Channeling Andy Rooney

Why do hotels believe they need to pile the beds with decorative pillows?

I recently stayed at a chain that rhymes with "schmyatt." This is the bed. (Which, by the way, they claimed was a queen-size bed. HA! For pygmies, maybe. We have a queen size bed at home. I beg to differ. I'll save the rest of my opinions regarding my stay for my letter to the CEO.)

Notice that there are already 3 pillows on the bed. So that makes 6 pillows (if you count the 3 on the other bed in the room).



Then there are the decorative pillows. These are the other pillows that were on the two beds. They take up a whole corner of the room.



And what's with the length of fabric that they drape over the foot of the bed? It's not a bedspread. I can't imagine it gets washed frequently (ewwww). It's just another decorative piece that ends up on the floor, along with the rest of the pillows.

Maybe this is why a bare-bones continental breakfast costs an arm and a leg (not including room service fee and gratuity). Someone's gotta pay for all those freaking pillows.
