If anyone has a clue I would be interested in hearing the answer...Sounds kooky I know but considering the wear and tear that the hotel rooms get I am very curious as to how they plan ahead for replacements of items as visitors destory them over time with just daily use....

Even if the temporary carpet was there for 10 months, be happy that it's finally here. Yes at a deluxe hotel we expect more, but how many casual vacationers would notice? Ok maybe a few given how pretty the rest of the hotel is. Let's hope that this carpet looks pretty for years to come, and that when they turn the lights on the tree, the "lights" won't be orange.
