Most of our guests FLY in with luggage & rent a car & drive to our place. We usually do the same when we travel. If you've not flown lately, you don't GET that carrying your own LINENS & essentials in your luggage ADDS to the already LIMITED, continuously dwindling maximum weight requirements for checked baggage on airlines. I simply will NOT stay at a place that does not provide clean linens...especially if we are having to schlep luggage to actually get to a place. I agree that changing linens/bedding for just a one night stay is a lot of work & waste of resources. So...we UPPED our minimum stay to 2 nights. Never had any problems since. We were getting a LOT of one nighters before that. Two nights minimum works well for us & we have no problems staying booked. I suspect if we didn't offer linens/toilet paper/shampoo/soap, et cetera (basic essentials), we wouldn't get nearly as many bookings. I build all of those expenses into our nightly price...'cost of doing business'. I also don't charge 'cleaning fees'. It is my experience that people do NOT like to see the word, 'FEES', i.e., 'RESORT FEES', 'CLEANING FEES', 'PARKING FEES', 'ATM FEES', et al. So we don't stay at places that charge 'cleaning fees'. For cryin' out loud. BUILD that in to your 'nightly fee'. I just have to laugh at some of the ridiculous 'cleaning fees' some hosts charge. It's an obvious 'extra cash' route for a lot of hosts. I think it was one of their 'dumbest' ideas to date. I suppose the whole 'bring your own linens, essentials' thing is more a 'cultural' thing than anything else. We traveled to Scandinavia last year for 3 weeks. Drove all over Norway, Sweden & Denmark (after flying from Los Angeles). Several places required us to provide our own linens OR pay a 'FEE' to have them provided. Because of some of the remote locations, I reluctantly booked a couple of these places & just paid the 'FEE' to have them provided & figured this is part of the Scandinavian 'culture'. But we've traveled all over the world including our own country, the USA & this was the first place we had encountered such a thing. One place in Denmark even charged for electricity & water & buried that important information in their 'house rules', which I, unfortunately, did not read before I booked! If you're doing a road trip & have a giant car, carrying your own 'essentials' ain't a big deal. But again, if you're schlepping luggage through an airline, which I suspect most people do when they travel, this is a HUGE deal. Just my 'professional' opinion.
