Hotel Housekeeping Adapts to Guest Opt-Out Programs
Fewer daily room cleans are reshaping housekeeping labor.

Checkout cleans are heavier when rooms go several days between services.
Public areas — lobbies, corridors, ballrooms — are getting more attention, often with powered floor care.
Housekeeping managers are re-planning staffing around these shifts.
