You can prevent that by staying at cheaper hotels.
That's actually better advice than you think.
I'm not very interested in most of what more money gets you at hotels. I don't need a big room or even multiple rooms. I don't need a big bed, especially not with six thousand pillows. I don't give a damn about their breakfast or room service. I don't want a TV, a bathtub, a minibar, or a fucking trousers press. I've never used a hotel pool, massage facilities, office facilities etc.
A 10 sqm room with a 90x200cm bed with a decent mattress, a single chair with a small table, a shower, decent WLAN, clean and not too noisy, modern design. That's really all I want.
I know one hotel chain that comes somewhat close to my requirements, namely Ibis, but they are only widely available in France.

One "My Pillow". Under my head.
Yes, same.
I've never understood why anyone would use more than one pillow.
I hate it when I arrive at a hotel in the US and the bed is covered with dozens of completely useless pillows.

You must have gotten my room by mistake. Extra pillows is in my Marriott profile.

For years, I used just one pillow at night.

In English, we don't refer to them as fucking trousers, we call them short shorts.

You are all SO picky.
When I think of the dives that I've stayed in. . .
Faucet works, toilet flushes. My minimum standards. -
