I am one of those who waits for the current shampoo bottle to be empty before buying the next one. <BR/><BR/>BUT - I do believe that you are expected to take them and that the cost of them is built into the cost of your stay. They certainly would not re-use the products after you have used them, so I think you are just saving them from being tossed. <BR/><BR/>You are hilarious. If I have an emergency, I might take you up on those Aveda products!Katie Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325698808988434776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9841971.post-1158319475223218482006-09-15T04:24:00.000-07:002006-09-15T04:24:00.000-07:00It's the simple pleasures right?

However, as a veteran traveller, I have to say that the Hyatt Tokyo is well-known for their toiletries. You chose a good place to pillage. The slippers are above par but the robes are legendary. Other great places to steal toiletries...the Peninsula in Hong Kong, The Wynn in Las Vegas and the Hempel in London. The best? The Tribeca Grand Hotel in NYC has KIEHL'S toiletries! How cool is that?
