Hotel royal flush
Tourists may not have been aware of it but a recent newspaper story pointed out that hotel toilets are less likely these days to get rid of all the waste. Changes to building codes mean that the toilets have to flush with about half the water they used to need.
The story says all three of the Loews’ hotels at Universal Orlando had workers responding to 120 service calls a month. All these required a toilet plunger. About one dozen guests a day had no relief from the issue.
The Loews chain decided to upgrade its toilets across its properties. But not just with any old thing.
“We’re talking American Standard’s Champion 4,” says the Gulliver column in The Economist.
The message here is simple: the good times are set to roll.
