The age of the operating system does not apply. A lot of the software/database system for the enterprise is designed specifically for one OS and cannot just be changed/upgraded. Lowes uses Linux for example. I still use Windows 7 myself because every other OS since has been utter crap and makes simple tasks twice as complicated. Just because something is new doesn't mean it works. I've actually never stayed in a hotel, I find small travel motels more welcoming and accommodated, less full of people, and cheaper. Especially when you're only staying a night or two. They get less customers so there is more time for staff to clean the rooms. Pretty much a lot of the prices you're just paying for the location and the brand and that's about it. Motels by any airport are the worst with prices.

I stayed in a couple of off-price hotels (motels actually, since the rooms had their doors to the outside) and they didn't even have carpet. they just had faux hardwood and the housekeeping carts had no vacuums at all, just brooms and dustpans. One of the hotels was in a coastal city and the sand on the floor was miserable. They really needed a damp mop to clean the floors properly. I never want to stay at either of those places again.

I can attest.
I went to a Holiday Inn on a trip like 2 years ago, and I saw two Bissell Powerforce machines. If you're going to buy a Bissell for commercial use, at least get either the bagged Powerforce or the BigGreen BGU1514T. At a Quality Inn I stayed at during another trip, I saw a handful of dump-out bag Sanitares. Both machines I'd say are not ideal for the hospitality industry in the slightest.

This is a message to all the hotel housekeepers: you may think a bagless machine tends to save you money because you're not buying bags. Actually, bagless machines tend to not really save you money. Bottom line, bagged machines FTW! | ||

The hotels get a quantity deal on those Bissell machines. They use them until something happens to them, then they throw them away and get out another one. The hotel itself probably only has about $45 in each machine, their cost. It's much more cost efficient just to use disposable vacuum cleaners, since most hotel maids tend not to stay for very long. Days or weeks.
