Hotels turn to robots and room cleanings every 4 days to ease staffing shortages

Even bad hotels do this, because people lose their shit and do chargebacks if they end up in an uncleaned room.

So if your friend says this, this implies that uncleaned rooms do happen from time to time, right?

No, it means that when housekeeping fails to clean a room, for whatever reason, he can't rent it out.

The people losing their minds and screaming at him is what happens when something else that isn't quite to their satisfaction happens. Like, say, the hotel requiring a deposit and a major credit card and ID to book a room.

This happens in 5 star luxury hotels too. People make mistakes.

I recently made a bad choice in hotel and ended up at a fairly dodgy looking place, most of the lights in the room didn’t function and the shower didn’t work properly, but it was spotlessly clean so I accepted the mistake.
