I always thought of SA as the world's largest playground. Rules change S of 24N.

Just tell the hotel when you check in that you don't want turn down service. Problem solved.

Just absurd!
Luxury is absurd in its most basic form. It is not that you need someone to do for you, but derived from the days where servants where plentiful and those who employed them basically did nothing for themselves.
ETA: I like being pampered like this from time to time. If I have worked hard to pay for such things, why shouldn't I pay for services that I enjoy? Same goes for spa services, shoe shines, haircuts, restaurants. Don't know why this concept is shocking to people.

The best turndown is at The Capital Hotel in Little Rock. With turndown, they leave a pack of toffee on your pillow. It's the best - that stuff is like crack. I've never called for turndown - it is always just done while we're out.

This. It always pisses me off. If its late night and I am in my boxers with my wife I don't want some Asian lady knocking on my door asking if she can tuck us in. It was so weird.

I'm not sure most of you understand what turn down service is. No one comes in to actually tuck you in (at least not at any hotel I've ever stayed I before). They just remake the bed with the sheets pulled down slightly, adjust lights and leave some sort of chocolate.

Thanks for clearing that up for us.

I am sure you can turn down the service.

A lady would never ask and a gentlemen would never share this information.
Against the Asian you had a boxers rebellion in your room?

I've never called for this. They always just did it. The most absurd luxury "service" IMO is a bathroom attendant. It's awkward. I've never needed assistance washing my hands after using the restroom (which I always do because I'm not trash) and I don't want to tip somebody for handing me a fricking towel. It's just weird and annoying.

This is the outline for what would have been a fantastic Monty Python skit.

Stayed at the Sofitel in DC and it was done always while I was out. Lights were set low, classical musical put on, and the sheets turned. They didn't leave candy but left a bottle of water which is just fine for me.

I like getting the free chocolates and mints when they turndown the bed though.

The wife turns me down for bed service on the reg and I don't even pay for a hotel room.
