The Hotel Amenities Wars

[@ThomasFlight]

Thanks for watching everyone! I don't usually do requests as I have more video ideas than I have time to make usually, but I'm curious... what kind of videos would you like to see?

[@lalalolo5666]

Thomas Flight just cause you asked, i like these kinds of documentaries. So i dont know something similar about amazon vs brick & mortar stores would be an idea. Or talking about the loto and how its bad. I also really like your better call saul vid. Your choice though, i have 0 confidence on this advice :p i just wrote what i like

[@LordofBroccoli]

Really interesting video on a topic I had no idea existed. I really love your channel, and unconventional videos like this is why.

[@bheatrizjerezz9372]

i need peoples than know about inglsh becaused i not understan this video and have a homework about it

[@EntertainTheElk]

I like the originality of this video topic. Keep 'em coming!

[@ThomasFlight]

Thanks Adam!

As someone who work in the hotel industry, there is a constant war over breakfast options and robes. Managers would travel around the country at least once a month to a different better ranked hotel to check out the competition, and would steal manufacturer's contacts to upgrade their own supplies. We upgrade every 2 years on areas deemed not up to standard to keep up with customer demand.

Marriott hotels always have a copy of my favorite fan fiction, The Book of Mormon, in addition to the Holy Bible. They win the literature amenities award.

Jesus? :O

[@drewsnyder1436]

Jason Bourne it’s Jesus Christ...

[@nemtudom5074]

lmao

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

How in the hell did you make a video about hotels fighting with each other over beds and soap interesting?

[@ThomasFlight]

Movie Magic ;)

[@j.w.2865]

I was wondering the same thing. This was actually really fascinating

[@MarkParq]

This was great! I really dig video essays, and have watched yours for a long time, and this is really nice to see something that doesn't have to do with movies/tvshows. Keep it up, sprinkling this kind of stuff in, is 100% awesome.

[@ThomasFlight]

Thanks! It's fun to do something different for a change. Keeps things fresh. :)

[@MrCowboySpaceman]

this was pretty bad ass, another great Flight essay

[@TheRealPinkWish]

Thanks for making this great video! Very interesting. The first time I watched it I had no idea there was such a war.

[@YouFightLikeACow]

Love the tone you use. Great concept.

[@ThomasFlight]

It was a lot of fun to make :)

[@wroth]

In hotels I've stayed at recently, I've seen an egregious trend of tacking an additional "amenities fee" on top of the price of the room. The rooms aren't cheaper, they're just literally raising the price to get you to pay for the same amenities a second time. If that wasn't bad enough, some amenities fees go towards "minibar credit" allowing you to take things from the minibar "for free" up to a certain amount. That's right, you're paying extra to have some of that money given back to you in a lesser form, that can only be spent on grossly overpriced products you don't even want. Not only that, the products can be priced in a way that is impossible to take exactly the offered value (e.g. products costing $8 and $12 when they give you $10 credit) forcing you to leave credit unspent, or go over and have to spend extra.

[@raytsh]

Such a weird topic for a video essay. I like it!

[@ThomasFlight]

Gotta mix things up from time to time :)

[@TheRealPinkWish]

No offense, I just want to point out that this is a forgotten topic that concerns all of us. It's actually weird that nobody else is making videos about it.

Hotel-vengers: Amenity War

"Coming this summer to a theater near you, Thanos threatens to reduce the number of soaps from 3 to 2!"

[@HelixAmenities]

As an amenities company from nyc I am always looking to have my clients one up the surrounding hotels or residential buildings with amazing add on’s. It’s a never ending war.

[@GuitarMikeRocks]

This is brilliant. Reminds me of the Community episode "Pillows and Blankets".

[@ThomasFlight]

Haven't seen that one. I'll have to watch it :)

[@GuitarMikeRocks]

@@ThomasFlight It's an episode where two characters (grown men, no less) have a fight between their pillow and blanket forts, respectively. But the catch is that it's all done is the style of a Ken Burns documentary with narration by Keith David.

[@dominictemple]

That little image of toothpaste is so true, I mean goddam it even airplanes provide bloody toothpaste.

[@jayfolk]

someone rented a hotel recently, and gotten really into it enough to make a video. thought it said "hotel Artemis wars"

[@radhiadeedou8286]

For some reason I really like it when a hotel room has a nespresso machine, I don't even drink coffee it just feels fancy

[@joshuagraham967]

Would love more design videos like this

[@davidalbee5039]

Fascinating!

[@lalalolo5666]

The quality on this vid is insane. Remember me when youre at 100k subs

[@ThomasFlight]

Hope so! Doing my best.

[@davidbrown5628]

Very interesting! I notice less and less shke horns in hotel rooms now!

[@annamiau8116]

cats that visit your room? thats amazing.

[@kathlynp.6697]

Star Wars Episode IX is looking rough!

[@itsabegaleofficial9]

The very important goal of a hotel is to make their guest the best feeling while staying in. A lot of amenities are offered on different hotel establisments to give their guest the SATISFACTION; cleanliness, luxury, service. They are competitive to be known . As for me, as long s the hotel gives me the comfort and provides great service. I will be satisfied even if it is not luxurious. ~Abegale.

[@aroseprince]

This video should have the most views of all in the channel

[@TheRealPinkWish]

I agree. It's very much affecting all of us.

[@starpilotalliance]

That clock.

[@Jacob_._Roberts]

Have you make a video dealing with what amenities are available, and how much do they add to your daily hotel / motel rate?

[@ctallum1]

My favorite amenity is DoubleTree Hilton's free chocolate chip cookies.

Ooooh this ain’t films, I like it

[@damonsamuel3672]

Those musket shots at 432 lol

[@griffinwagner635]

Thanks for the sticker!

[@ThomasFlight]

Thanks for the support!

[@pladmitry]

Awesome video! btw, film grain seems to really screw with picture quality on youtube

[@ThomasFlight]

It does a bit, although in this case, it's more often me using the film grain to "try to" cover over the low-resolution footage/photos I had available.

[@pladmitry]

@@ThomasFlight Well, the changes in quality from clip to clip weren't that noticeable. I guess it means that either the grain trick worked, or I paid much more attention to the narrative. Either way, thanks again for a great video, keep up the good work!

[@jb31842]

@3:34 OK but TFW the poster is too young to know that a "video recorder" means a VCR not a camera or camcorder...

[@mr.eeggbert1340]

Hey Thomas 😆

Hello.

🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🥕🥕🥕

[@Angenga]

enjoyable video but it was a pretty weird choice to make the tone so serious and play on the 'war' part so heavily

[@ThomasFlight]

It's meant to be tongue in cheek. :) Just having a bit of fun.

[@OliverObz]

lol I was thinking the same but ok lol didn't notice.

[@imatthewryan4076]

what the hell are you talking about Thomas?
