Key points
- Hotel Avante advertises Jonathan Adler bath amenities
- Housekeeping carts revealed drugstore HASK shampoo and unbranded squeeze bottles
- Similar substitution issues were previously documented at a sister property
Hotel Avante in Mountain View, California, prominently promotes Jonathan Adler bath amenities across all of its guest room categories on both its official website and booking pages. However, recent photographic evidence from a property housekeeping cart reveals a different reality, showing a 12-ounce retail bottle of HASK Tea Tree Oil and Rosemary Invigorating Shampoo alongside unbranded condiment-style squeeze bottles marked with handwritten tape for body wash.
This discrepancy impacts travelers who select properties based on advertised brand amenities and loyalty standards. The practice of using reusable branded dispensers allows properties to swap out premium contents for budget alternatives while maintaining the illusion of luxury, potentially protecting owner profit margins at the expense of brand reputation.
Before you go: Similar substitution practices have been documented at related regional properties, highlighting a broader monitoring issue with bulk dispenser programs across certain franchise locations. Fares, amenities, and property standards are subject to change without notice.
