They often have a few and they're happy to oblige good guests. * Get them to take away the germ-covered, rarely washed counterpane (bed cover). * Have them switch you to a room the 7th floor or below. Hook-and-ladder trucks can't reach about the 7th floor in the event of a fire. I always rent a car when attending a conference for more than a few days, hit Trader Joe's on the way to the hotel or the first night, and fill it up with fresh and unprocessed food.
