Agreed, utterly scummy. The 2010 con cannot move -- there is just no place to go on such short notice -- but my "inside line" is working on options for 2011 and onward. (And that's all I can say, really, besides that probably *every* hotel chain is doing this. The only way they save money is by the outsourcing company's housekeepers being paid even less... so some middleman somewhere makes more. GRrrrrrr!)
