After all, no one wants to forget that favourite holiday item - such as a newly bought bikini, or a much-needed sunhat.

Environmentally Friendly Hotels in RichmondMore and more hotels in Richmond, Virginia have become environmentally friendly over the years. Eco-friendly hotels have implemented the optional linen service, encouraging their guests to reuse their towels and sheets to avoid changing them every day and the hotel staff only changes the linen upon request.
