Should a Rental look like a Hotel? [Photo Included!]
So, I'm coming to the end of a road trip throughout California, and I've stayed in a number of hotels. I noticed that every hotel has 2 similarities -
-Textured Wallpaper
-Really short carpet
I'm wondering if anyone does this in their rentals? There must be an economical reason every hotel in America does this. I'm guessing both hold up much better, with all the traffic. So, should be be doing this in our rentals? Thoughts?

I own a number of hotel condo units. It looks like they may change carpets inside about every 6 years. It is the decision of the management, not of the owner. The owners get billed either from certain reserve funds or deducted from rental income. Common area carpet change is different, it may be charged through a special
assessment of POA also about every 6 years.
Hard carpeting is much easier for service carts to roll on.
