"My other thought would lean on the appearance of cleanliness thing. Bed bugs and such."

It would be interesting to put this to the test by creating a hotel line that looks like In N' Out Burger; all white and red tile, spotlessly clean and eye-searingly bright. Maybe it would work. Maybe not... because in fact beige looks 'dirtier' than white. It is white with brown added to it.

If clean was the single biggest concern, why not go for high-gloss white walls, bright primary colors and super-bright lights? To my eye, the designers have not been asked to make the hotels look "clean" but "boring".

Clean would actually look space-age cool.

Again, WHY BORING?????
