Hotels I have visited recently have all stopped cleaning rooms, due to "COVID-19 safety". But, when you request so at the reception, they will clean it (fresh towels is nice when you stay a week).

Don't get me wrong, I think this is actually smart, because most guest don't need to have their room cleaned every day. This is a massive cost saver for hotels. However, you'd expect prices to go down by this cost saving measure, but instead, they have gone up. Less service, higher prices.
