As a matter of fact, most do. But I still find the Today paper in front of my door...
One of their executives mentioned that hotels and motels are their sales target. The company has dozens of printing locations and bundles of Today papers are unloaded from the first arriving airport flights and dropped at contract hotels.
I do not understand why local newspapers tolerate this. If I were the editor of a local paper in, say Chattanooga, I'd make damned sure my paper was in front of every hotel door in town.

That’s good to hear. I’ll be making the same request for an adjustment in hotel bills.

I’d bet cash money that local papers can’t compete because USA Today is GIVING them away to hotels willing to litter their hallways with the wasted ink and pulp.
