Origin of nightly turndown

Nighly turndown originated after @Claire and I got back from our 4th annual resort trip for our anniversary. We were in the middle of moving, prepping our house to rent out, and interviewing for a job. In other words, we were exhausted.

At the resort, housekeeping visits once in the morning and again in the evening. We would return each night from a romantic dinner to find our sheets neatly folded over and fresh water on our bedside tables with the balcony doors open letting in the sound and smell of the sea. Something about it felt so rejuvenating and it became a practice I wanted to bring home into our daily life.
