Not in many parts of California due to water shortages - you have to ask
for it. I don't think a glass of water really makes much of a difference
considering all the showers, toilet flushs, lawn watering, etc.

Most hotels won't wash your bath towels by default unless you put them in
a designated spot.

I used to have to do that when I drank a liter of cheap vodka every night.
Now I don't usually have to worry about being dehydrated in the middle of
the night.
