Or equivalent. Most of those seal the washed cups in paper or
plastic to show that they have done so. Sadly from an
environmental standpoint, there are fewer that do wash things
that way than there were a decade or two ago: especially for a
large hotel with many rooms it is simply cheaper to supply
disposable paper and/or plastic cups in the rooms that it is to
haul the glassware to the washing device, seal it, and haul it
back to the rooms.
It is a problem, but there is little point in blaming a single
hotel -- it is a chain-wide and industry-wide economic and
policy problem.
Bring your own and/or wash your own. And, by the way, if you
are sensitive to such things washing cups or glassware from
which you intend to eat or drink with hand or bath soap is often
not really optimal because of moisturizing or fragrance
ingredients. A 100 ml bottle of dish soap goes a long way.
