English term or phrase: turndown service
Definition from own experience or research:
In hotels, the practice of folding back the blanket and sheet of the bed in the evening, sometimes accompanied by putting a mint on the pillow or a cordial on the night stand

Example sentence(s):
  • More and more hotels are starting to pay attention to their turndown services and that's a good thing because chocolate mints and the forecast for the next day's weather are starting to get a tad tired. HotelChatter
  • In the evening, hotels that offer turndown service require housekeeping to enter the guest rooms once again to physically turn down the covers of the bed and remove any excess pillows or blankets, to make the bed more inviting to guests. raveable
  • But, ultimately, the company concluded that eliminating nightly turndown service would be a costly mistake. USATODAY.com
