Good point.
Gee - I hope the OP appreciates all this effort! LOL!
The shower curtain hanging over the towel rack (where towels should be) is very unattractive and Iām wondering where the shower curtain liner is? There is only one curtain! There should be a waterproof curtain on the inside and a decorative curtain on the outside. Both should be clean and hanging down, with the liner on the inside and the clean decorative curtain on the outside. If I saw this in a hotel or Airbnb, I would think the maid was lazy and forgot to finish the job.

I use hooks, and yes every time. The shower curtain even it it looks clean is a place for hair to hide. Super sheddersā¦

I do not use a liner, the water does not go through to the other side and the curtain is washed between guests. The liners look bad fast.

I do this. I have 2 shower curtains/liners and while one is washing I clean the bathroom without having to work around the curtain or rug. Then I put the new one up and have the newly cleaned one ready to go.
Shower curtain and plastic liner go in with the sheets and doesnāt take 15 minutes to put in the rings - theyāre hooks, not closed rings with clasps. So itās minutes and I know guests are getting a super clean bath. Plus, I put the in-tub bath mat in with the towels.

Oh no. This comment makes me think that you never do the cleaning. 
In one rental, we have the curtain set-up. In the other, the glass door. Note that it was in place when the place was bought - we didnāt have a choice in the matter.
The glass doors are simply horrible to clean. The groove in which they sit tends to attract the hostsā greatest enemy - hairs.
Providing a squeegee makes no difference to the way that the guest behaves. Even the best of guests are more interested in getting to the beach / wedding / party / job interview / gig or whatever they came here for than squeegeeing a shower.
Iām pretty good at cleaning and donāt mind doing it - except that bloody glass shower door. It takes ages. With the other rental, the shower curtain and liner just go into the laundry with everything else and the replacements take about three minutes to add. Job done.

Busted! I must admit that my wife is in there dealing with the glass when we turn it. And just today, in fact, she insisted we get more of that Rain-X stuff for the shower enclosures. My design aesthetic insists on a glass enclosure because the bathrooms in our places are small and we spend quite a bit of money on tile and want it to be seen. 
I canāt believe there is a known institution/process about shower curtains! I had no idea they were easy to change and/or there was anyone out there that had multiple shower curtains on a rotation akin to changing sheets. Absolutely know more than I did yesterday. Very cool.

Rain X is brilliant but it doesnāt solve all the glass problems, unfortunately. I do the standard thing of cleaning the interior glass horizontally and the exterior vertically so I can tell whether any smears are inside or outside but itās still time-consuming. I even wrote an article about the evils of glass in the bathroom a couple of years ago.
Yep, shower curtains any day for me.

Should be? No, that is one way to do it, but plenty of people only use the one waterproof shower curtain, and plenty of those are quite attractive. Why have two things to clean, when one is perfectly adequate?
And outside of North America, I have never seen anyone use a decorative shower curtain combined with a liner. Iām not saying it never happens, itās just not something at all common anywhere I have ever travelled.

Iām going to do the tile myself for my unit. My brother lives about 30 miles from Delores Hidalgo, MX, a town famous for ceramics, and there are several companies that will put your custom designs on tiles.
I want to do a sitdown shower. Unfortunately my bathroom is too small for the steam unit Iād like to have. A friend in Portland OR installed one in his multiheaded shower, and I love it.

Iāve just simply never seen it, ever - even in the U.S.

We do that. We have a beautiful Waverly fabric decorative curtain, a beaded valance, and a fabric-like water-shedding liner.
Is this a regional thing, within the U.S. maybe?
For an STR I wouldnāt want the extra work involved during a changeover.

I live in El Paso but the culture I was raised with is solid South. I have a cloth outer curtain with liner for my tub/shower combo, so did my sister. Iāve seen it so much I wouldnāt even think twice about it; therefore I canāt pinpoint if itās regional or not.

LOL. Yep and drove through there once going from Midland to Austin.
I was going to say maybe itās socio-economic or cultural but then thought maybe I shouldnāt. I think of it as being very middle class and old fashioned or if you want to be cool about it, vintage. The same folks who over-decorate might have three things hanging over their shower. Years ago my mom made me a holiday shower curtain with valance and to be used with a plastic liner. I still have it and it still looks like new. I think I used the valance as a table runner though. LOL.

Yeah, I get the set up, but just not for me.
Weāve two standalone glass/aluminium cabinets and a glass wall to a walk in shower. All clean up easy enough with my magic solution (white wine vinegar and fairy liquid) and the runners etc on cabinets get a blast from the steam cleaner every so often.
JF
They also make them with a single hook. I see the 2nd hook as optional because we all do it our way and some people even have glass, can you imagine that?
Lol
RR
Edited to add, I just remembered that last year a guest actually traveled with a shower curtain liner and left it on the 2nd hooks.
I am guessing they were skeptical of cleanliness in general to actually travel with liners.
Yes. Iām in Ohio. Like @KKC, Iāve seen it many times all over the US.
