Things to remember when renting a hotel
By Jeff Lakie
Some people rarely stay at hotels and other people, like ¡°road warrior
business people¡± stay at hotels frequently. Here are some ideas from
the road warriors to help your stay go even more enjoyable to employ
a little hotel etiquette into your stay.
¡¤ Tip. Feel free to tip the bellhop and the housekeeper 5% to
20% for good service, depending on the situation and how
frequently they serve you.
¡¤ Laundry. Pile your laundry, including sheets into the bathtub
when you are leaving. Some people make the bed but
housekeeping has to strip the bed anyway, so by stripping the
bed instead of making it, you are performing a kind service for
housekeeping. Of course this is not necessary, but a courtesy
for them.
¡¤ Keep quiet. Many hotels have a quite rule after a certain hour,
but you can do all the other guests a favor by keeping quiet all
the time.
¡¤ Don't be alarming. Turn off your alarm before you leave for the
day so that it doesn't ring endlessly while you're away. And
make sure it's off before you check out because the hospitality
staff do not check each one and you don't want to wake up
the next person to stay in the room!
¡¤ Keep your television turned low and if it is tucked in close to
the wall, move it a way a few inches or put a pillow between
the television and the wall to cut down on the noise the
reverberates into the other room.
¡¤ Check the minibar when you first get into the room.
Sometimes people open the lids, drink the tiny bottles of liquor
and refill them with water and return them to the minibar. If the
hospitality staff don't catch it, and sometimes they don't you
may be charged if they catch it the next time they're in the
room. Eliminate that possibility by proactively checking
yourself first.
Staying at a hotel is a way to enjoy a vacation. But there are more
people than just you at a hotel. Be sure to be considerate of the staff
and other guests and everyone will have a great experience.
