My room was ready 15 minutes later.I'm not sure at all. Basically, the government first made the announcement of it being $2,000 CAD for the 3 days at all locations. I assumed this was perhaps for 3 nights along with food services and an inclusive PCR test or two and charges for security dispatched to the hotel to watch the quarantine guests.Some do: with people you have reason to trust. A friend of a friend, not so much. But the people you have reason to trust usually number about, uh, four, against 7.5 billion others.The Ultimatum: The Update. So I put up this post about my difficulties at work less than 24 hours ago. And boy howdy, do I have some updates: The manager crumpled my notes in front of me, then told me to e-mail my two weeks notice. He apparently then proceeded to tell every employee on-site that I had turned in my two weeks' notice, even though ...please pay attention when checking in. this has happened many times before. but I just checked in a guest and his buddy was checking in next to him, and everytime I would open my mouth to speak, he would cut me off and start talking to his friend. once I gave him his keys, I tried to tell him the location of the room and again, he turned his ...I alternate between 3 different pairs. I have two pairs of shoes from the Cam Newton collection (retail $140, but you can almost always find sales on them at Belk and such, I got mine on black friday for $13 a pop) and they are actually really well made shoes, with a insole that feels like its memory phone which is great.He makes small talk with me and asks if I am new. I tell him I came from another hotel and he asks which. Decent enough pleasantries for small talk. He then asks me if his room is right out of the elevator. Having been used to my old property, I tell him yes. He says good and is on his way.Some do: with people you have reason to trust. A friend of a friend, not so much. But the people you have reason to trust usually number about, uh, four, against 7.5 billion others.Stories from a Long term Hotel Guest. Few years ago, I lived in a hotel for work purposes, for three and a half months. I was polite to all the workers, and left a raving review that called out people for their amazing service. A lot of these stories on this sub resonate with me, because I saw a lot of the fuckery you guys unfortunately deal ...There's only one elevator which all of you tried to squeeze into. Holding the doors open so long, that little alert noise started to go off. You let your kids play with the call button in the elevator so my front desk phone kept ringing. One of your gigantic 7 feet tall nephews hit his head on the way out of the elevator; and somehow that's the ...Unfortunately for them, the bank had all but told me they'd really not likely be able to get to the bottom of that one as their investigation would require getting security footage of the time stamp of transaction but they couldn't decipher the info regarding where it originated, and they'd already assumed it was the airline ticket fraud thing so figured they already weren't having ...Roughly, 30 minutes later one of the cops returns. Detective has called a second time. Cop goes up and comes down, once again, finding nothing wrong. Things seem to quiet down for a while, but two hours later (roughly 3:45am) a third cop arrives. Detective has called once more, and the cop has heard from his fellow officers of our Detective guest.That is horrible. First of all: I am glad you are okay - and that nobody was seriously harmed. Take a minute to let things sink in: you played a part in everyone getting out safely - and you made sure the culprit was caught (and can hopefully get the help she needs).I disagree, for example say to book 7 days its $350. That is 50 per night and to book 5 days its $450. That is 90 per night. A guest just wants to pay $50 per night but only wants to stay for 5 days so they book it for 7 days and effectively gets the rate to 50 per day and now they plan to leave on the 5th day.If staff wants to provide free rooms for guests (homeless or not) they clearly can provide their own card to cover the costs. What they don't get to do is push the costs on the business without the consent of the business. It's a lot easier to say no when you're giving away your own money instead of throwing the costs or risk at your employer.No, you are not the only Mike staying in this 350 room hotel. In the couple of months that I have worked front desk I have gotten really annoyed by guests who expect us to just know everything and think that we have nothing else to do besides cater to them and only them. One thing that keeps happening: people ordering food, without telling the ...Worked front desk for years. A frequent executive stayed once a month. He was good looking, quiet. Has a wife and they adopted two kids. Months into him staying, a very obvious lady of the night walked in asking how to get to his room. Cheating, hooking, etc. are as common at a hotel like rain in Seattle. For a change of pace, this story if from the front desk of a medical practice. A woman approached my desk today to sign in for her appointment, everything on fairly routine until she realizes she has a copay. "I have been coming here for literal months and have never had a copay, my insurance" blah blah blah.Give me my refund!!! Hey second time poster in the group. ( just a rant) I (19f) work for a very small hotel. With new management. Well I just got a call from a really angry man who said we owe him $160 as a refund and sat there for 5 minutes screaming about how im going to get him a refund. Witch I explained only managers can do. While I'm talking to her my maintenance man comes up and I tell him hey he seemed upset if I need you will call for you. About ten minutes later Timmy comes back in. Timmy: Are you sure I can't check in. This is when I get annoyed because for one you're questioning me the worker who obviously knows our policies.Papa John's will give us half-off for pizza delivered to the front desk. Domino's gives us business cards and when we reach 10, we can trade them in for a free pizza. Its an ongoing struggle around here to be the one on duty when that 10th card is reached and we can order a ā¦But I'm a irresponsible parent. For a change of pace, this story if from the front desk of a medical practice. A woman approached my desk today to sign in for her appointment, everything on fairly routine until she realizes she has a copay. "I have been coming here for literal months and have never had a copay, my insurance" blah blah blah. Typically I tell them they're DNR'd and when they ask why the system pops up with their previous stay and a note saying why. Most of the time I'll tell them exactly why. They fucked up, caused me problems, and if it was bad enough to get you DNR'd, I'm not going to be nice to you. Edit: There has been ONCE where we had a guy that would keep ...In 2020 our prices were $60 a night for a standard and $80 for a suite. I was told by the morning shift lady who has been here decades that those were pretty standard prices for years. Now they're $100 for a standard NQQ/NK and $120+ for a suite depending on the night. This weekend standards were starting at $170 and people were pissed.Night Audit Storyā¦. Ok, so this is my first post! And since Iāve become a night audit about 10 weeks ago, this is my first real weird evening. So, it starts with a remote control not working. Nothing too crazy, I go upstairs reprogram it all good. Then, at about 1:34 in the morning, right as I begin my night audit, I noticed that I have a ...Give me my refund!!! Hey second time poster in the group.

Witch I explained only managers can do. Poldaran ā¢ 4 days ago. āIf they donāt do anything Iām going to go up there myself and bang on the door and tell them to be quiet.ā. "Ma'am, if you do that and they complain, it will be YOU that gets kicked out of the hotel. There will be no refunds. Please allow us to handle it." 136. JennFoogle ā¢ 4 days ago.Thoughts from the Front Desk. I'm on Day 5 of a 7-day stretch at work and I'm ready to eat this computer I'm typing on. Since me staring at the time isn't making it go any faster, I thought I'd be semi-productive and type out the thoughts I've been screaming in my head. For added fun, there will be no context, but anything you're curious about ...So I'm thinking she's trying to BS her way into a free cancellation because she probably got a cheaper rate at the sister hotel. "Oh I see, do you have any specific details on why you felt unsafe?" "Well, there were some really sketchy people hanging outside." "Did you come in and talk to the front desk?" "No, I didn't even feel safe enough to ...Unfortunately the industry is full of crappy management. I started over a year ago and love the industry, but theres definitely turnoffs. Most franchises fucking suck as they push for profits over ensuring standards and procedures are in place and brand owned properties fair better but not by an extreme.Stories from a Long term Hotel Guest.

Working a 7-3 shift, my day was already going horrible due my horrible co worker screaming at me in front of a lobby of people eating, because I changed the tv channel to the news, which is policy to have on in the morning , and he felt "triggered" by the news, yeah ok fuck off dude ...I'm not sure at all.
