I actually bring my own sheets to top the hotel sheets. That way if there is an…unexpected, I can just throw it off and lay on mine. And there’s usually always a washer/dryer in a hotel or at a friend’s place I can use. 1 is thinner but another is a thick duvet cover. I love it. Got it from Macy’s years ago. It’s all cotton and folds up enough to fit in a duffle bag, but it can be somewhat heavy with other items. Yeah they are. I know my doctor I believe is Indian along with several of the other medical professionals ones there. There’s actually a population of Indians (maybe they’re from another surrounding country but doubt it, and not getting technical here) who live in the city I live, who go to the university for medical school. But I wondered this myself awhile ago and looked it up. I would stop in cities and towns with no Indian population, yet the hotels are Indian owned. Even where my relatives live, there’s only 2 hotels in town. The only “chain” one is owned by an Indian guy who is there every time I check in. I can tell he just wants to get me in and out. When I ask for a preference on room location, he’s like no, everything booked.

lol this didn’t require a cross examination. I know what I’m talking about. Many are Indians from India 🇮🇳 That’s a well known fact. YOU KNOW I’ll quote more articles to backup what I’m saying lol. I never said nationality mattered. I’m specifically talking about Indians who run majority of the hotels in the network I book. I know they’re often from Indian, and it’s no diss towards Indians. It just happens to be the majority who own the hotels in America. It’s facts, not prejudice: And for your information, the ones in hospitality not always ”politically correct “ to us either. I don’t know how Black Americans/Africans are treated or viewed in India, but I have seen how some of the Indian hoteliers can be in areas of certain communities. I have seen them run hotels in every state. I’ve had to ask them to change certain items that appeared not clean, and they get an attitude with me because I have a standard for cleanliness they maybe aren’t used to some guests asking for. Lots of stains on the chair? Switch me a new one. Room has an off smell? Change me to a new one. I’ve even been told I can check out if I don’t like it. So how can you be so politically correct about what I refer to them as? lol. You are getting a bit technical with the whole ”they might not be from India” lecture. I doubt even they would be arguing with me about their nationality 😆 Indian-Americans Own 60 Percent Of Hotel Industry In U.S. - TheUNN THEUNN.COM Accounting for 34,260 hotels across the United States, Indian Americans owned hotels account for 60 percent... How Indian Americans Came to Run Half of All U.S. Motels WWW.NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC.COM Starting in the 1940s, Indian immigrants built a hospitality industry that their children and grandchildren...

I thought more than anything you were referring to the provider wanting to take pics/videos for their content pages (after all, there are some hot and/or “virile” clients out there that could potentially make for great material). In that case, I’ve at times been asked not to record them…without actually stating I would be. Of course I remind them I would never without consent. No hidden cameras or anything to worry. If a client asks to, sometimes I will but: if it’s for their personal use, I may ask for something a little more inclusive to the rate. However with my new content site, I don’t generally get asked for it as much lately…they tend to know where to get souvenirs 😜 🌉

Stay if you want, you’re welcome to. But it’s just not going to be conducive if you or others continue to start arguments with me. There’s a difference. But how convenient, look at what I found from a recent reviewer from that same hotel: and another: Think hotels are fair and just doing business? Think again…this is the behavior I refer to.

Well what good are you putting out, by skirting the topic all together and just pinpointing what I post about? Again: If you don’t like what I have to talk about, get the fuck out. I didn’t invite you here. I would care less if you replied or not if it wasn’t going to be something constructive, and not constructive criticism. People have given advice, like @Shawn Monroe did. But it didn’t include some backhanded statement used to put me down like some have. If someone comes at me aggressive and trying to minimize and dilute my experience, then you expect me to be like: “okay you’re right, I’m wrong. I should of just left like a little bitch and not said anything…even though a white customer would have wrote a scathing review on that hotel“ Stop, just stop. Don’t go there with me.

Me not being particular to hotel checkout times is not necessarily related to escorting. Nor does it just affect those who travel for that purpose. You have to be willing to think critically enough to view the actual issue, versus making a statement implying I don’t enjoy being an escort. I remember awhile back talking to one escort in a town who said something similar: he said he used to travel but he got so tired of checking into and out of hotels, so he rarely does anymore. Unfortunately I can’t stay in the same locale back to back because I wouldn’t get enough serious bookings. Plus I don’t even like the area I live in, so traveling is something I have needed to do for my own sanity. The monkey wrench in the equation: The tiring process of changing hotels almost daily or every other day, or being faced with a bill every morning to pay for a second night. Yes, that is how it goes in hotels. I’m not asking the world to change, but as the topic of the thread states: it still wears me out. Not even being tired during sex, but what I’ve found it seems to do to my sleep schedule, which seems to then especially during winter: affects my health. I had to admit myself to the hospital the other day for breathing issues, after spending a couple nights at a hotel that…just didn’t feel very clean. Nice hotel on the outside and my room; but the hallways smelt stank and dank. And there was a constant running fan between the living room and bedroom that was dusty. Probably contributed to it. I didn’t even host there, it was just for my own personal use.

For the most part, I usually rarely ever have issues with the hotel staff or changing rooms. I’ve seen difficult customers in public, I’m not one of them. I’m quicker to walk away from a situation or just avoid it all together. My past several nights of hotel stats have been pleasant, the situation I described was last month, and was just an example of the potential inconveniences that are caused with early check in times. But even being nice and courteous still doesn’t guarantee much later than 12 or 1 p.m. checkout. I’ve tried it before. The Indian clerks don’t care, they’ll give me 30 extra minutes to checkout, and consider that to be generous. The only time I’ll get personal, is I feel someone seems to be disregarding my loyalty status. Because they should acknowledge that loyalty. In the original situation, I was treated like some bum off the street (and in that area of town, I noticed some of the guests were kinda sketchy even for a business level hotel)…Not a Diamond member from out of state who was feeling ill the day before. THAT, is the difference.

Yeah but those same places want to charge Hilton rates. The econo lodge I referred to is actually a pretty nice one I stay each time I go to that city. Clean, 5 star reviews. Not all of them are run down. I book the suite, which is the highest cost room in the hotel. It’s about the same rate as a Hampton inn. So getting mushrooms or meat on an omelette isn’t likely to break the bank. Anyway, I’m over this topic now. I’m tired of every time I discuss or say something I have to explain myself further. Then you come along and always have a rebuttal. There’s a difference between having advice, and just being disagreeable. Going forward I’ll just be sure to request 2 hour later checkout on every reservation. Problem solved.

Get outta here, don’t start it. If you want to come here just to talk shit, there’s other topics you can read. No need for you to come here and try to further make disparaging statements to undermine the discussion. I didn’t ask you to come here if you don’t like the topic. And what you said long time ago is irrelevant because I’m still here, clients still booking me and leaving good reviews. Tell me something new 🤷🏾‍♂️ I haven’t, but 3rd party apps don’t necessarily build the loyalty that has been discussed. However it is good for late night, after midnight check ins at times. I try to use all the apps, but mainly just stick to a couple I know. Priceline is my go to but, I’m just becoming less inclined to click BOOK and then be unable to change or cancel the reservation. I mainly do it when I’m in an area where the higher star hotels are available for a better price on PL then my usual discount rates.

Again, let’s not take something out of context and turn it into a new discussion about immigration. You can make a new thread if you wish, but considering it’s political it might be closed 🙂 By cheap, I don’t mean Indians themselves (I have had a few such clients myself). I refer to it as it relates to the HOTEL industry. And yes, most times I deal with Indian front desk clerks, they always come off wanting to give me the least they can during my stay. For example I stayed at one hotel in a small historic town that had cheese omelets 🍳 made fresh. Great right? But it was ONLY cheese omelets, nothing else. When I asked if there was an additional topping I could add, the Indian guy was like, “this is econo lodge, not Hampton inn” 😮 Like geez… Its that type of attitude, I refer to.

And here’s another thing I found about the hotel chain I book thru: they say on here we can request 2 extra hours late checkout as Diamond member. When I stayed in Memphis last week for one night, their checkout time was 11 a.m. and I even asked the night before AND the morning of for a later checkout…he only wanted to give me 11:30 a.m. 🤦🏾‍♂️ I had just barely squeezed in time to do laundry the night before, so I have clothes unpacked or set out to finish drying. That’s what I’m saying, many of these hotels don’t honor the loyalty programs perks. They’re run by cheap Indians with bad customer service (not intending to be racist but, it’s often encountered). Then they want us to be up at 9 a.m. for some lousy breakfast that wasn’t even worth waking up for in the first place.

Well you should have said THEIR operating model doesn’t work for mine. The way you originally said, put mine down in favor of theirs. That’s what it sounded like. You’re saying it differently now but, that could have been stated previously instead of backtracking to make it sound more agreeable. Sounded like you were trying to put me down, bro 🤷🏾‍♂️ You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know. I DO stick to one hotel chain. That’s the whole point of this thread 🤦🏾‍♂️ . I’m a Diamond member with one particular chain, yet majority of the time they hardly ever honor the late checkout privilege. I usually always have to ask, but it should be automatic. They see when I check in that I’m a Diamond member. I also have marriott and Hilton apps, because I do admire their properties and I think I’m a silver member with Marriott. But again, as has been mentioned: lot of their hotels are DOUBLE sometimes TRIPLE the price of the chain I normally go thru which I have Diamond status with. For example in nashville with the chain I normally book with: Now here’s Marriott prices: Thats Marriott app. My budget for hotels is usually always $100 or less, and I usually get nice rooms. If not trying to spend my entire rate on a hotel room, but I’m also not trying to overwork myself by taking multiple clients per day, when sometimes I’m traveling for 1 or 2 weeks at a time. But it doesn’t matter what chain it is, 12 pm still pretty standard checkout. The 4 p.m. thing I can almost be certain has to be requested and will be given at the hotel’s discretion. If there’s any kind of event going on in town, I can bet it will not be honored. Also something I didn’t mention about Marriott that I have often noticed: their TVs are often rigged to disable plug in of input ports. Meaning I can’t always play my own videos/movies that I like to bring to appointments or my personal use. I experienced that last month staying at courtyard Marriott. I was able to connect my player, and it would show on the screen but then, the volume was raised to 100 on the TV with no way to turn it down because the remote was rigged to the cable box (and I’ve also found out a way to get around that too, but they had the cable box behind a little “gate” on the wall 🤦🏾‍♂️ Also @marylander1940 if you think it’s so easy for me to afford 50 nights at Marriott properties, just send me your credit card and I’ll be using it to book it each time I need a room. Just keep in mind, most Marriott and Hiltons ALWAYAS require an extra deposit of $50-$250 (Residence Inn Denver last year: wanted to charge me an extra $250 deposit for one night in their penthouse suite I booked. I declined and just stuck with the regular 1 room suite which was $150 deposit) on top of the room (I usually have it waived at the cheaper brand of hotels I use). And then once I reach Diamond member status, I’ll send it back. Deal? 😂

Amen 💯 1,000% actually. If I could give more than 1 reaction, I would 👏🏽 🏆 I see a lot of this “holier than thou” stuff on social media (aka Facebook) a lot. The same guys doing heavy drugs and sleeping around doing bareback parties outside of their marriage, are telling other dudes why they’re single. Hmm 🤔 you don’t say? (Not judging or criticizing anyone who does, but just an example). I really didn’t expect a thread about hotel checkout times to turn into a whole argument. People are quick to make answers without even getting the full facts. For example: many thought I was yelling at the MAIDS. No, I wasn’t yelling at the maids. I wasn’t yelling at all. I simply had a stern conversation with the desk clerk, who thought she had a reason to come to my room and confront me. And I’ll tell @Jamie21 again: I was not expecting to change the world in any shape or form. I just simply implied that having to DAILY checkout of a hotel at 11 or 12 noon when visiting cities (except the days I have the room for more than one night) is an inconvenience. And someone who doesn’t travel, or only stays in hotels once a year for the Palm Springs event: wouldn’t know how it is to have to check out of hotels everyday at noon when sometimes, you really have a need for 3 or 4 p.m. I highly doubt hotels would go out of business with that model. I even spoke to a member on the forum who works at hotels, and he says the only time they really don’t allow late checkout is when there is a football game in town. But MOST of the time, these hotels have the rooms available, nobody is checking in after me: they just only concerned about their bottom line. Imagine if an escort was like: your hour is over, on the dot. Stop, get out. Or better yet, 50 minutes into the hour so you only have 10 minutes to get ready and get out. I wonder how people would feel about that, when the tables are turned 🤔

and here’s someone on another website saying the same exact thing: Why Hotel Check-Out Times May Become a Thing of the Past | Condé Nast Traveler WWW.CNTRAVELER.COM Some hotels are getting rid of traditional check-in and -out times to cater to a new kind of traveler.

And let me say something else: it’s not just about checkout times: there’s many times clients want to request 12-1-2 pm meets. I generally have to decline those because I tell them, I can’t check into a hotel that early. And I mainly only host by appointment only. I’m not booking a room for two or 3 nights and waiting around for guys to show up. I book usually only 1 night at a time. IF the original client(s) shows up, and there’s other clients the following day, only then will I reserve another night. So the people who are trying to debate with me about checkout times: open your mind a bit, it extends beyond that. Think about how many escorts and clients may be inconvenienced because they can’t check in until 3 or 4 p.m. And like I said, no matter what request you make: if the rooms aren’t ready, the client is going to be waiting outside, in the lobby, or taking the escort to lunch at hooters (true story) until the rooms are ready. So @Km411 next time a client asks me to host a 1:00 p.m. appointment, I’m going to send them a screenshot of the hotel check in times, and say: “I can’t, I have to comply with the hotel policy”. You can’t come until 3. “Oh I can’t because…” I don’t care, it’s hotel policy ☝ Oh, you thought I was hosting at home? Can YOU host at home? No? Okay then…don’t assume. I may be traveling or have roommates/company, etc etc.

Okay well, if the hotel policy is more important than the guest’s requirements: What if I started just telling clients: I can’t host at hotels anymore, they’ll have to arrange that? Then what? I wonder how many people would be quick to make assertions. Because if someone isn’t regularly hosting at hotels, they don’t have any business trying to pull the moral code card like a couple other posters have. And I’m not talking about someone who’s just an occasional traveler. If someone hasn’t experienced it on a DAILY basis: checking in/out of hotels EVERY WEEK for 2 and 3 weeks straight while traveling: Shut up 🤫 Because in the original situation: I could have stayed at the place I already had for free, but I got a hotel for the main purpose of taking the appointment. Even though I upgraded to the better room, in most cases I’m still doing so for the appointments. So I’m going out of my way to be inconvenienced: spending money to book a room, and having to leave at a time that may not suit me. But like I said, if people feel I’m sooooooooo in the wrong for not liking 11 and 12 pm checkout times: Maybe I’ll just make sure my clients host or book the hotels instead, and they can deal with it. Period. I’m in a city now that I’ve had 4 clients last week: they all hosted. I only booked a hotel for 3 days for my own personal comfort, but I didn’t host clients in any. Just goes to show though, some cities obligate the providers to always host to get business, where others tend to be more willing to host instead.

First of all you spelled my name wrong… 2nd: you have a habit of berating me. You’d be the last person I’d take advice from. 3rd don’t tell me how “normal” people behave. If you choose to take an adversarial approach and response to everything I say, that’s on you. But don’t try to denigrate my message just because you have a personal dislike for what I discuss. 4th: stop talking to me, please ✌️

I never said I didn’t request it. Never said that. I always request it, but often times I get told at check in: I have to request it in the morning, which sometimes doesn’t get relayed timely. And it wasn’t the MAIDS, it was the lady who checks in guests from the front desk who I called out. All she had to do was call (which I did call prior to checkout time but the phone just rang off the hook). She didn’t have to come up to my room all hostile trying to engage in confrontation

So men who go there with their wives aren’t having sex? Explain that to me 🤔 You’re sounding like a real prude. Let me see you go to a hotel the day after New Year’s Eve, hungover and having to checkout at noon (which for that reason I stayed at a friend’s place this past one, and declined an invite to go to a potential hookup’s hotel room).

Here we go again with you only reading and writing what you want to use against me, and not getting the full point. Guests who are upper tier members generally get a minimum automatic EXTRA hour check out past the time of the standard checkout of the hotel with the chain I’m with. I’ve been told this before. But being some of the hotels are individually managed, and some places only want to hire 2 maids for the whole hotel: they often don’t acknowledge that privilege, and often have to be reminded (usually by me) that I’m requesting DIAMOND MEMBER checkout time. If the bitch would have picked up the phone when I called down the first time, she wouldn’t have needed to come up to my room in the first place. She went beyond her call of duty, and confronted a guest unprofessionally.

How are you going to tell me my operating model doesn’t work, but then say you don’t travel so aren’t going to offer any ideas? You might as well have just said that one line, and left it there. Because if you don’t travel often, then you wouldn’t know 🤷🏾‍♂️ But I find it cute that you have to use a broad term and imply I’m expecting the WHOLE WORLD to change for me, when all I’m discussing is how hotel checkout times don’t offer much in the way of flexibility. How is that changing the whole world? I think some of you just find ways to be disagreeable with me, just for the sake of not wanting me to say anything that I find inconveniencing. I already know for a fact it would make business easier if checkout time was later than 11 or 12. Many clients try to book around noon/1 p.m. I’m not going to book two nights room just to accommodate 1 booking. And as a matter of fact: I did book 2 nights hotel for one (pre-booked) booking last month. I asked him for $200 deposit and then I checked in the night before and stayed until the day after the next. In that case, it made sense to do. But in the case of the original story: I had no other bookings planned for that day and had a place to stay. It would have been a waste of money to rebook a 2nd night just to have an extra 15 minutes to checkout.

Exactly, not to mention: you REALLY have to have excellent credit for those cards. Which means, having lotta money to pay debts. But when a certain segment of clients in some cities make fake appointments, give the run around, repeatedly book and cancel visits or don’t respond when asking them when is a good time to meet: I have to stay within my means. I already had 2 credit card bills due this week. If I didn’t leave the “figurative” Sodom and Gomorrah (aka Kansas City and St. Louis), I probably would have been broke and unable to pay it, dealing with the bullshit I been dealing with there, all last year. That said, I was curious and looked up what my credit card company offers for such travel perks. It’s only a $395 annual fee. But I’m not going to apply because the loyalty program tends to apply to a lot of the higher end hotels. Best reserved for celebs, corporate travelers and/or dual income couples 😂 Capital One's Premier Collection offers cardholders luxury hotel perks like free breakfast, room upgrades and more WWW.CNBC.COM Capital One Travel's new Premier Collection offers premium cardholders elite-like benefits at luxury hotels and... I disagree with that comparison 100%. Again: I’m a Diamond member so according to the rules: a late checkout and complimentary room upgrade should be standard. So, she should have had the courtesy to acknowledge that, not treat me like a bum off the street overstaying in a room. I bet if it was an older White man or woman guest, she would have not approached it that way. But considering she was a Black woman, she thought she could get away with talking down towards me. Plus I was having a medical issue and needed the extra time. That’s the thing: she came guns blazing before even inquiring on what the matter was. At that point she was like all surprised, but she still got fire back because: who is she to be talking to a guest like that? There’s nothing about that which is “right” nor company policy. The point of this topic isn’t whose side you side with. You’re turning a general topic into a personal opinion about right and wrong. I wasn’t looking for that. But that said: I checked that room’s availability because I almost booked an extra night (it was a large jacuzzi suite with separate rooms), and it was a MONDAY and nobody was booking that room. In fact throughout the week it’s consistently not booked until the weekend. So there was nobody waiting to check in. And they could never slap an extra fee on my card because: any time I go to a hotel I never leave more than the cost of the hotel on the card. I’ve had times people have messed up and charged my card 2 and 3 times when checking in. So she could not try that on me 😂 Whether drama or no drama: The 10-11-12 p.m. checkout still leaves me inconvenienced. It’s not about selfish, it’s about having a preference to have more time to allow possibilities or the option to stay longer, not be hurried 🧹out onto the street before I can even make a decision. I can bet hotels would make more money if they played fairly, and gave people until 3 to 5 pm to checkout. One hotel in Denver used to allow 6 p.m. for extra $25, but it was kinda worn (Ramada). During Covid, they demolished it. Not sure if it was because of that or general gentrification growing in the area.

Yeah I’d love to start using credit cards more for hotels but, my credit has been impacted by lack of bookings in my home state. Exactly the reason I been traveling so much dealing with hotels in the first place. All in effort trying to recoup and be in cities where I’m actually appreciated. Likely not opening up anymore credit this year until I pay up the current. But yeah Hilton and Marriott is just more expensive across the board. I have the Hilton, Marriott, Choice/Radisson and Wyndham Apps, so I can quickly check all the prices. I’m in a hotel room now, that would have been DOUBLE the price if I stayed in an equivalent Hilton in the same area. And like I’ve mentioned before, I don’t have the inclination to take 3-4 clients a day to make up for it. I try to keep my hotel costs as best as possible for the largest room type. And I usually stay in suites/separate bedrooms. Well just because something has been going on for decades, doesn’t mean it fits into everyone’s circumstances lol. Not everybody is an up first thing and go schedule. People who are traveling for fun or a company may can control that, but someone like myself who often has to make decisions based on when other people are available: aren’t. Like @azdr0710 said: yeah it’s not the hotel’s fault that I don’t like to checkout in the middle of the day, but it’s also not my fault that some people can only meet around 12-1-2 pm: the exact dead zone times where it’s too late to checkout and too early to check in most times. Even the places who claim you can do that: I’ve gone to hotels and no rooms are ready. Clients have had to wait in the lobby until a room is available, etc. so nowadays I simply discourage clients from trying to book me between 11 am and 3 p.m. when I’m traveling and hosting: unless I have booked the room for 2 consecutive nights like I did last month. But I never book 3-4-5 nights at once anymore these days. In all my travel experience, I usually need about 5 to 6 p.m. to know for sure whether to stay or go. Like today, I had a client reach out at 4 p.m. to book a session for the evening. And yes, I do have loyalty membership as I mentioned above: but it still don’t matter. I still find the latest checkout is usually 1 pm. Or 4 p.m. if you buy the “late checkout package” for an extra fee: but when I ask some clients for an extra fee, they don’t always like it so….why should I be wanting to pay extra if I can’t be sure I’m going to get paid extra 🤷🏾‍♂️ The ONLY places I know that actually lives up to the “pick your check out time” are the bath houses and sex clubs. But of course they only give you 6-8 hours usage. And anybody who shows up has to also pay. But other than that, if hotels had round the clock maid service or at the very least: maids who stay until 5 pm: it would make a difference. I think the true reason for check in/out times is to accommodate the housekeepers schedules. Someone mentioned this before: they have to clean in the morning and early afternoon, so they can tend to their kids or 2nd job in the afternoons and evenings. I emphasize with that, but that puts the guests in position to be inconvenienced or: spend more. And I’ve had times where hotel stays have wiped out earnings on a trip, if I encountered a period of no bookings for a few days. So I’m never eager to book 2 consecutive nights unless I know I either have clients each day or, make enough on 1 day to offset the extra night (because some nights I do just need a day off, even if I’m paying for a hotel).

I know that’s the best way to win/win time wise, but that’s just not financially feasible to do for every hotel stay. For example: this week I went to Memphis and had a hotel for 1 night. There was only one Pre-planned booking. I had another client requesting a noon booking the day before, but as checkout time was nearing: I hadn’t heard from him. This particular hotel was only giving me until 11:30 a.m. as a LATE checkout that’s normally 11 a.m. I even asked if I could pay extra for a later checkout, and the front desk guy from India is all like NOPE, we don’t do that. Even though the night before, the guy who checked me in, said to call in the morning and ask 🤦🏾‍♂️ I was hoping to stay in the room, but usually if I have no clients notifying me of a booking by 11 (and ideally the night before): I plan to check out. I usually can’t pay for 2 nights unless I know I’m having bookings, as that will be coming directly out of my sessions. I’ve done that at times before, and it’s a gamble if anyone shows up. Like last year; I booked 2 nights in Reno on my drive from San Fran to Denver. Nobody showed up 🤷🏾‍♂️ then I ended up missing a client in the next city in the process. Now today, I was fortunate: I stayed at the same hotel a client booked for me yesterday (I’m glad there are clients out there who book rooms for escorts…and in the ape shit scenario above, I’d only do that if I booked the room myself, FYI @azdr0710 and @BuffaloKyle lol 😝). I was too tired from a group session last night to check out, and since it’s Friday: I figured there was a likelihood that I’d get a client. So instead of staying at friend’s place, I re-booked the hotel under my loyalty account and ended up having a booking. Granted it was an outcall so technically I didn’t need the room: but for the sake of being available for calls instead of ditching my friend last minute for a booking, I did.

lol I know I was going to catch flack about the ape shit comment, so I figure I best to elaborate on that. I exaggerated on that part. If anything she was the one going ape shit, I was more or less professional but: as I was checking out, I addressed her rather directly but: let’s just say not in my normal “smooth tone” voice some people say I have. I was returning the same energy she came at with me with. Normally, I would call the hotel chain customer service and file a formal complaint: but I had one hotel tell me they are basically charged $165 for each complaint that is made. I like the hotel, as I’ve stayed before: I just don’t like that particular woman there. And one time I stayed, she accused me of taking a shower in a room I looked at for nothing but 30 seconds, and asked to change. I said, “actually that used bath rug was already on the floor, that’s why I didn’t want that room 🤦🏾‍♂️ ”. In fact, I told her SHE was being very unprofessional. What she did, was basically knock on the room door, yelling “guest services!” and told me, “it’s after 12, I need you to pack your stuff and get out”. Ummm, excuse me? First of all: she could have called the hotel phone to let me know it was checkout time. 2nd, I called the front desk myself first and the phone just rang several times. But for her to come all the way to my room and confront me, was way out of line. Then she has the audacity to say, “I’m not paying my housekeeper to wait outside your room”. Excuse me??? As if I didn’t just pay over $120 for the room myself? All this while I was struggling to pack up with the way I was feeling. So @azdr0710 how is that selfish? I think you’re being biased. That is why she got the wrong side of me. I went down, handed her my key and said: “Before you come barging into my room: you need to get your facts straight, because I called prior to check out time to request more time to checkout, and nobody picked up the phone. what is your name? Because I’m going to be calling customer service”. And she continued arguing with me, being totally unprofessional herself. She lucky I haven’t called the customer service line, but I have up to 30 days so I just might. I know I could get reimbursed with a free night, but with the state of health I was in, she unintentionally got it from me personally. I didn’t keep the room a 2nd night because a former client of mine lets me stay in the 2nd floor of his house when I visit that area. But he lives in a rural town, and to host a client I need to drive to the city and get a hotel. One of the days, I booked a room and left after the session because I didn’t feel like dealing with checkout nonsense.
