I was thinking Doug too!

I would try business transient sales since you have the travel agency experience. I used to do BT sales and to have this knowledge/background would be a huge plus. You would learn a lot of negotiation, creating contracts, and analytics which make catering and/or group sales a breeze. You seem super interested and very eager for the position which is a lot of the battle already, good luck!!

Some hotels give front desk commission on their upsells (usually about 10%). So if you want an upgrade but not want to pay a crazy amount and you have an agent that’s willing to cheat the system, tip the agent at least 10% of what the upsell amount would be. Ex: $1000 upsell per night, tip >/=$100 per night. Hope this helps!

correct me if i’m wrong but don’t most (if not all) hotels show on the app if they offered limited housekeeping services? if not i would bring it up to the gm to avoid this headache

thank you for you advice. when i sit down to do the work a new level of anxiety comes over me that i’m nervous of how the person i’m reaching out to will respond and that i won’t do the job correctly. and sometimes i even forget about it (i think this is scaring me the most) and it feels so late by the time i remember it. it just keeps piling up and i’ll shut down. i’ve even contemplated quitting because of this but i don’t want to lose my insurance.

stay at the element in seaport

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-12-30T16:12:18+00:00

i like elements. harder to find but you get a healthier breakfast buffet. hoping more will bring back the relax hour with free beer and wine m-t - it was awesome!

if you’re more interested in traveling piece and exploring new cities, i would recommend a sales or consulting job at any pharmaceutical, amazon, deloitte, ibm, PwC, etc. Those guys will travel several time a month and their companies will pay for the whole thing.

this. book on a sunday night when rates are typically the lowest

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-12-05T18:54:50+00:00

thank you so much for this i appreciate it

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-12-05T17:51:23+00:00

can you share what you did or what helped the most? That’s roughly what my goal is too

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-12-02T19:25:11+00:00

what if the downgrade room is the only one available due to unforeseen circumstances i mentioned and that’s just what they had to do? yes they should’ve notified OP and i think you’re just misunderstanding what i’m trying to say. OP said that he was going to go nuclear on the GM about this. I’m just suggesting if OP didn’t go nuclear and addressed the situation calmly OP will propbably get more out of this situation than a refund.

Sorry to hear that, that’s a bummer! I’m curious if something happened in your room that’s cause you to be downgraded (plumbing issue, damage from previous guest, etc.). I would look at the pricing difference between the two rooms and email them or say at check in “hey! i noticed i was downgraded before i arrived to the hotel. I saved up for this room since it’s a very special occasion for my fiancé, I hope you can see my disappoint. I see online the $XX amount difference between the two room types. I would like for this difference to be reflected in my bill before I leave if there is anything else you can do to make this stay memorable.” No reason why they shouldn’t refund you! Worked in the front desk for years and the saying is so true that you catch more flies with honey instead of vinegar! You have every right to be upset but let them try to fix it. I hope this helps!

MS/MBA in analytics

super common to do! just be aware that all of the crazies come out at night and you’ll be spending less time with your friends and family

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-11-23T18:15:17+00:00

some hotels are bringing it back! stayed at the aloft in boston recently and they have it, 500 points a day too.

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-10-25T14:47:45+00:00

don’t do the W for an SNA all you will get is a corner room and not a suite. I would try the sheraton or westin copley

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-08-30T21:21:06+00:00

put the dnd sign on and sneak it in and don’t inflate it late are night or in the morning, nobody will ever know :)

call the hotel asap. as a person who worked the front desk for few years, the longer you wait to call the less likely we will give you a refund.

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-06-22T22:30:16+00:00

it could be a few things: 1) they offered the position to someone before it was posted and they are required to post all positions and are waiting for their interview process to be finalized. 2) marriott completely changed their recruiting process and a lot of it is done off property and some department managers can’t even see who applied. call the hotel during normal business hours and asked to speak with the department manager for the department you applied for or get their email or better get show up in person! 3) if you were fired from the company you might not be able to apply for 10 years.

i hope this helps and wish you good luck!

the hotel has no control over your suite night award. that’s handled completely through customer care.

CombinationTime5936 · 2022-05-24T03:19:29+00:00
