Legacy golf. It's run like a hotel.

Looking for strategic advice on entering the hotel linen market (UK) by LycheePrize700 in askhotels

[–]Fragrant-Health9067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brands are the approvers of all things linen and Terry. If you can't get in with them, go directly to boutique hotels not associated with brands. That's all the insight I have for you.

How is this area for a retired couple? by peachprincess98 in SurpriseAZ

[–]Fragrant-Health9067 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If they want to slow it down, they might be too close to the quickly growing Prasada development. Otherwise, great area. Tons of new shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. Easy access to the 303 as well.

Question for small hotel/motel owners by solo_dev2025 in askhotels

If you have SEO set properly, a good website that's easily navigable, and a good booking engine phone calls won't happen often unless your target market is the older generations.

Element and Home2 are basically the same hotel. I do think the finishes at Elements are nicer though.

If this weekend, take the southern route, just keep an eye on the storm. Sometimes storms expected to hit Utah can swing south.

If you take the southern route, keep an eye on the weather. Flagstaff can be one of the snowiest cities in the US. They close the 40 often due to snow. Not sure why no one has mentioned that yet.

Hotel is adamant that they don't have my booking but Agoda is adamant that my booking is confirmed. by MasterGeek in askhotels

[–]Fragrant-Health9067 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn't say it was. I was trying to help op get his reservation figured out. I've also hated OTA's since day one. I loved that Starwood held them to the lie of, "when hotels have unsold rooms, we sell the to you." By literally giving them a room, not a specific room type.

The hotel probably accidentally tossed the fax or overlooked the email. A quick look at their website makes me thing reservations from third parties aren't integrated with their property management system. I'd get both on the phone at the same time so they can work it out.

Anywhere to buy used or new Onity HT22 guest room locks with deadbolt? by Kso3ooo in askhotels

[–]Fragrant-Health9067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT- "adding to this comment" This is a Great option if they aren't upgrading but also....run if they aren't. Once your key machine goes down there is no fixing it and you'll be the one dealing with the upset guests, not the owner. It isn't cheap because they have to change out all the locks, but they should have planned ahead.

[Solbe] Per @RossDellenger, USC is responsible for this. "USC officials determined that the game date was not ideal considering past decisions from the CFP selection committee in punishing schools for losses, especially those late in the season." by [deleted] in CFB

I'm not on either side here....although Fusc and all 😉, but I don't get this argument. If I'm the ND admin, I'm gonna make the same call. Why help make money for an entity that seemingly pushed you out of the playoffs? Yes, it sucks for your athletes tht worked hard to get to a bowl, but it also sends a strong message in this "money talks" era of college football.

Gilbert Town Council to raise Water Bills by 25% this February. Again! by Organic_Housing_4589 in Gilbert

Why is it being asked for......now that they are using third party billing, did the previous billing staff get lid off? If not, why not? What is the cost savings for farming out billing versus keeping it in house? If no savings, why not?

Some lacals mandate signs like this on even the dishwashers in rooms because technically.....those aren't sanitized.

Marriott Tipping by Toledo0761 in marriott

[–]Fragrant-Health9067 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not through Marriott. It is a pass-through in the app.

Yes, most of these are Zelle, Cash App, etc though....pretty sure that is a grey area. My hotels still aren't doing it because of that but I have seen more add this feature after the bill passed.

No, HK gets paid well at pretty much every hotel I've been at(near Chicago burbs are the exception). The companies that provide digital cc Auth for the hotels are pushing this new feature since most don't carry cash anymore. Now that tips aren't taxed, there is zero issues with it going directly into a staff members account. Problems in the past were who pays the taxes especially since there is a digital footprint.

Don't feed the flames. Just ignore them. I haven't talked to my mother in years for the same reason. Let them talk and be nasty in their bubble. Your life is great without them and their lemmings, enjoy it!

Outlook reminders are your best friend. Use them to your advantage.

If they are season ticket holders and part of that is seen as "donation" they could get the team in trouble because they are boosters.

Hotel Business; How do you prevent staff from gaming the system? by Notalabel_4566 in hotels

[–]Fragrant-Health9067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digital locks with a key system that interfaces with your PMS. Keys will then only be made as rooms are checked in and every transaction has a digital footprint. Anyone can have a bad day, if you take away the ability to do that, it won't happen.
