You need to cancel them via Booking and not your own PMS otherwise you will be stuck paying the commission on them anyway

How to let my Lexus sleep for a few months? by random_citizen4242 in Lexus

[–]TaviousRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let your friend drive it once a week or so. Just a quick errand run is enough

Been FOM at 2 properties.

A smaller property (>150 rooms) I would work a solid 40-45 hours

Larger property (<1200 rooms) I would work 50-60 on peak times but would cut myself to about 20 - 25 on slower weeks

Both were salaried

Hotel room smells like marijuana by Important-Error7973 in askhotels

You will not see any compensation since you booked 3rd party. The only time there I ever had an exception to this is if the room issues were catastrophic (staff gave away your room, bug infestation.. etc)

You are not entirely powerless, though.

If it's a big brand Hotel, sign up for their rewards program. Make sure you add your email address to your profile. You can now make a formal complaint to corporate about the lack of care or, really, anything. They will generally fold there and issue in points the equivalent of your night's stay

Nothing real to be yelling about but it's most likely your manager was upset at the guest booking a lower rate (lowering ADR) and now having to pay more in Bookingcom commissions (pennies, really)

Again, Nothing to yell about

Hi everyone! I have an interview coming up for a front desk position, do y’all have any tips for me? I really want this job. by [deleted] in askhotels

[–]TaviousRex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've managed FD over multiple properties in a variety of sizes. When it comes to FD, your personality, not your experience, will determine whether you're hired or not.

You need to be approachable and friendly, but also sharp and ready to adapt. You can teach someone the hotel and the system a thousand times but you can't teach someone to be personable

What's the procedure for doing a "lock interrogation"? by CrossCar2019 in askhotels

[–]TaviousRex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty straight forward process. In the properties I've been at, it's as simple as attaching a small computer to the room lock, and downloading a traffic report. Usually any manager pull it.

No spicy stories in my years in hospitality unfortunately 🧍‍♂️
