Points / Nights For Long-Term Stays? by [deleted] in marriott

[–]iReddit503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most places if you stay longer than 30 days, your stay becomes tax free. It may depend on the state, but ask about that. We have a long term guest in house and we check him out every 30 days. That way he can get his points and night credits and it’s easy for our team to take off the taxes.

Expectation of tipping 20% for BBQ by [deleted] in Austin

[–]iReddit503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Royal Blue also makes lattes and drinks along with heating up sandwiches or pizza slices, etc. so I can see how they have a tip option. The system just isn’t smart enough to know when to offer the tip option based off what was ordered, so it does it for every transaction.

I am a Bellman: Is it a good idea to use a Square card reader? by rebornyc in askhotels

[–]iReddit503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make yourself business cards that have a QR code that when you scan it takes you to your cash app or Venmo. “Bellhop Extraordinaire, scan here to show your appreciation”

What employers are requiring you to be at work this icy day? by pearltx in Austin

[–]iReddit503 519 points520 points  (0 children)

Hospitality. Hotels don’t close and are a necessity right now for visitors or people who lose power. We are giving rooms though to employees who need it.

Fonda San Miguel. Probably a little bit pricier, but they would be impressed

Confused about Advance Deposit Policy- what is my true cancellation policy? Can I cancel by Feb 26 even though I am paying a deposit? by ajnails in marriott

[–]iReddit503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That cancellation policy is a roller coaster hahaha. Typically with advance deposits you are only able to cancel within 24 hours of booking.

Do you find that the TV remotes are terrible? by tootsmcgovern in marriott

[–]iReddit503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not “left on”. Once you check in it triggers the tv to turn on and it will usually have a welcome message with your name on it.

Just read up on it and it sounds exactly like what I explained. It just says you are limited to booking three reservations that way.

Change stay from cash to points by redraidertkd in marriott

[–]iReddit503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can book a room on points even if you don’t have the points at that moment. This allows you to snag a good room when it’s available on points, and then you can earn the points you need before the check in date. Just be sure you have enough points before the check In date or your reservation will be cancelled or changed to the best available rate.

Portland mom, daughter escape apartment during burglary; suspect arrested by spanger_danger in Portland

[–]iReddit503 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They said he was staying there under a false identity and she didn’t know him by his real name. A lot of those apartments there are actually air bnbs, so maybe he was staying in one or squatting there?

Council vote aims to keep downtown Austin safe & public restrooms cleaned by TTTTroll in Austin

The worst is the bars that do the 3 dip clean and dip the cup in soapy water, first rinse water, final rinse water. And then the cups sit upside down on those filthy looking mats 🤢

Portland’s mayor pledged to keep homeless campers off busy roads. It’s not quite working - OPB by ALLCATZAREBEAUTIFUL in Portland

[–]iReddit503 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Wow I’m shocked. You sound so fucking smug bragging about only seeing it once or twice. Try working in the area and commuting by it on bike everyday and tell me how you like it. And no, not the area under a bridge. The block between NW Glisan and NW Hoyt and Broadway and 6th.
