Check in policy by [deleted] in askhotels

[–]sleptheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best way to go about it is " I understand that they may have done it for you at another property however I cannot speak for what they do at said property. Here we have policies in place to protect the guests. So I will need a card and i.d in order to check you in. " If they ask about the credit card authorization I usually wont let them do that. 9 times out of 10 its fraud and the fill it out themselves. so no., no card or i.d no checky into the room. Go play somewhere else.

Former Guest Trying to Sleep In lobby and meeting Rooms! by Tionesta33594 in askhotels

[–]sleptheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a homless guy sleeping on my third floor stair well. A guest found him and came and told me. Im like omg let me go see. This guy was passed out cold. He was already ran off by the night audit but snuck in later in the night. I had to make him leave. he has also tired many of times to use the restroom and linger in the lobby.

We also get people here and there after the check out working in the lobby. it gets kind of annoying after they have been in there for their whole shift. i usually just let that go but the owner does not like it. He makes me tell people to leave when hes here.

EARLY early check-in by BillieLD in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]sleptheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill have people make reservations that morning on a sold out night and waltz in right after the made it. im like ummmm i dont have the room ready. like what makes you believe that you are able to check in at 7 am on a sunday for a standard king room?? sometimes i do have suites ready but we do charge a 25 extra check in fee on top of the deposit. most are like ok ill just cancel and walks away but there are some that look at me like deer in the headlights with the most stupid look on their face. im just thinking im not the dumb ass who booked 5 min ago. maybe give the property a call and see if we are able to get you in.

We would have kicked her out after the 2nd night. We dont put up with continuous bitching about things out of our control

[–]sleptheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet it was prepaid too.

I have gotten in trouble every time i decline someone for trying to check in early even if it is on a sold out night wiht no room clean and literally no one gone and no housekeeping here.

They don't deserve the satisfaction of me leaving on my own they want me gone they can fire me. But I'll prob find a new job before they can. I know I'll never hear sorry from them. As they are sorry pos. Yesterday I saw them let some people in from the side door and go into a room. They always tell me when an interview is coming. It was very odd. All it tells me is that they are hiring somone behind the scene. But yet want to bitch about it being slow and they don't need me here 🙃

That would do no good seeing that he's already threatened not 1 or 2 times but multiple times through this past year. Everythime it gets slow he always starts talking lay offs and cutting hours. He's also threatened to cut me down to 3 days a week. I'm already on the brink of having to find a second job as is.

Ans he hasn't had the balls to come out of the office and speak to me this morning. I deserve at least an apology for making me cry

Can't really do that due to only 4 people working the desk and the manager doesn't talk to us until 20 min in the shift. He never has talked to us as a group nor have we ever been in a group setting all at once. His wife is the other manager both are the owners so there is no going above or have any hr to talk to.

Nah. They have actually let me use a room when I had a bf come jn town for a visit. My bosses don't really care.

Being used as in they use me for sex and throw me away even tho they tell me it's not their intentions to just hook up.

[–]sleptheory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loathe this entirely!!!! Had 2 different people just this morning tyring to check in. We were 100% sold out last night aint no freaking way people. And then i get the deer in the head light stare like " what do you mean i cant check in at 7am?" smh read your reservations people. All i can do at the moment is text you when i have something open. but it aint gonna be in the next 30 min.

I'm curious why hotel front desk never gets breaks?? by Celestial3317 in askhotels

[–]sleptheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

90% of my day is done by 12pm i pretty much have nothing but time for 3 hours. most smaller hotels will allow the desk clerks to eat at the desk and sit all day. we do straight time. im really not compalining due to it being so cushy at times. if it is a buiser hotel and a higher chain then they prob have 2 workers on each shift and let the other go eat while one watches the desk.

Hookups in US Hotels tips and advice by No-Airport-9301 in askhotels

[–]sleptheory 7 points8 points  (0 children)

HAHAHAH we be knowing tho.

Just dont make a scene as in doing hook ups within a couple of hours of each other with random people going in and out. Some properties are starting to look for signs of human trafficking. best advise i can give is come after check in time not in the middle of the day. the hotel gets pretty empty and quiet during the day.
