  • That mysterious, non-existant backroom

    This just happened:

    Guest checks into room at 3:30am. 10 minutes later guests son, asks for extra blankets and pillows. I check, but I am all out.

    Not 5 minutes later, the guest comes down, pretty much demanding I provide extra pillows and blankets. I, once again, inform her we are all out.

    She can't seem to comprehend that hotels do not have an infinite supply of extras, and when we run out, we are out. She asks "Is there a manager I can talk to." I tell her there isn't one available at this time of night. She then asks for the corporate number (which I give).

    Seriously, we are OUT at the desk. That means they have all been taken. Considering that we can start checking people in at 3PM, we have had more than 12 HOURS, at this point, to run out of supplies.

    Sheesh,

            When I discover we've run out of pillows, I usually word it like "looks like we've lent all our pillows out." So far I haven't gotten any complaints.

              Update:

              I didn't mention it earlier, but I was suspicious almost immediately after she had left the desk area.

              1) They were in a room with 2 Double beds (4 pillows, 2 blankets on beds).
              2) There were 2 adults and 1 child registered to the room.
              3) This is June.

              So why did they need 2 extra pillows, and 2 extra BLANKETS?

              So when my manager dealt with them this morning and found out that there were more people in the room than were registered (with the guest claiming that they had booked the room (online) for more people), I was not surprised.

              She also complained at that time (around 8:30am) that the room smelled of smoke. No mention of this the night before.

              She decided to take her business elsewhere.

              The magic elves union doesn't permit them to work after 1700 hours.

                Ah yes, the magic backroom. Kinda like the wardrobe that leads into Narnia, it's infinate.
