F... Hotels

Getting charged for wi-fi really irks me

Getting charged for wi-fi really irks me

It is very annoying. I was in Kansas City for a conference, and the hotel I stayed in charged for Wi-Fi. For a few hours though, I was able to log in to the Wi-Fi network of another hotel that was across the street. :)

^great post

Tell them now to have housekeeping note it and if they do find it in the laundry as mredskins said, they'll be able to match it up to the lost-and-found log and contact you.

Check back in a week or two to see if it turned up.

Sounds like a plan. I figured after 3 days it'd be enough time.. But maybe not. Can't hurt to call again next week.

See, now don't F hotels, just F in them.

This.


Housekeepers always get blamed and it is ashamed. The majority I have meet and I have meet plenty are very honest. Most are not going to jeopardize their jobs for a say a t-shirt.

D-Rave a lot of times with clothes being left behind is they get caught up in the dirty laundry (bed sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc..). Once it is in that pile forget it all that gets picked up by house men and dragged to laundry. IF you are at a big or even decent size hotel you will literally see mountains of laundry that need to be sorted through. They will eventually come by your shirt but they will have no idea where it came from.

Once you leave your room and check out it is cleaned at a break neck speed to be ready for the next guest.

So just by meeting a housekeeper you can tell if they are honest. Your Good.

I place the blame squarely on D-Rave's inept packing, not the hotel.

No I worked with them. I worked for Marriott for over 10 years. Right out of college my management training was at the Marriott Marquis Times Square where I supervised a "floor" of housekeepers.

Doesn't it seem like the expensive hotels are the ones who charge for wi-fi?

Definitely. That's what burns me most about it.

Just because I left something behind doesn't mean it should be thrown away. If it's left it needs to be placed somewhere, because it obviously belongs to someone. If you leave your wallet or your credit card at the dinner table, does that give the waiter the right to use it?
