12 Hotel Tips From The Pros You Need To Know Before Your Next Stay

8. “If you like big bathrooms, ask for a handicap accessible room with a ’roll in shower’, normally about twice the size of a standard bathroom, but without the tub.”

9. “Housekeepers only change the sheets, not the coverlet or the second blanket, unless it’s been stained, and we’re unable to hide it.

10. “I worked the night shift at a hotel and had to prepare breakfast. I will never eat scrambled eggs at a hotel again, unless I see the cook actually breaking the eggs.

It’s disgusting how much food can just be bought en masse and prepared in under 5 minutes. Ready-to-cook egg mix. Just pour it into a pan and heat the ooze up… 5 minutes later: scrambled ’eggs’. Doesn’t taste good at all.”

11. “If you don’t like your room, ask for the manager after the first night and kindly state that you felt an itching in the night, and you think that something bit you. After investigation, you found an approximately 1.5 cm long black bug on your sheets. Tell them that that might have been a ’bedbug’.

Just whisper that word, so no other guest hears it. Say that if they find a different room for you, you don’t need to include this detail in your trip advisor review. If you were friendly and polite — free upgrades to suites this time and the next times.”

12. “Ask the hotel to remove such fees as Wi-Fi, newspaper, gym and pool. These are often included, but they will remove if requested.”
