How do you behave at a hotel?

Answer

Whether it's a high end hotel or a moderate hotel you must be aware there are other guests to consider. There is generally a porter that will take your luggage up to your room. In this case when he leaves the room give him a tip. If the desk clerk doesn't signal for such a service then you have to take your own luggage up to your room.

• No wild parties in your room.
• If you break it, you pay for it. Leave the room in good condition.
• Know how much to tip any service you may receive.
• The wet bar is not free!
• Don't leave valuables in your room. If you have expensive items then ask Management at the desk to put it in their safe and this goes for business papers.
• Be kind to maid service. Be sure you clean out the hair in the sink and hang up bath towels over the rim of the shower rod. Maids do clean up, but why should anyone have to look at human hair in the sink as well as gobs of toothpaste.
• Some hotels ask for gratuities (tips) up front, while others don't. Maids or any other service should be left a tip.
