Hotel Check-In: Say These 3 Sentences to the Front Desk for Instant Perks!
When checking into a hotel, just saying these three simple sentences to the front desk staff can help you enjoy better service and special perks. Don’t miss out on this small but surprisingly effective tip!
As the economy grows and living standards rise, more people are opting for travel or need hotel stays during holidays or business trips. When checking in, saying just three key phrases can help you get better service and even attractive upgrades.
1. "I’d prefer not to stay in a room at the end of the hallway."
Hotel staff often assign rooms from the outside in, leaving the ones at the end of the hall for last. These rooms are less frequently chosen, meaning they may not be cleaned as thoroughly or regularly, which can leave them feeling cold, isolated, or less hygienic.
Also, rooms at the end of hallways are usually far from emergency exits, which could be risky during emergencies like fires or earthquakes.
2. "I’d prefer not to stay in a room with too many corners or odd angles."
Rooms with irregular shapes or too many corners tend to have awkward layouts or poor design, which can affect both comfort and feng shui. These rooms may feel cramped or unsettling, making it harder to relax. Asking the staff to avoid these kinds of rooms can make a big difference in your stay.
3. "I’d prefer not to stay near the elevator."
Rooms next to elevators are often noisy due to the constant foot traffic, especially late at night. Elevator sounds and noisy guests—especially those returning from late-night outings—can easily disturb your sleep.
So for a more peaceful stay, request a room away from the elevators to ensure a quieter, more relaxing experience.
