@chasingchryssie: I’ve been doing this simple action for years and it’s gotten me a room upgrade or some sort of free treat every single time. Take the time to either fill out the special requests part of your booking form, or even send an email to reception ahead of your stay and mention these three things: 1) We’re so excited to come and stay… 2) Explain why you’re excited (birthday, anniversary, first time you’ve been to the hotel) 3) Express that “anything the hotel can do to make our stay extra special or memorable would be very much appreciated If you find that the hotel does do something special for you, make sure you follow it up with a positive Google review and/or a thank you email to customer service - this sort of positivity can really come in handy if you’re a repeat visitor 🏨 #traveltips #hoteltips #hotelroom #traveltiktok #travel
Yes...haha. I always mention if it is a birthday or anniversary.

as a person who works at hotels don’t do it if it’s not true and also the more information you give us the more we can do things personalized to you also please do mention our names if we made a difference we get rewarded:)

I used to work at a hotel and staff LOVES getting heads up you’re celebrating something! I used to get all excited for check in for honeymooners and write them a little card and have champagne ready.

As a hotel receptionist... It only works for 4* and above and if you are not booking last minute.
Don't expect a 2* or 3* hotel to give the same kind of service

I recently treated my daughter to a weekend away for her 16th birthday and mentioned it in the requests box. They were amazing, making sure to leave her a special birthday treat and personalised note.

As a receptionist at a hotel I can say that it often depends on the mood we’re in or how busy it is overall. Not busy, super easy to move you around:)

As a former hotel receptionist, I can confirm this is not true, I ignore them on purpose. If it’s a special day, pay for something yourself to make it special. It’s not the hotels job to give you stuff for free

One time I asked if they could hide a picture of Danny Devito somewhere in the room and I didn’t expect to find a full A4 page laminated image of him behind the bathroom mirror 😭 5 stars for sure
