So another week has come to pass and I have a few SC stories to offer
I'm coming keep your clothes on
Simple story. The Guest wanted some towels, so I said I'd go to the Laundry and get them. I walked around the desk and told him to just go to his room, I'd bring them over in a minute. Literally a minute later, I knock on his door with my arms filled with towels. He opens the door in nothing but his boxer shorts.
I'm not saying I haven't encountered guests in various states of undress before, but he knew I was coming straight to his room. He was still waiting at the desk when I went into Laundry. Couldn't he have waited a few minutes before taking off his clothes?
Do you have vacancy?
Here is an odd called i received from another hotel.
Me= (Spiel) How can I help you?
Caller= Do you have any vacancies?
Me= Yes we have plenty of vacancies.
Caller= Oh, okay. This is Cottage Resort. We have a lot of vacancies too. So if you want, you can send our guests our way. Okay?
Me=
Uh..
Caller= great. Have a nice night. *hang up*
Now if he only called us, that's really random. But if he called all the hotels, he's desperate. It was just a weird call.
That room Number is too expensive
So a woman calls to book a room for her husband for the night. She asks for our rate, which I gave as $79 plus tax. She said it sounded good, but wanted to check other hotels. Twenty minutes later she calls back to book the room. I take all the important information and then tell her the room number.
Me=Alright so it will be 110.
Caller= I thought you said it was 79 dollars?
Me= Sorry about that. I mean room 110.
Caller= Why is the room 110? I thought it was 79. That's 31 dollars more expensive.
Me= Ma'am, your husbands hotel room is room number 110.
Caller= I can't believe that you....Number 110?
Me= yes
Caller= As in, he is in Room 110.
Me= yes Ma'am
Caller= Well why do I Need to know that? He has to come to the front desk to check in.
Me= Yes ma'am.
Caller= Alright then, so I didn't need to know his room number. Good night.
Me= Good night.
That's more than you're paying me
So this is a story that Kitten told me one day when we were hanging out after shift.
Kitten is a the desk when this woman walks in. The woman is wearing super high heels, a mini skirt, and a strapless bra. She goes up to Kitten and asks what the hourly rate for our hotel would be. Kitten starts to explain that we do not have an hourly rate, when this short old man walks into the hotel. He asks the woman what's going on, and the woman says she's just getting the rate. So Kitten again explains that we do not have an hourly rate, but they can pay the nightly rate if they want a room.
Woman= What's the nightly rate?
Kitten= 79.00 plus tax
Woman= *turns to the man* That's more than what you're paying me to do this.
Then they left.
I won't stay there it's creepy
A little background. There are a few weddings happening in town, and there is a huge festival going on here on the island. You add on to that people getting off the Ferry late, it leads to there being little to no vacancy on the island. I mean, people were driving two hours just for a room.
Anyway, I get sent over to Other Hotel, because they are very busy. As I'm the second best Auditor my boss employs, he wants me there while OH's Auditor is having her day off. As I arrive my friend who works at OH is checking a guy in. There are maybe 9 rooms left in the hotel, and things are hectic. We tell him we have no ground floor rooms left, so we put him upstairs. We deal with a few guests together, and my friend is about to punch out when the guy comes back.
SC= I want a refund.
Me= Is there a problem with your room?
SC= Listen Honey, (in my head= Don't call me honey.
) I have a heart condition and I can't be running up and down those stairs.
Me=( Then why did you take a second floor room?) Well we don't have any more ground floor rooms, but if you'd like the hotel across the street (MY HOTEL 
) still has vacancies so you could...
SC= I'm not staying there!
Me= Sir, it may be the only hotel with vacancy in the area and...
SC- I'm not staying there. It looks Creepy. I'm going to go find somewhere else to stay.
Me= (Good Luck Buddy) Alright Sir have a good night.
SC= HMPH! No thanks to you.
The next morning I went to MH to pick something up, and a car pulled up. Turns out that this group of people had to sleep in their car because every other Hotel on the island was full, and they hadn't seen ours. I can only hope the last SC got to have the same experience.
In the good news portion= I Sold out the hotel. ^-^ I always feel proud when I do that.
Funny enough, My Hotel had about 20 rooms vacant the whole night. I know a lot of people think it looks scary sometimes, and there are rumours it's haunted. But I mean, Any Port in a Storm Right? Besides, Other Hotel is the one where I guy killed himself 4 months ago.
And that's the end for now. ^-^
