1. Talk to the Doorman<\/strong> 2. Ask the Front Desk for Local Recommendations<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking for a truly authentic recommendation, ask a front desk employee for an insider opinion, something they like doing for fun in the area as a local, not a tourist. You\u2019re more likely to get a unique recommendation that\u2019s off the beaten track.<\/p>\n 3. Be Polite to All Hotel Staff<\/strong> Always say thank you and please, be courteous, find out their name, and always bring up complaints or discrepancies with caution and sensibility. After all, hotel employees don\u2019t want to make your stay unpleasant, but they\u2019ll definitely lose a lot of empathy if you\u2019re difficult to deal with.<\/p>\n 4. Ask the Front Desk for Miscellaneous Items<\/strong> We all tend to forget essential toiletries on short trips. Items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and shaving cream are complimentary upon request.<\/p>\n 5. Try to Stay at the Same Places<\/strong> Now that you have these simple tips to get more out of your hotel day stay experience, book your next room with HotelsByDay\u2019s Android 404<\/span> or iOS<\/a> mobile app!<\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n
\nMany hotel guests make the mistake of passing bellmen and doormen without much more than a \u201chello,\u201d let alone thinking to utilize the them for information, dry cleaning, shuttles, snacks, water bottles \u2014 and in some cases \u2014 discounts for tours or attractions. The next time you check in to stay for the day, introduce yourself, ask how they\u2019re doing, and politely make your inquiry. They won\u2019t be offended if you tip, either.<\/p>\n
\nThere\u2019s no doubt that hotel concierge staff are helpful, and with good reason: it\u2019s their job to know the marquee attractions in the area like the back of their hand. The only problem with asking the concierge for things to do and where to eat is that they can receive commission or kickbacks from these places based on whom they can refer.<\/p>\n
\nThis should really be a given, but if it was, we wouldn\u2019t include it on the list. Being polite can go a long way with hotel employees when they\u2019re deciding whether to help you or not.<\/p>\n
\nHotels tend to have a more extensive supply collection behind the front desk than you\u2019d expect, and guests rarely utilize it. Miscellaneous items like corkscrews and cell phone or laptop chargers sit unused behind the front desk. So if you\u2019ve forgotten your charger, don\u2019t hesitate to run down to the front desk for help.<\/p>\n
\nIf you regularly travel to a particular city, try booking your hotel day stay at the same location. Over time, you\u2019ll get to know the staff, and they\u2019ll get to know you. It may or may not yield any special perks such as discounted rates, upgrades, VIP status or even free amenities, but at the least, any issues you have will be taken care of immediately, and you\u2019ll experience better service as soon as you\u2019re spotted.<\/p>\n![\"-\"](\"https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/_data\/default-hotel_image\/0\/2318\/corner-king_659x440_auto.jpg\")
