The Add-On List...

[Generic]

I'm starting to think that maybe I should start a lovely list of add-ons for those who want top service rather than basic service and don't mind paying for it. So, here is your chance to find and add anything and everything that you can think of that we could charge extra for.....

• New roll of toilet paper daily $5
• New and never used towels $40 on day of arrival, $35 subsequent days
• Daily change of all towels $5
• New and never used sheets $250 on day arrival, $200 for subsequent days
• Escort to room $10
• Map of the city because you don't how how to use Google Maps $10
• Bell Hop $10
• Reading of instruction sheet in room $10
• Special request breakfast $20
• New and never used slippers $5 on day or arrival, $5 each time you request new pair.
• Use of hair dryer $2 per use
• Discussion at breakfast table $20
• No discussion at breakfast table $40
• Weather in Celcius $5, in Farenheit $10, in Kelvin $20
• Umbrella $5 per use, $20 for new and unusued, $40 for one without a horrible design
• No commentary on your horrible parking $10
• No commentary on the fact that you brought 2 suitcases for a 2 night weekend stay $10
• Fresh orange juice for breakfast $5 per glass
• Toasting your toast because you are too precious to get off your rump $5

You have a valid point that guests expect the same level of service and amenities no matter the price point.
I keep saying I'm not going over $200/night because I don't want to have to provide all the extras. But guests expect the same from me as they do the $300/night place and the $139/night place is also expected to provide those things.
I've seen reviews for another place in town that is about $40/night less than us and $150/night less than another place. She gets dinged because she doesn't have the $300/night amenities. Hey, people! Spend the extra $150! Get the amenities you want! Don't expect them included at $139!
PS - walk them to the room for free. (I'll stop now.)

Did you used to walk them to the room?
It's a tough call. You don't want to be sharing personal health info but sometimes it shuts the complainers up. As in, 'Gomez has 5 stents in his heart, awfully sorry he can't carry that 75 lb suitcase up the stairs for you. Just wheel it along.'

Honestly, no. We thought they were adults, who could find their own room among the five rooms. We just never realized it was so daunting to try to figure it out.

 

[Jcam]

I show people to their room but mainly because our numbers go up the first stairs 1.2.3.4 then no room five cos we cut it up for ensuites then 6 7 8 on the top landing then you start coming down the second staircase for 9, 10 , 11 12 - with 11 and 12 on the ground floor so I don't want people walking all the way up and round for a ground floor room.

Nothing at all to do with being adults. It's being helpful. Because no one can find the thermostat, the A/C unit, the bathroom.
Seriously. We had 4 adults who managed to get themselves here who could not, amongst them, find the A/C in the room.
They told us in the morning that we should have A/C in the room. We asked if the unit didn't work. They said there was no unit. The rooms are not that big.
Ditto people who think the bathroom is a closet (door is actually marked 'bathroom') and who ask where the bathroom is. (I can't figure out why they think the room would have a closet and no bathroom.)
I guess we've just found it easier to show them once instead of having to field a bazillion problems in the morning.
I will no longer explain how the fireplaces work, however. You're on your own with that one.

Never had them not find the A/C.... now, there was the lady who thought that AC fixed menopause, but that's an entirely different thing. Honestly, never had anyone complain about it until now... and it's just one guy

You have to ask Gomez about A/C curing menopause. All he knows is it's 58 degrees outside and I've got the fan blowing all that lovely cold air right into the bedroom. He, with his 15 blankets, hides on the other side of the bed.
That fan will be on until it frosts over and seizes up. And I will sleep like the dead as he shivers and piles on more blankets.
I dropped the temp in my dad's house from 82 to 65 the first night I was there. Luckily for dad he sleeps downstairs and I was upstairs. He couldn't believe i had the fan on all night. He also had piles of blankets.

You were an one man band! I'm impressed! Now take some pain killer and soak yourself in a tub. It helps to relax muscles and pain. My dad does it after a hard day at work. A good book etc can help pass the time. Then call "you-know-who" to tell that person you want your business cards back. You didn't care for the clientele you got from their state….
