Bed Bugs in Budget Hotels: Bed bugs are not only found in budget hotels, simply because they are affordable doesn't necessarily indic
Expensive weekend rates: It isn't a confirmed fact that hotels are expensive during weekends, it depends largely on the type of hotel, there bookings for the weekend and charging rates. For further explanation, hotels with high clientele would generally want to charge higher during the weekend when their sales are usually high but a hotel with low one would rather charge lower to pull in guests which would boost their sales for that weekend. Some would even take up idea of weekend promo.
Hotel staff are available to guests: Hotel staff aren't for rent or available to satisfy the desires or demands of guests, customer service is paramount but not that type of service.guests are responsible for their personal care in that aspect, hotel staff are their to provide official services which the hotel has publicly offered to the populace.
Spy cameras in rooms: Have you had situations where guests feel vulnerable about rooms, having this weird feeling that their are spy cameras in their rooms to view all their activities? Well this isn't true, it's against the laws and principles of hotels and is never done. CCTV's are only present in hotel where they are visible for guests to see and are for security purposes which hotels need to have for their own safety as well as that of the guests.
Cheap Hotels are bad: Hotels that offer low rates aren't necessarily bad are unkept, high end hotel can also be badly kept depending on the management. If staffs aren't well trained, services offered by hotel will be substandard. Hotels that offer cheap rates do so to increase traffic into their hotel which isn't a bad idea for generating high profit.
Hotels meet all demands: Their is a general belief that all hotels give out complimentary items such as towels, pajamas and so on. Giving out complimentary items is determined by the hotel management which is usually done by luxurious or high end hotels. All the hotels cannot afford to give out such items due to their rates and profit margin. Guests are not permitted to walk out of the hotel premises with hotel items without prior information by the hotel. Hotels don't offer all services.
