One might also be hoping that the hotel paid at least in the hundred dollar range for their luxury hotel bedding set.

Almost all of us have had a bad experience with a hotel at one point or another. Perhaps the room was not entirely clean, had an odor, or was located a little too close to the ice machine. Maybe the complimentary continental breakfast was only worth what you paid. Or perhaps the 17 year old front desk clerk was too busy on her BlackBerry to check you out, making you miss the next shuttle bus to the airport. Whatever the case may be, consumers should not just complain to their family and friends after they get home from their vacation or business trip. Raise the issue with the hotel - if done correctly, you not only may resolve the problem but you may receive compensation. Wouldn't it be great to...

At no point in the sales process of a condo hotel may the sales agent representing the developer discuss any aspect of rental income. In fact, not a single piece of information provided in connection with a condo hotel sale may emphasizes the economic or tax benefits of the rental program. This has proven to be a point of major frustration for many potential purchasers. The laws are very clear. A developer will get into massive trouble with SEC securities laws if he promotes the "investment" nature of a condo hotel. And any sales agent who discusses a condo hotel as an investment will lose their license and will no longer be able to practice real estate. In fact, the only statement that a sales...

When I first stepped into the Watershed, I immediately stepped out after I had purchased my drinks because the place to be in the Watershed is actually at the outdoor seating. With its harbour views and diverse atmosphere, the Watershed is definitely the place to be if you want a great evening. The inside of the Watershed is fairly standard: there's a bar, TV screens, and tables where people can talk and enjoy their drinks. The DJs spin fairly good music, and the bartenders are quick, efficient, and friendly. However, for a university student like me, a big no-no for any bar or nightclub is expensive drinks...and the Watershed's drinks - while they are not as expensive as say, The Ivy - are not uni...

I see comments on you tube, blogs, and forums about how Tokio Hotel fans only like "the old Tokio Hotel". You see comments like "the band has gone commercial" or "they're just not the same band anymore", the usual two objections being that the band is attempting to make money or their style has changed. Looking at this from the perspective of being what I call myself "the oldest Tokio Hotel fan " I actually find this extremely amusing. I can recall myself saying that Bob Dylan sold out when he stopped doing acoustic music. I accused various bands during my time of "going commercial". I remember bands changing their style and finding it highly objectionable. Of course what I find amazing is that the...

Today, more than ever, hotel security has grown to encompass more than just emergency and evacuation plans, a stern visit to a rowdy room, or a security guard at the hotel's entrance. Like all other large facilities in a post 9/11 world, hotels must protect themselves and their guests against terrorists looking for a high-throughput environment that would draw media and public attention in the case that an event transpires there. The connotations of contemporary threats translate into several crucial aspects regarding hotel security. First, the risk assessment is no longer an option for hotels, but rather a necessary tool. Secondly, the security manager and his or her team must be professionally...

It's easy to dismiss hotel reception software as a necessary evil. But put yourself in your customer's shoes - they're phoning to make a reservation (probably because they don't want to give out their credit card details to some anonymous computer system) and they'd like an answer to whether you have a room available as soon as possible. They'd also like to know the price and whether there are any special offers - after all, most customers are budget conscious at the moment. Your receptionist may be an old hand, someone you've just hired or it could be you. The customer doesn't care - they just want an answer! The old fashioned system of pencil and paper works OK when there's only a handful of rooms...
