Cleaning for example
The problem is most hotels make you check out at around 12 PM so if I booked one night and did it at 12 AM they'll come in at 12 PM which would be 12 hour time. Is it enough? I read you should be free for like 24 hours
I've been in a hotel recently, stayed for about 5 days and not once did they come for routine cleaning. Typically you must explicitly call them if there is a mess to be cleaned otherwise I don't think they show up at all until your stay is up, then they come to tidy up the room for the next guests.
Yeah I guess you are right and I think they won't like care much if you didn't open the door for them for cleaning right?
Probably just assume you're asleep or occupied with something else, maybe leave a message for you, and be on their way. They would NEVER force their way in or go in without permission, unless, like I said, your stay is up, then they will likely come in assuming you are checked out or in the process of checking out.
Thank you very much.One last question, do you think they'd be suspicious if I didn't leave my room for 24 hours or would they not care?
I couldn't imagine a world where they are monitoring YOU specifically, like "oh this guy hasn't left his room at all since he booked it" very doubtful especially with all the other guests staying. You said you could only book a day which makes the time frame a little smaller but Ill bet you'd be okay.
I'm sorry I'm just overthinking it a bit. Thank you a lot
That's precisely what I was going to say. You are overthinking it. There's nothing necessarily wrong with too much planning or thinking though. I always say in regards to CTB that you should only do it once and get it right the first time.
I'm not very good at talking to people. Can you help me with how I should say it so that they don't get suspicious?
"Hi. I'm in room xxx and would like to request no housekeeping and not to be disturbed at all during my stay. Thank you."
I think your hotel will be fine.
Thanks for the detailed response. I unfortunately had to cancel my plans because all the hotels I contacted refused to give me a room because I'm a local
i hate it when trans people commit suicide because society sucks so much. i am figuring you are trans because of the avatar with blue and pink hair.
Im not trans, I'm a guy (AMAB) but I like the character from life is strange. Thanks though you weren't being a jerk you sound like a nice person
Thank you, hope you're doing ok yourself as well
Could you say you're staying there because there's work being done in your house/room? (construction, etc.)
I tried telling them something like that but I guess it's a law or something because they didn't accept
I had the money to book more days but they didn't even suggest it they just brushed me off and told me they can't give me a room and I also tried contacting another hotel and they said the same thing. I think it's a law where they can't legally give me a room or there will be consequences but I'm not sure
You live with your parents, how do you explain not being there for a couple nights etc
