Precautions for staying in a hotel Precautions for staying in a hotel

There are more and more people traveling outside now. Staying in a hotel or guesthouse has become one of the most important links in tourism. Everyone must be very concerned about the accommodation during the trip, because it is definitely different from the feeling of being at home when you are resting outside. Everyone must pay attention to many things. Let's share with you the precautions for staying in the hotel and the precautions for staying in the hotel.

What should I bring to stay in a hotel on business?

My personal suggestion is swimsuit (toothbrush, toothpaste, compressed towel, bath towel, etc. )

Small bottles of shampoo and shower gel, etc. ), and then wash it with paper cups in the hotel. If possible, you'd better bring slippers and some personal habits.

You'd better take clothes with you to sleep, as well as wet wipes or disinfectant (if you are a neat freak).

If women stay in some hotels with low security, it is recommended to bring something like anti-wolf spray for self-defense. People who are serious about cleanliness are expected to bring their own sleeping bags and sheets (after all, staying in a hotel is just a room for them).

If friends have high requirements for room safety, they can bring some tools to prevent outsiders from entering, and friends in need can trust me privately.

How to judge the layout of a room?

① The front and rear rooms at the end of the corridor are long and narrow, and the middle is dark. Only the middle of the corridor has a floor exit (highly recommended).

② Opposite the room is a fire escape, which you can see as soon as you open the door, and it is usually the tail room, because if outsiders sneak into the hotel room, that is the route they will choose, and the safety factor is low.

(3) Low room height, narrow area, cramped environment, insufficient air circulation, no windows or walls, no view out of the window or poor view (usually special rooms) are not conducive to health, because poor air circulation makes people feel depressed.

The mirror in the room faces the bed or the door faces the bed, and the bathroom faces the bed. When the mirror is facing the bed at night, it is easily influenced. Doors and beds don't explain. Everyone has basically never seen such a room, right?

(5) There are engineering buildings or load-bearing columns in the room (totally unacceptable). The picture below is not appropriate, that is, there is a pillar in the room, and sometimes it may be a sewer pipe.

Below are two standard rooms (star hotels)

The express hotel is actually similar.

Can those things in the express hotel work or not? Let me give you an example to illustrate.

① Enter the US delegation, locate the coastal areas, and choose an express hotel. The price is around 100. Focus on the most popular hotels.

Meituan's model is to sign a large number of rooms with hotels, win the wholesale price in the form of private rooms and then sell them, or book them on Meituan, and you can get a commission or draw money when you check out. Let's calculate it at the commission rate of 10% (which may be low). Let's calculate the room rate 1 10. After deducting the commission, the hotel will get the 99 yuan.

(3) Hotels are generally rented houses, which are commercial in nature and pay rent every month. Therefore, if a room is not sold that night, the hotel actually loses the rent of this room. Generally, the rooms in express hotels are 20 square meters. Let's calculate the rent in 20 yuan (1 flat/1 block/1 day). This is a conscience price, so it is still not an open price. 79 yuan after deducting the rent.

(4) The water and electricity in the guest's room can be used in spring and autumn, and the air conditioner can't always be turned on in winter and summer, which are all commercial electricity. Suppose a guest enters a room and turns on the air conditioner until he checks out, takes a shower and watches TV. It's not too much to charge you 10 yuan for one night, just 69 yuan.

⑤ The hotel housekeeper completes the number of guaranteed rooms every day, and the extra rooms have a commission, in the form of basic salary plus commission, and so does the front desk. This project doesn't have to live on your room rate. The average 15 yuan here is not too much. After all, a front desk in your hotel will give people 2000 yuan a month. On average, a room costs 5 yuan to sell 400 rooms, which is a month's salary, not to mention you.

When the hotel first opened, the TV, air-conditioned bed and other fixed items in the room were very expensive. Every check-in is a fixed loss, and it will be replaced to a certain extent. Decoration is the same, there is a depreciation rate. This expense need not be included. Five yuan is not much, so it's 49 yuan.

⑦ When opening a hotel, you have to face the fire industry and commerce. It's easier to send the dead than the children. If you want to know how to handle the card, there is only 44 yuan left (I'm not sure about this cost cycle).

8 air conditioning, lighting, elevators, computer offices, etc. In Gong * * * area, the hotel consumes internally, and the money comes from the room rate, so it is 5 yuan and 39 yuan (a large express hotel, after all, Gong * * has a large area).

Pet-name ruby consumables loss and linen washing, disposable toothbrush slippers, etc. , bed sheets, quilt covers, etc. It's hard to say whether it's the cost of changing the washing.

These are some obvious costs, but I don't know the hidden costs. You see which one is essential, and only the last one is the most cost-effective.

A male classmate took his little sister to check in and slept naked. I asked you if you were surprised when I saw this.

Yeah, you haven't been to the linen laundry, have you? Some friends criticized me for not putting too many pictures. Let me correct it and take a picture.

Do you think so?

Like this?

How bad is it?

Actually, it may be like this.

All kinds of bleached caustic soda washing sheets

A complete set of hotel linen washing equipment should include automatic washing line, automatic dryer, automatic roller press and folding machine.

After a sheet is removed, it must be pre-washed (clean water for dust removal), boiled (alkali boiled) and rinsed for 2-3 times, and the PH value is detected to confirm that it is weak enough for human contact before delivery.

However, such standard complete sets of equipment and strict washing procedures are not accepted by all hotels.

Sodium hydroxide is the common name of sodium hydroxide, which is a strong corrosive alkali. No matter how dirty linen is, adding sodium hydroxide can also quickly wash white.

Washing products are alkaline. If inferior washing products are used or the rinsing is not enough, the alkaline residue on the bedding towel is very harmful to human body, and long-term contact with the skin can easily lead to various skin diseases.

Let's take a look at the online reports. Too many. Interested friends can search.

In the face of profit, under the pressure of cost, I dare not say absolutely, most express hotels are birds of a feather.

With another knife, many black laundries (not even linen companies) will take orders from hospitals, such as patients' clothes, sheets and various medical cloth products, and put them in barrels to stir, and then the laundry barrels will not be cleaned. .....

That guy who loves to sleep naked, are you okay?

This kind of thing has been exposed many times in various media magazines, so you can search for it yourself.

Emphasize one point:

Most five-star hotels have their own laundry rooms. They will spend millions on such products and have strict nursing procedures.

But some will take orders from outside, and some laundry classification is also chaotic, but in short it is definitely much better than the express hotel.

For the record, I have been working in three hotels, including Intercontinental Group and Starwood Group.

If economic conditions permit, we still choose this large hotel, after all, its hygiene standards and safety system are very high.

Because of the existence of scoring system and complaint system, hotels will also control this aspect. The quality of employees is relatively high and the management is strict, so there are fewer problems.

I didn't say spare parts were completely unusable,

I mean, for express hotels, spare parts should not be used if they can be used. High-star hotels will be better, but it is not without what I said.

Some parts of the article are about the hotel where I work. The tips given to you later are mainly aimed at some hotels with low safety factors. After all, you live in a special room for one night, and the room rate is about 100 yuan.

Your water and electricity consumption in the hotel is a commercial charge, plus the labor cost of the guest room, the rental cost of the hotel, the cost of consumables (including consumables and linen cleaning) and the loss of items in the room.

What kind of cost do you think can be saved? That must be consumables, and the charge for linen cleaning is piecework.

I said these situations, basically all hotels have, depending on how many problems.

In recent years, I have seen drug abuse, prostitution, infidelity, rape and mental illness in hotels. Everyone has his own way of playing. Rich people naturally go to high-end places to play, and go to express hotels economically.

And the hotel won't tell the next guest about the last tenant. What you see is only the superficial efforts of the hotel.

Suppose you use L 'Occitane (how much you can pay) bath products in a hotel, only a little. Do you think the guest room will directly use your rest or recycle it?

Isn't this the cost? Did you see the brand-new white bathrobe and bath towel when you checked in? Do you think it's okay when you clean the room and check out? How do you know if the last guest used it to wipe anything without leaving a trace?

Do you know how you washed the brand-new white sheets on the bed? Do you know how often the TV remote control and air conditioning remote control in the hotel are wiped? Do you know how often the mattress is cleaned?

How often do you wash the sofa? What you see is what the hotel wants you to see. Make superficial efforts to satisfy the guests. Then why make great efforts to do things that other guests can't see? It's as simple as that

After working the night shift for nearly half a year, the whole person is not good. Changing shifts really hurts your health. One night when I was on the night shift, a guest came and said that his room was not clean.

At that time, I smiled and asked the guests what was unclean. In fact, what I was thinking was that you were crazy and came to the front desk to tease me at night.

As a result, the guest said that when he was sleeping in his room, he heard someone throwing coins at the toilet, which was the sound of coins spinning every once in a while.

At that time, the assistant manager of the lobby came back with the guests and said that it was no problem, but the guests insisted on changing rooms and changed them. Later, the guest forgot to take a piece of luggage and asked us to help him with it. The porter went to bed, so I went to get it. As a result, I heard the sound of coins falling to the ground in the room and the kind of _ _ _ _ footsteps. I was so scared that I peed. I took the things and ran away, and it was no problem for the engineering department to check the next day. Damn it.

Another time, in the middle of the night, I wanted to go to the presidential suite on a whim, and then I inserted my room card and left the door open. As a result, when I was wandering around the room, the power went out suddenly. I was really scared at that time. A room of several hundred square meters is so dark that I can't see my fingers. I turned on the lighting of my mobile phone and ran to the door from memory. The door was still closed!

My back was wet when I ran out. I want to see the monitoring, but the program is too troublesome. I must have a reasonable reason and get the approval of the assistant manager in the lobby. My personal guess is that the magnetic force at the bottom of the door of the presidential suite is not enough, and then the contact surface between the room card and the power supply was shocked when it was closed. Anyway, I never dared to go into the presidential suite at night after that.

Another time was in the middle of the night, a guest of a suite complained that the upstairs suite was too noisy to sleep, and asked to change rooms or we could negotiate, so I went to that room and knocked on the door. After the door was opened, only a small gap was left, and a big man with some kind of tattoo was naked. He asked me what was wrong.

I peeked, and there seemed to be a lot of people inside, and some people were kneeling, just like the scene of gathering people to fight in society. I was too scared to speak at that time (I was timid), so I quickly made up two sentences (asked him if he wanted a dish or something) and ran away, then went back to report to the assistant manager in the lobby and finally changed rooms for the guests. Who the fuck can afford this stuff?

Another time, a guest complained that the suite next to him was too noisy. We went to see it. It was really noisy. It is estimated that there will be a party.

Some people are singing, others are shouting. I guess they played high. No matter whether we called or knocked, there was no response. We have no choice but to change rooms for our guests.

The next day, after the guests checked out, my sister went to clean and found things like rolled tin foil. I asked my sister to throw these things away with gloves (and later lost them). There is a bad smell in the room, so I can't say it. It's disgusting anyway. Those things can't be touched. In short, some things in the hotel are best not to be used, because you never know what the last guest in your room did in the room.

Generally speaking, addicts with some money prefer to take drugs in hotels, because it is private and they can have group sex after smoking. Even when I see these things in the hotel, I feel sick. In short, don't touch them.

Later, when I found signs in the room, I told Sister Fang to pay attention to safety and the room needed special cleaning, and then I informed the assistant manager on duty and reported the situation to him. This matter concerns all aspects of the hotel and must be decided by the leaders. As an ordinary employee, I have done my duty.

This incident is definitely not reported by an individual, but the hotel as the main body has a process and preparation for reporting this matter.

As for how to call the police, who to contact, how to contact and how to express, the hotel also has its own handling methods and relationships, which are beyond the control of an ordinary employee of mine. I can only do my own thing.

Here, I would like to advise a friend who is about to enter the hotel to act calmly at all times. The most important thing in a hotel is to learn to protect yourself.

I know a colleague in a hotel called the police because of this incident and was threatened with retaliation, and finally resigned and left his hotel.

Then let's talk about the front and back rooms. Many guests from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan don't want front and back rooms. The so-called front and rear rooms are the first and last rooms in a row of rooms.

Why is this happening? Generally speaking, there are rooms on both sides of the middle room, the air is relatively ventilated, and people live on both sides, which is popular (some guests think so).

In fact, the rooms in the middle are generally well laid out, with good orientation and air circulation, close to elevators and stairs, and generally have a good view.

On both sides of the front and rear rooms of a building, there are often some facilities to be built next to the room (because there is no room on one side of the front and rear rooms), such as drainage pipes and circuits outside the building. Then the rooms on both sides of the building may not have such good air circulation, lighting and vision. Some special rooms in express hotels belong to this category. Without windows or previous partition rooms, the room is damp and dark, which will make people feel depressed and is not conducive to people's health. In addition, some facilities will give off.

Finally, say something interesting. There used to be a guest who was gay. I worked the night shift that night and watched him change three or four people in one night. There are students (wearing school uniforms), students (carrying schoolbags) and models (I guess the image fits well). I was really eye-opening that night, basically going back and forth every hour, and brushing the elevator several times that night. There is also a buddy who comes to see the house in the evening and calls several ladies, one every half hour. I don't even want to register as a visitor. To tell the truth, the lady herself and the photo on her ID card can't be seen as the same person at all (of course, the certificate may also be fake).

Then this guy is also very good. So many young ladies didn't come out after calling in. I'm excited to think about it. Also, both Japanese and Koreans are drunk. Even if you pee in front of the hotel, even the boys in the concierge department will not let go, gesturing to applaud with him. Little brother just graduated from technical secondary school and came out for an internship, and he was scared at that time. And Russians want to change dollars into RMB in the middle of the night. We have a rule that we can only exchange a certain amount of dollars a day. As a result, the guests refused to change more and roared at us in the lobby. The point is that he wants to change RMB and go out to find a lady.

His sentence "I% #&I can't stand it soon" was impressive, and Vienna was great. And when I was on the night shift, I met a naked man running in the lobby, naked, which was also an eye-opener. What else is there to catch rape? I can't tear it all night.

A friend asked why this happened in the hotel. I can only say that this happens in almost all hotels. Of course, hotels like the government should be basically excluded. Rich people naturally go to high-end places to spend money, and those who are not well-off go to ordinary hotels.

But generally speaking, the higher the star rating, the safer it is. After all, the price is there, and such hotels usually have their own set of safety systems and hygiene standards, including linen consumables.

Because high-star hotels, if they complain about rooms, not only will their scores be affected, but they may also be criticized, so hotels are still relatively strict in this respect. For example, if I find hair or blood on the bed after I check in, I may complain, and the assistant manager in the lobby may come to apologize. But let's see if it can be used in the express hotel.

Once before, a guest found tin foil in a magazine in his room after checking in, and then we were complained. Finally, we upgraded the room type and exempted the room fee.

Also, when I stayed in a hotel, I didn't use any bath towels, towels, washing cups and kettles in my room. If some linen looks clean and belongs to the usable category, the room attendant may not change it (some hotels also save costs).

The remote control of TV and air conditioner is for holding your own napkin. After all, it takes a long time to clean the remote control. The bathtub will definitely not be used unless I see the big sister in the room wiping it in front of me.

Don't sit on the toilet. You haven't seen how big sister cleans the toilet. Before using it, you'd better rinse it with hot water from the water heater. As for the non-disposable slippers in the bathroom, those who dare to wear them are really big-hearted.

And those bedclothes, I can only spread my hands when my friends love to sleep naked. Generally speaking, if the hotel has no cleaning facilities, it will collect and package the daily linen and send it to the linen cleaning company.

However, you have never seen such a large cleaning machine. All kinds of flax are mixed and washed, just dry after washing. Use bleach and strong detergent. Anyway, as long as linen is as white as new.

The general safety standard of decontamination products is still non-toxic, but I don't know what standard products manufacturers will choose in the face of cost. ...

Don't worry about rest after entering the house. Look at the layout of the room first, and feel whether the air is circulating and whether there is sunshine. It must be right to pay more attention when going out.

If couples come out to check in, but they are uneasy about the room, take a minute to check the room at night, unplug the electric card, darken the room, see if there are regular flashing light sources or unreasonable bright spots, and open some movable fences.

When doing things, you can turn up the volume of your mobile phone and play a song, or ask the guests in front of the front desk room when to check out, what gender and what type (of course, this requires skill) to identify. If you don't feel safe before going to bed at night, you can do this.

It can scare someone or warn you when they try to enter your room. After all, some hotel chains are useless.

Hang the Do Not Disturb sign after entering the door, so that the hotel staff won't come to you directly, and then take a minute to learn the escape information behind the door, ensure that the telephone and network in the room are unblocked (see if your mobile phone has a signal), and know how to contact the hotel front desk.

It is also necessary to close the curtains before going to bed and leave a corridor light or night light.

If you are still worried, especially girls, you can prepare a recording in advance and play it at the maximum volume when you are in danger to avoid being unable to call for help when you are controlled. You can also prepare a bottle of pepper spray and put it under the pillow to protect yourself.
