Wait…WHAT?!? People Really Do THAT in Hotels?
If you plan on ever staying in a hotel again, read this book first. Author Jacob Tomsky, who has worked in a variety of jobs in two luxury hotels in New Orleans and New York City, gives the inside scoop on how to get the most from your stay. And while most of it is legal, some of it is not ethical. (You decide how far you're willing to push it for a free minibar drink.) Find out how to get a free room upgrade, late checkout, a complimentary bottle of wine and lots more—and all of that can be done legally and ethically. Find out why you should tip generously, always be friendly and never (ever) bring your own pillow.
The book is eminently readable and filled with anecdotes about guests rich, famous and ordinary. Some of these stories are laugh-out-loud funny, while others are absolutely astonishing. (People really DO that?!? Apparently so.)
Caution: There is a lot of foul language liberally sprinkled throughout the book. Some of it is perfectly acceptable, such in quotes from bellmen, doormen and valets. It's part of their job, and using it this way adds color. I get that. But there is a lot more that is not necessary and adds nothing to the text—so much so that I would have given the book five stars except for the language.
