You wouldn’t believe some of the things guests have asked for! Just yesterday, someone wanted a pineapple delivered to their room at midnight because it was their ‘fruit of good luck.’ It’s always interesting to see what people think of when they check in. Anyone else have funny or strange requests to share?
I once had a guest ask for a life-sized cardboard cutout of their favorite movie star for their room — it’s like they needed a buddy to keep them company! Ever wonder if there’s a limit to how many strange requests one hotel can get?
For sure! I once mixed up two numbers on a budget report, and it turned a potential raise into a reality check — sometimes it feels like we’re balancing plates — one little slip and they all come crashing down.
And isn’t it wild how guests attach meaning to certain foods? I had someone ask for a basket of assorted nuts at 1 AM because they believed it would ‘bring prosperity.’ I was tempted to say, ‘How about a fruit basket instead for those midnight cravings?’ Have you heard similar superstitions from guests?
It’s wild how personal some of these requests get! , I had a guest once who insisted on having a specific brand of organic oat milk delivered at 2 AM. Like, I get it if it’s a diet thing, but come.
I can totally relate! , the late-night requests drive me nuts sometimes, especially when someone calls at 2 AM asking for an artichoke because it’s their good luck charm. I mean, artichokes?
this really drives me nuts sometimes! While reminder texts have helped, I think adding follow-up calls for those who seem disengaged could be a game changer. It shows we genuinely care, which might make them feel more connected.
That pineapple request at midnight sounds like a real curveball! I once had a guest ask for a hot tub on the roof because they thought it would be romantic. What’s the strangest timing for a request you’ve encountered?
That midnight pineapple request is wild; i once had a guest want a specific brand of organic almond butter delivered at 1 AM because it was ‘the key to her zen’. It’s always a fun challenge to meet those quirks, but , the timing can be brutal. Have you ever had to say no to a request that seemed just too out there?
