OK so your off for a romantic weekend with the missus,the girlfriend or the parish priest and you want a little more than what you ordered off the Internet site. Here's a little secret that was recently shared with us that you might want to use, Its called the Anniversary excuse'. Now allow yourself plenty of time before you travel to do this and you should be sweet.
After you have made your booking email or write or ring the hotels 'General Manager'. Explain to him/her that " you have made a booking for say your 5th Wedding Anniversary....the hotel was the spot where you met your little lady blah blah blah and you were hoping that you could really surprise her with an perhaps a room upgrade or a little something special like chocolates or flowers or a bottle of champagne....
If you don't get an answer get back in touch 'just to check you got my message'. This secret also works if your looking for a late check out ...."er we want to enjoy our romantic getaway as long as we can....any chance of a 400pm check out...."
The secret is to be incredibly humble...er make that grovelling...If you don't get an answer back run the same line again at check in....whisper your request to check in staff....because you want to surprise you love ...er right !
And does this secret work ? You bet ! I just got back from a long overseas trip that involved 7 different hotels. Three of them I got upgrades,two of them late check outs and one a free bottle of French Champagne with a nice note from the Manager. Now so I don't appear to a be a complete tosser it really really really was my anniversary...er well at least in six months time ! So if you have an more secrets on getting upgrades and freebies at hotels let us know !!
