February Blog

2008-02-05T14:20:00.000-08:00

Hello all,

Its February now and all the holiday bills for the festive seasons are in, and the New Year Resolutions are still fresh... as for me thank God I did not have any new resolutions for the year because the hotel business in Vancouver is really heating up!

During the month of February we are having some great friends staying with us… our friends at Buildex 2008, Delta Chi Fraternity, Sea to Sky Cheering Leading.

Also recently we had some interesting guests stay with us that really made me appreciate what a truly great guest is again.

An American gentleman who shall remain nameless recently stayed with us and after he checked in and came back from his package dinner deal at the Top of Vancouver restaurant he brought me back a sample take-out pack from the restaurant because he said it was so good that I would not believe it! He decided to order a lobster dinner for me so I could taste for myself how great the dinners are there.

He calls me the Pitbull. Here is his very own testimonial for me that he put on the guest comment card! “ The “Pitbull” was very friendly and helpful and he made us feel very welcome, we look forward to staying again.”

Yes I am blowing my own horn here, but you have to admit, great guests make managing a hotel so much more enjoyable.

Now I want to know what your opinion is in what is a kind gift to give a guest when you appreciate them with out looking like you are sucking up to them? Any ideas? Are can you go too far? Leave a comment or an idea for me!

Next month I want to talk about the line from Clint Eastwood, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, and put the Guest Comments on the blog and would need your feed back to improve our guest services, and you would graded them:
G: for Good
B: for Bad
U: for Ugly
So here the comments:

Thank you and good luck with your new years resolutions!

A Woman’s Travel Guide:
Helpful Hints for Business Trips from Days Inns - Canada

When it comes to travelling for business, safety and security are of primary concern for women. Days Inns - Canada offers some essential tips to help ease the stress and make your hotel stay more enjoyable and hassle-free.

Plan Ahead: Research your destination and remember to book hotel reservations well in advance. Look for national hotel chains that cater to business travellers, such as Days Inn hotels with its offering of full business amenities including free high-speed Internet access in every room.

Trust Your Instincts: Make smart choices and use your common sense. Ask for your room to be located close to an elevator and away from exits. Avoid booking a ground-floor room or a room that has easy access from outside. Always keep your room double locked and be sure to use the deadbolt.

Privacy Please: When travelling alone, simply keep a low profile. Use covered luggage tags and include your office address instead of your home address. Check-in using your last name and first initial only. Inform the hotel not to release your information to anyone and ask them not to deliver any packages to your room.

Know Your Destination: Plan out your trip before travelling in a rental car. Get directions ahead of time and do not expose a map in your car with a marked destination. Before you leave for your business meeting or event, check out the ‘route planner’ on www.daysinn.ca for suggested route ideas.

Stay Connected: It's a good idea to email your upcoming travel itinerary to a colleague, friend or relative so someone will always know your whereabouts. Be sure to carry a cell phone when travelling alone, and of course sending an e-mail from the road to keep people informed is a good idea.

Reservations can be made by visiting www.daysinn.ca or by calling 1 800 DAYS INN.
