Getting Better Service

Take along a sense of humor when checking into hotels, motels, B&B's, campsights or hostels. The front desk clerks always appreciate a smile and thank you. Ask for help, don't demand.

Have your information and payment method ready to give to the clerk. If you have preferences on bed size, room size or location, smoking or non-smoking, let the clerk know right away.

Always tip the waiter or chamber maid in the first few days of a long stay in a resort. You will nearly always find they look after you exceptionally well (change of towels, speedy service at the bar after meals, etc.)Sarah
