Big weekend coming up. When I check the OTAs, they are telling me that the city is 93% reserved. You can pretty much guess what that 7% represents.... the way overpriced and the ugly. And the ugly is going for $289 a night, BB are free! (It's a legally registered 1* hotel!). Want a room at the Hyatt? Over $700 a night.
So last night after 11PM the phone rings, waking me from my sleep. It's on, just in case it is an emergency. Not an area code we have in the house, so I let it go to voicemail. This morning I pick up the voicemail. They want me to call them back. Do you think that I will? NOPE!
If I have a room (and I may, we are trying to get one ready for the weekend that we just cleared), do you think that I was someone who was so inconsiderate to call a B&B after 11PM at night? They are from North America and everyone in North America should know that calls after 10PM are RUDE. Even if I had a room, you would be the LAST person on earth that I would rent it to. If you can't figure out to not call after 10PM.... you aren't going to be a delight to deal with when you are here... you are inconsiderate in the first place.
Here's the basic lesson....start on the right foot. Calling after 10PM... the wrong foot.
