I've made it to the big time. Lady calls at 10pm to ask about reserving a room for next weekend (homecoming at the university and she's going only because her college student son wants her there). I'm full on Friday night, everybody paying full rates. She really wants Thurs-Sun, so that won't work for her. She asks about Sat & Sun. I quoted regular rate, she said "can't you do any better?", I gave her 20% senior discount. Email this am--- Am hoping that maybe you might reconsider reserving me a room for SAT and SUNDAY at a more reduced rate of $85.00 per night. I really am eager to see my son, but honestly between the gas, the rental car, food and everything else it is difficult for me at this time.
So, now I get to complain just like all you innmates who are in high volume tourist towns. I felt left out because we have so few times when rooms are at a premium here and I haven't had anybody ask for that much of a discount when most of the rooms in town are full.
That price is at least $20 per night less than I give business people or frequent flyers. ( Area code says West chester County NY.) Just like owners response on TA I wrote the reply I would've liked to send, then I replied sorry that our generous discount didn't fit her budget
