OK...The season is upon us. This is the second time in a month our bell has rang at the ungodly hours of 130AM and 400AM with someone looking for rooms. Hearing the guest bell ring in the middle of the night is like having the phone ring in the middle of the night. Usually not good news. So I get dressed thinking it's a guest who is having an emergency......Low and behold it's some PITA's actually thinking someone is up at that hour and anxiously waiting to see if anyone is going to stop by and check people in. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.........Needless to say I tell them I have no rooms at this time of the night..oh they say, you're full, I tell them NO I just don't check people in at this hour of the night!!! Oh we're sorry, they say, were you sleeping?? I tell them I was until the doorbell rang. Well OK I don't say the last part but I really want to...then I go back to bed and now my heart has been beating so fast it's taking a while to calm down and try to go back to sleep.
Our place is in the country so we don't lock our front door. Never have had any issues, except for these late walk ins. Usually this time of year I take the bell off the desk and put a note up that no rooms are available..These last few times I've forgotten and have paid for it. We have another bell in our library that guests can ring up to our living area if they need to get a hold of us.
Thanks for listening..........I'm tired today and maybe a little cranky! How do you handle late walk ins?? Do you get any??
