If not cleaning staff, do they inform the guest that they are going to do it? Do they make any attempts to do it when the guest is not present?
I’ve had at least 10 multiday stays at hotels since the Vegas shooting. Never got maid service. Other than the one scenario I described, I’ve never experienced a room check (and even then they didn’t actually check). If these guys do it every single day to every single room with DND always on, they’re fucking ninjas.
Also, what exactly are they looking for? Just guns? If you got some lines of blow on the coffee table do they just leave it there and go about their day?
It is not listed in the policies of the two Hyatt’s I recently had multi-day stays at: San Fran Fisherman’s Wharf and Seattle Olive 8. But it is listed in the policies for a Hyatt in… India.
IDK I think it would be listed in the hotel policies?
More likely a misunderstanding of some sort imo. Do you think they are entering rooms every day but somehow nobody ever sees them? And they never happen to knock when the DND sign is out but you are in the room? And this policy is not mentioned on the hotel policies page?
I am interested in the update after you speak to him.
It seems like the most likely explaination is that Hyatt set a corporate policy to enter all rooms at least once per day, but that individual hotels and employees are not necessarily doing it in every case.
From the website of one hotel, that does appear to be the corporate policy.
“It is Hyatt’s practice to enter every occupied guest room at a minimum of once within a 24-hour period, even if a guest has requested privacy.”
[Otoh, I stayed for five days at a Hyatt recently and despite having that same policy listed on their website, I never had anyone perform a check while I was in the room. And, thanks to stuff going nuts at work, I ended up being in the room working every day from basically 8 am to 6 pm dailyband there was one day when I never left, so they clearly didn’t come in that day]
Strange that the Hyatt posted policies are so different from location to location even within just the US. I could not find that statement on the web sites of the two locations I recently stayed at.
Probably true. My guess is that corporate came up with the policy so that it could seem like it was “doing something” after the Las Vegas shooting, but individual franchisees didn’t do it. Some might have even started but then backed off if too many guests complained about someone coming in while the DND sign was on.
Anyway, I was more just pointing out that Clovis’ relative might just work at a property that follows the policy so they aren’t lying even if other properties are not following it.
Florida, USA, 2022. Mass shooting caught on livestream, guy sticks around for the “content”, people are cracking jokes and carrying on with their evening 30 seconds after the last shot is fired.
He said the DND is just a “privacy requested” and the cleaning staff will still poke their head in at least. Not every room will always get checked but he said the majority are checked once every 24 hours. It’s more likely followed at a cooperate hotel than a franchise one.
I’m sure the cleaning staff just walks by every room with a DND sign and then are like “oh sure boss I checked every room just like you asked me to.” That’s what I would do in any case.
