You wouldn’t believe the odd requests we hear at the front desk! Just last week, a guest asked if we could arrange a surprise tuba performance in their room. It’s hilarious how creative some people can get with their staycation ideas. What’s the funniest or weirdest request you’ve encountered in your hotel experience?
It’s like trying to snag a hotel room during spring break — timing is everything! I jumped on a similar role last month and snagged it, but I realized it helps to keep your resume sharp and tailored to each listing. Have you seen any positions worth chasing?
I totally get the creativity in requests! I once had a guest ask for a pet tarantula in their room for a ‘unique vibe.’ It drives me nuts how some people think that’s a normal ask! You’d think a tuba would be easier than that, right?
You’d think a tuba would be easier than that, right? Once, I had a guest ask for live monkeys in their suite for an ‘exotic’ experience. It’s all in good fun, but we had to draw the line somewhere. What’s the craziest thing you’ve pulled off? @oscar_lawrence99.
I once had a guest request a bubble bath with rubber ducks for their kids. It’s wild how the simplest things can lead to the most fun stays! Ever had to source something unusual on short notice?
