Crown Me, I Am A Diamond Member

Tweet

It's nice when people pay attention. Look, I am not saying I should be treated like a king by any means. But, when it comes to staying in hotels, I am a diamond member, the highest level you can achieve, and so you do expect just a little bit of extra treatment. Not that I was offered a free upgrade to a suite or anything, one of the perks I am supposed to get when I book a regular room, but have only been offered once. I just need a room, thank you very much. But I did make two specific requests. Again, nothing kinglike. I just wanted to be on the 2nd floor, and I wanted some extra regular coffee. I like my coffee. They accommodated both requests without a hitch, and actually read the requests. Often times I will put these things in when I book, but it is rare that the front desk person who checks me in actually makes note of them. Plus, on top of that, my room was more than ready. It's been in the 90s even in Wisconsin where I am staying tonight (for business travel), and my room was at a cool temperature with the air conditioner running already when I got in the room. Most of the time the room is either doggone hot or nail biting cold depending on the time of year of course and I have to get it cooled or heated myself. It probably does help just a little bit that this particular hotel is one I always stay at when I am on business in Wisconsin, and so the guy pretty much knows me and considers me a regular. But still. It's good to be king for a night.
