I'm a big fan of weaponizing hotel reviews. I review almost every hotel room I stay in, and I'm brutally honest. I say what I like, but I also say what I don't like. I'm not picky, I only expect a comfortable bed, a clean room, a clean operational bathroom, and an operational TV. If any of those are off, it's a problem, and it's going into the review.
It's surprising how many motels don't have operational TVs any more. I recently had a run of three motels in a row with non-working TVs.
I expect the bare minimum, that's all. Fuck up the bare minimum, and I'm going to savage you.
Hotels blame their bad reviews on the employees. Once worked at a hotel that blamed the front desk for the bad reviews the hotel got because of a burst water main.
That ain't just hotels, my friend. That's standard executive practice. They teach that in business school. It's ALWAYS the employees' fault.
I actually left a good review recently when I had to stay somewhere and only had the laptop. Their IT fellow was super helpful in helping me connect to the internet, despite my inexperience with the linux side of internet connection issues.
I leave good, even great reviews, when warranted. I especially like to call out employees by name, when they've done something extra for me. That way, even corporate sees it, in case they have that manger who takes credit for everything.
I prefer to leave good reviews, but a bad review is somewhat satisfying after a bad stay.
