>Anon, I'm so happy you made a reservation with us, paid in advance and flew all this way here, arrived early morning with your heavy baggage hoping you can see the city... but look at the time nigger! Check in is at 15:00h!
Why isnt there a hotel that has check in at reasonable times like say 08:00h or even 10:00h? Literally wasting all sunlight of the day waiting for my room.. and no I'm not dropping my bags with people I just met.

I did facilities maintenance at a hotel when I was in college for like 4 years. I think the property was around 170 rooms, and even with a full staff of like 8 housekeepers it could take well into late afternoon for them to finish turning over all the rooms. It's not that they were lazy, it's just a lot to do. Especially Sundays with a lot of weekend turnover, we'd have 100% occ and almost EVERY room had to be turned. When you can't start vacuuming and banging around until like 10-11am because people are asleep, you're not going to finish until the afternoon. In an alternate universe where housekeeping started at 3 in the morning and check in was at 10, you'd be complaining about noise and asking why check-in isn't later in the day.

I don't know why this is so hard for people outside of the hotel industry to understand. This and the fact that you need to wait for people to check out at 10. "waaah i'm the only person that exists why can't I check in whenever I want" is genuine gorilla gibs mentality.

one time i got to a hotel at 7am and they let me in to a room. it was amazing. you just have to get lucky, and not on a busy day
>>
>>2837528
I understand the why but man it truly sucked having to find a way to kill 4 hours while being tired and smelly from sitting in an airplane for 8+ hours and going through customs.
>>
>>2837544
well the reason why more people aren't fed up with it is they trust the hotel to watch their bags. unless it's an especially sketchy place (which i wouldn't be staying at anyway), you should just drop your bags off bro

are you retarded?

Hotel staff are not responsible for the security of guests' luggage. This is standard at any hotel anywhere in the world. That being said, nobody's gonna steal my fucking $12 duffel bag full of cheap clothes. One advantage of being a poorfag.
>>2837544
Aim for afternoon arrivals if possible. Eat a leisurely lunch after you arrive in a place, if you expect to arrive before check-in time. Sit on a park bench with your luggage, watch the people and the traffic. Look at a terrain map of the city on your phone, see if there are any cool places worth checking out later. I usually show up in the lobby 30-45 minutes before check-in time if I arrive early. Sometimes they let me check in early, other times they don't. I'm fine either way. Patience is a traveler's virtue.

As a long-term traveler, you might as well get used to being homeless and adrift for a few hours every time you move to a new place. Consider splitting your luggage into two bags, so you can leave the bulky low-value items in the hotel lobby without a care while carrying the valuable items on your back in a small backpack.

That being said, you sound like a fatass traveling with gigantic suitcases who expects heaven and earth to move according to your whims. I recommend staying home and forgoing any future trips. You're simply not cut out for the travel life.

good hotels will have a room where they do indeed store and take responsibility for the luggage

Yeah, where I worked it all went into the general manager's office. Hotel staff really don't care enough to steal your stuff, and if OP is that worried about it what makes him think they can't just go into his room after he's unpacked? My key fob could literally open any door in the building whenever I wanted, occupied or not.

Understandable but what does sewerslvt (now known as cynthoni) have to do with that ?
>>
>>2837821
It represents the emotion I'd feel when people would call late at night complaining their HVAC wasn't working because they couldn't figure out a 2-function thermostat.

Did you like the new album? I enjoyed the DLS remake from January but I thought the melody stuff was just alright

Ever thought about taking a later flight?

Man that sounds like a rough job. You're a manager or only in the cleaning team ?

Honestly I much prefer the new cyn sound. I like how it has evolved with the artist, being more positive "fuck it we ball" energy. It's easier to listen in general. Production and mixing are also way better (more bass, and breaks sound cleaner overall). The old sewer sound still has a special place in my heart tho.
DLS remake was very good and a nice farewell to the sewer project. The melody EP have grown on me a bit. I wish we would get more garage / dubstep / house stuff like smoke it to the butt or agonyOST

I was part of maintenance so I did stuff like lighting repairs, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, drywall and caulking, etc. I actually loved it because my management was great, good benefits like 401k matching, cheap hotel rooms, tips from setting up banquets and fixing things on the fly, and stuff like changing out a dead ballast and watching a light turn on just satisfied an innate desire to fix things in a way my high school fast food jobs didn't. You'd just deal with stupid things like that sometimes.

I liked part 1 & 2 and smoke it to the butt a lot as well. The vocals on the melody stuff just aren't it for me, and the instrumentals are just kind of empty without them. The lo-fi versions are better. I love agonyost though, variations of hell is a perfect album and I like the remixes on headaches and shrooms. Bump to that shit in my car all the time. That sort of messy garage sound is just so hard to find now.

Punctuation is important.

>Why isnt there a hotel that has check in at reasonable times like say 08:00h or even 10:00h?
that's called
>early check-in
you can request it
the pay for it
depending on the hotel it'll be ~10-30% of your nightly rate

also literally every hotel offers to hold your luggage until check in
they mostly have an extra, closed off room behind their reception where you can leave your bags, explore the city and then come back at 15:00

>no I'm not dropping my bags with people I just met.
alternatively, most central train stations have coin operated lockers
also no one is interested in your shitty clothes anon, just take your valuables with you

and
if you travel in off or shoulder season
there's a big chance you can just ask at the same day to check in early and they'll let you for free

the last like ~5 hotel stay (all during low season) I always checked in between 9:00 and 12:00, WITHOUT paying
I just ask nicely when I arrive and at most it took them 30min to prep the room if it wasn't ready already
>>
>>2837528
I've met OP and this is literally 100% correct. All he does is complain. Complain and rapes, rapes and complains. Back and forth nonstop, all day. No matter what you do he will find a way to complain or rape.

I didn't and made that very clear in the interview. I learned as I went, and the maintenance supervisor was great at answering questions.

Bro I remember coming back from vacation years ago in my car and somehow blasting headaches and shrooms. Gas Station Sesh is phenomenal, the bass and ambiance take you on a ride. I really hope we get more from this garage project later in the future
>>
>>2837519
I bet you're not complaining when hotels don't force you to check out by 7 am are you?

Which version of the songs do you guys like better? The ones on the EP or the individual remixes? I think the die for you remix with the vocals is better than gas station sesh but blue flood lights is better than the Kid A mix

The simple solution is to book the room for the previous night as well. When you show up the next day you are a day late but you can check in at any time since the room was yours since yesterday.

What you're asking OP shows a pretty significant lack of critical thinking. I'm not trying to defend the Wyndham corporation but it would be an undue hardship on the hotels. Either. . .

1. Checkout time is 4am so rooms can be ready by 8am as you noted

2. They hold rooms for a day between guests, essentially losing out on a night of revenue to allow your early check in. This is completely impossible for hotels with stay lenghts averaging less than a week. It could maybe work for resorts with stays averaging 10 days or more.

Yeah it sucks but show up, ask if the room is ready. It probably won't be, drop your luggage and go sit in a restaurant for a few hours. Or pay for the extra night prior to your arrival.

>Anon, you are not allowed to self-upgrade yourself to business class despite their being lots of empty seats, go back to your seat or you will be thrown off the plane and arrested

>Anon, we have overbooked your flight so we're going to have to downgrade you from the business class seat you paid money for to economy, here are some worthless miles you can use toward your next flight with us now that you never want to fly with us again and what's the point because you might get downgraded
>>
>>2837519
Why don't you just check your bags into the security room?
>>
>>2837583
>Hotel staff are not responsible for the security of guests' luggage. This is standard at any hotel anywhere in the world.
Some hotels in certain countries will forward your luggage from one hotel to the next at no charge. I think you need to lurk less and get out more.
