I normally just verbally ask staff, "can you just write my room number down and not say the floor out loud." I don't want random people who happen to be around the front desk counter at the same time knowing what room I'm in... come on.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoIt's been a long time since I've been at a hotel that spoke my room number aloud. I haven't had to ask.
- graderjs 4y agoOh yeah? It's been a long time since I've stayed in a hotel. Pandemic. They say it. They pretty consistently say the floor too. I guess we travel different places. Better to be safe tho. Once they say it you can't put it back in. Maybe you don't travel that much?
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoWell, no, I don't travel that much, but in the last three years I've probably stayed at 15 different places. I don't recall any of them saying the room number out loud. (Not a statistically valid sample, and all that...)
- graderjs 4y ago3 years 15 different different places. That's quite a lot, especially during pandemic. About the same as me. You may not have been paying attention. I think people don't think about these things because they don't think it's important. It's hard to remember something that you don't care about.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoNo, I notice, because I find it a bit jarring. When I was a kid, they'd tell you your room number. Now they write it down and slide the paper at me, and I notice that.
