Did you ever want to ask a hotel General Manager the best way to get a good rate? How to get an upgrade? Do you wonder if they clean the throw pillows? How much to tip the housekeeper? The oddest thing a hotel guest left behind?
In this episode (with lots of laughs as well as loads of info) we talk with four hotel GMs from top hotels around the U.S. They cover questions and offer memories about their hotels: from ghosts, to celebs, to favorite personal memories.
