Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Step1

If possible, get to the hotel before you can check in. Tell the person or people working at the front desk that it is important that you be able to check in immediately. You will almost always be told that you cannot check in before the specific check-in time. This is a great first complaint to have regarding your hotel room.

Step2

When you check in, try to get the hotel to lower the rate of your room by telling the front desk that a family member or friend of yours got a great deal at the hotel. There is little chance that a hotel worker will ask for the name of the person.

Step3

Complain about smelling cigarette smoke either in your hotel room or on your floor. Whether there is actually cigarette smoke is irrelevant.

Step4

Chances are that if the hotel has a pool or a gym, there will be specific hours when either one will be closed. Let the hotel know about your displeasure regarding these hours. For example, you could say that you were working during the entire day and that you could only use the gym or pool at midnight.

Step5

Claim that you saw a cockroach in your room. If asked about it, angrily let the hotel know that you killed the cockroach and disposed of it.

Step6

Try to order room service late in the night. When you are told that the kitchen is closed, complain in same manner as you would about the gym or the pool.

Step7

If you try any of these and get nowhere, threaten to call the customer-service number. A hotel will do anything to prevent you from calling customer service, including giving you a discounted rate on your hotel room.

Tips & Warnings

Most of these complaints will have to be made when you check out of your hotel room. In order to get rid of you, the hotel will either give you a discount on your room or a cheaper, or even free, stay at a later date.
Remember to only do these if you are a good liar and, of course, if you have no moral obligations.
