A HOTEL manager has revealed how guests can take advantage of their accommodation and get extra free things during their stays.
Getting freebies can make a trip away that little bit more special, particularly if you aren’t expecting it.

However, there’s a simple way in which hotel visitors can increase their chances of getting some preferential treatment from the staff in the place they’re staying.
Chintan Dadhich, general manager of the Conrad New York Downtown hotel, claimed that guests should always tell their hotel staff that they’re visiting for a special occasion.
He claimed that staff will go out of their way to make visits even more enjoyable if they think that their visitors are celebrating something.
He told Today:“We want to go above and beyond and make a memorable stay for our guests.
“These little nuggets … help us create some surprise and delight for our guests. So, we use them to our advantage to make sure that the guests leave happy.”
Chintan also recommends just asking for upgrades and said that if there’s one going, guests will often be given the better room with no extra cost.
He continued: “If the hotel rooms have an upgrade available, sometimes there might be a small charge attached with it, a lot of times they’ll just give it you. Asking never hurts.”
Other people have their own ways of getting better treatment when they check into hotels.
Devon and Betsy Fata shared a video on Tiktok revealing their hotel upgrade secrets, and all of them are very simple.
As well as just asking, as Chintan suggested, they also recommend asking for corner rooms and offering to review the accommodation online, particularly if it’s newly opened.
They said: “If you need a completely free upgrade, ask for a corner. Often these units are classified as the exact same type of room, but they can be several hundred feet bigger.
“And finally, use new hotels to your advantage. These hotels are rarely fully occupied but they’re always looking for guest reviews or social media exposure.
“Offer to leave a Google review in exchange for an upgrade.”
Meanwhile, a hotel owner has revealed the secret to scoring a free upgrade on your room.
And some hotel staff shared how guests can get upgraded for free by asking for a quieter room.
