This department as a whole is required to make the guest’s stays comfortable and pleasing. Any reasonable request must be fulfilled. But good service means more than fulfilling requests. Whenever and wherever possible, the staff should offer to do extra things for the guests. What is more, whenever there is an opportunity to “sell”, the staff should take it and suggest that guests use the hotel services as much as possible. They should make sure that they are really selling what the guest wants to buy.

Situation 1: The room attendant comes to make up the room. The guest, Mr. Green, doesn’t want the room cleaned right now, because he doesn’t feel very well.
