The Hotel Wake-up Call Gets Personal
Here's a wake-up call: The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the morning. They'll send an actual human being to your room. Don't worry. They won't come in and kiss you good morning.
Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built-in alarm clocks. Here are some examples. At the Wolcott Hotel, if a wake-up call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At the Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up.
Hotels have always taken the wake-up call seriously. If you don't get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you won't have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still want to have an option of a wake-up call. A study of 285 guests at Crown Plaza found that 53% considered a wake-up call very important.
In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you'd get was a ring and silence. In the ever-competitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now getting creative with the wake-up call. Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices. And more hotels will go back to the old in-person system of wake up calls.
A. But they might bring you coffee.
B. If you don't answer, you'll get a wake-up knock.
C. Crown Plaza, for instance, has a wake-up call guarantee.
D. But the wake-up call became less personal over the years.
E. The hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wake-up calls each day.
F. The human wake-up call is a way to personalize a guest's stay.
G. Some guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off.
