They don't
We were at Hard Rock in June, with no housekeeping trash was continually always in the hallways, but removed quickly. Trashcans around the area full many times, dirty/wet benches were a constant though. We were there 6 nights and the same dirty room towel stayed on the sidewalk near the Woodstock lawn.
I’ve been more recently. There was daily housekeeping in rooms, housekeeping responded very promptly to requests, and I saw no problems at all with waste bins or similar issues.
Not his salary, of course.
If Disney must triage, get a freakin’ daily cleaning at the Deluxe resorts. I don’t stay at the Grand but those rooms should have full cleanings. I get that impoverished people like me, slumming it at the Beach Club, might have to kill our own bed bugs, but at the Grand?!?!
I recently learned that I am the Magic, so I’ve been working on my own costume and will offer free hugs at MK Friday evening:
More likely, they saw the reduction in fuel costs, maintenance costs, and CM numbers. Saving so much for not moving people from their car to the gate? I can hear the buzz in the exec lunchroom now: "This is great! They walk miles in the park anyway. What's another 500 steps added to their total for the day? We'll call it our newest green initiative that also supports the 'healthy lifestyle' image we want to push. Win, win win!"
That’s good to hear. But did you need to request, or was daily service “normal” without making special requests? Because other national brands, franchised or not, are struggling all over the US. I almost get the impression that a well-oiled operation at Uni is the exception to the rule right now.
It’s the “Mickey Check” method of parking and transportation!
Oh, I know, every chain struggled. Jakes seems to be back to normal. It was my impression that daily housekeeping is the rule, but I always do a request-only system, even before the pandemic.
OK, than where is the cost cutting coming from? More grizzle in the hamburg's, fewer flushing toilets? They've already cut way back on the available pixie dust so it cannot be that.
Labor. There will be less hours scheduled.
Universal has never been shy of stratifying the guest experience based on what tier of hotel they're in. Portofino and Hard Rock got their services back a hell of a lot faster than Endless Summer or whatever they call it.
That was my experience at Caribbean Beach in April and Coronado Springs in September as well.
Fewer hours for part time staff.
So call um back with a certain number of hours and then changing that? Or is it a different group of cast members? Maintenance or hotel staff or fewer overseeing the attractions? Or were they called back with lesser hours?
Let's see, less hours scheduled, fewer staff working in locations. Vacationers need to pack more patience with slower service etc.
