Would you stay in a hotel?

[jules1970]

Dear Business fellows

This virus has changed so many things in our lives, work and businesses too. One business that has been unfortunately affected is hotels. Hotels play an important part of our personal lives as well as businesses. Our yearly holidays and businesses trips we use to book without any further thought may now be a different prospect.

What's your concerns?

Would I stay in a hotel?
Depends who's asking.

I've got the place, if you've got the time honey!

 

[Mr D]

Major concerns are price and safety.
No plans for at least a year to stay in any hotel. If I have to travel 8 hours back home that day then so be it - less risky.

 

[Mister B]

Within the Uk, I have no qualms at all about staying in a hotel. Whether I will or not, remains to be seen.

Worldwide though, especially in Asia where I tend to travel for business, I modt certainly wouldn't. Far too many risks.

 

[simon field]

No concerns here, just have to take sensible precautions.

This virus ain’t going away ya know!

 

[antropy]

I agree with @Mister B. In the UK and even Europe I would but 100% not in Asia, USA or South America! Alex

Depends on the hotel, there are plenty in the UK and Europe I would not stay in if you paid me.

I would be very wary in Bojo's Britain but Japan, Thailand and many other asian countries I would be happy.

 

[ecommerce84]

We’ll be in one within weeks of them reopening.

I don’t have any major concerns, you’re more likely to catch it in Tesco than a half decent hotel.

Asia, ? they seem to have handle on it, was in Singapore just before this kicked off and they were way ahead of the curve

Britain handling it? Not so much..

I'm not so sure about that. I wear gloves in the supermarkets and steer clear of other people which is something you can't really do in a hotel

Lock the door when you are in your room.

 

[Mr D]

Lock the door when you are in your room.

And the housekeeping staff can bring the virus in for you....

What areas of the hotel would concern you the most? And if you could would you prefer a express check in straight to your allocated room?

 

[Mr D]

No idea what risk check in would give - my experience of check in suggests that would be the least problematic area.
Bedroom, bathroom, lift, doors. Eating area.

 

[billybob99]

No, I've got a house.

 

[Scalloway]

My comment on another similar post has dissapeared which was

A number of hotels have been used to house homeless people through the pandemic. They seem to have avoided any outbreaks as far as I am aware.

To which I got the reply

Yes, but they have all stayed in lockdown. Hotels will see people come and go often?

Yes but what about the staff? I believe that quite a lot of adjustments had been made to avoid any infection.

 

[Mr D]

Do not know about elsewhere but locally the homeless were in lockdown not isolation.
They could come and go from the hotel like anyone else. Besides, hotel booze is expensive and tobacco harder to scrounge.

 

[simon field]

The sound advice (to all involved) is as follows:

1) Take sensible precautions

2) Don’t pick your nose

I do respect other people's opinions but the blanket statement that hotels in the UK are safer than hotels elsewhere needs to be considered...
Stay in a 5-star hotel in Asia and you will see that their service and cleanliness are second to none.
In general, I'd be more worried about the quality of the hotel than the actual city or country it is located in.
Another important point is how you get from the airport to the hotel.
Taking the underground and staying in a 5-star hotel would probably be more dangerous than renting a car and staying in a good 3-star hotel.

 

[Lucan Unlordly]

When the beaches are so crowded that consideration is given as to whether they should be closed. When 2,000 Liverpool fans descend on Anfield. When thousands across the world put protest before health, any hotel with some hand sanitiser and a pack of wet wipes will be just fine.

A friend who is a gite owner in France says she now does a thorough clean 2 days before any guest arrives which means she is losing 2 days rental in every 9 days.

 

[Mr D]

And think of the benefit from being able to say that.

Would anyone want to stay if she didn't clean at all? I'm sure some will be driven off by those who aren't protecting customers.

Some hotel chains are leaving rooms empty for 24hrs between guests. They do a deep cleaning after the guest departs and leave the room empty for 24hrs just in case.

Absolutely

Yes hotels are doing that here in UK. And yes every day is losing money. And still paying costs!

Everyone should respect people's opinions. Yes the journey to the hotel is an issue

Who said the virus was?

 

[fisicx]

Who's is picking their nose, explain?

It's about the personal hygiene of the guests and how they use the facilities.

 

[Darren_Ssc]

Which hotels are open here?

 

[jules1970]

Which hotels are open here?

Not till 4th July!

What areas in the hotel would you be reluctant to use?

 

[fisicx]

What areas in the hotel would you be reluctant to use?

Anywhere that other guests have access to. Especially the dining room.

Are you in the hotel trade?

 

[jules1970]

I buy and sell commercial properties for hotel and hospitality industry. Where hotels been one the most affected I'm helping hotel owners and CEOs gather guests/public opinion to improve the hotel structure

A member was making a unrelated comment. So please ignore that one.

I have to do 30 posts before I can put the link on. Will do once I get there.

Depends who's asking.

Least your comment is one of the funniest!
