At a beach - side hotel, a guest walked up to the receptionist and asked if there were any mermaids in the ocean near the hotel. The receptionist played along and said that they sometimes saw them early in the morning. The guest got really excited and woke up early every day during his stay to look for mermaids. When he finally realized it was a joke, he still thought it was a very funny experience.
Once, a guest at a hotel asked the receptionist if the hotel had a pool. The receptionist, with a straight face, said yes. But when the guest got to the 'pool area', it was just a small inflatable pool for kids. The guest was so shocked and came back to the reception laughing, and the receptionist couldn't help but laugh too.
I recall a hotel where the room key cards were constantly malfunctioning. I went back and forth to the front desk three times in one day to get new ones. But the funniest part was that the front desk clerk started to recognize me and would joke that I was trying to collect all the key cards. And then there was a mix - up with the room service order. I ordered a burger but got a pizza instead. They apologized but we all had a good laugh about it.
Well, there was a hotel where a couple checked in. They accidentally locked themselves out on the balcony while trying to take a romantic photo. They had to shout for help until a maid passing by noticed them. It was quite a hilarious situation.
Sure. Once I was staying in a hotel and when I opened the minibar, there was a little note from the previous guest saying 'Enjoy the treats, but don't blame me for the calories!'. It made me laugh out loud.
Sure. Once, a hotel worker was showing a guest to their room. The guest asked where the nearest ice machine was. The worker confidently pointed in a direction and said 'Just down that hall'. But when the guest went there, it was actually a storage closet. The worker had gotten confused and they both had a good laugh about it later.
I heard a story where a housekeeper found that a guest had left a note asking to leave the 'collection' in the room as it was. When she looked closer, she saw that the guest had been collecting little souvenirs from every place they visited and arranged them in a really odd but interesting pattern on the dresser. It was like a mini - museum in the hotel room.
Once, a guest came to the front desk and asked if the hotel had a pool on the roof. When the front desk clerk said no, the guest insisted that he saw it in the brochure. After some confusion, it turned out he was looking at a picture of the building next door's rooftop pool.
Sure. One time, a guest came to the front desk and asked for a wake - up call at 'the crack of dawn'. The front desk clerk, being a bit of a joker, said 'We can't guarantee the crack will be on time, but we'll do our best!' The guest burst out laughing.
I know of a case where a business traveler arrived at a hotel. He was in a hurry and asked the receptionist if the Wi - Fi password was the same as his last visit. The receptionist, who didn't recognize him, said 'Sir, this is your first time here.' The traveler was so embarrassed and started laughing at his own mistake. The receptionist joined in, and it was a really light - hearted moment.
A group of friends checked into a Pinoy hotel for a vacation. One of them was really into cooking and brought a portable stove. He decided to cook some local Pinoy food in the room. Soon, the whole floor smelled like adobo. The hotel staff initially thought there was a fire but when they found out what was going on, they just shook their heads and laughed at the creativity of the guest.
There was a hotel where a guest asked for extra pillows at midnight. The sleepy - eyed staff member not only got the pillows but also added a little note saying 'Sweet dreams! We hope these pillows make you float on cloud nine.' It was such a simple yet funny and sweet gesture that the guest remembered it for a long time.
