[QUOTE=DaGentleman;1553534]I would disagree with your generalised comment about landing up on companies expenses and lacking class. I quite agree however that they do have a code of conduct and the extra friendly behaviour is a part of the hotel management training that they undergo. But I must mention however that there are surprises. Not necessarily in the spas, but there are strong chances of laying the staff there and I'm not talking thru my ass. Secondly some 5 stars also do have connections, very discreet of course and only for prelivedged and / or known regular customers. So lets not generalise. I am of course not saying that it is as easy as walking into NL and you surely need an eye to spot the added service and the craft to work your way through without getting your reputation whacked.[/QUOTE]I agree. There was no need to bring stuff about lacking class and company expenses. I've seen mostly the businesmen with lot of money to spend flirting around at such hotels. Hence class isn't defined by who pays for ones hotel stay. I agree that staff training educates them to behave friendly with customers. But I am sure most of the members here could differentiate flirting from "extra friendliness". Not saying that it's something in every hotel or every staff does it. But it happens. From personal experience - I keep travelling to Mumbai a lot, and it increased since I started my business. This hotel I stay at I saw change in behaviour of staff from friendly to flirty since I started paying for my expenses on my own. Maybe because they knew I was running my own show now probably leading to more money to spare. Or probably it's because I became a regular. So when a staff shows you the room, turns up the coditioning and says do let me know if you are feeling hot, with a smirk on her face, I do not think it's her training.
Furthermore multiple times there have been raids at 5 star hotels where models / actresses have been caught in a sex racket. Do you think running s racket is possible without hotel's knowledge? It's just that such things at 5 stars are very discreet. They provide such services only to reliable and old customers.
