- 8If the guest says they will not be paying by credit card, we can ask them, if they are paying cash, if they can leave a deposit.We can do this simply by saying, "May I please have your passport and method of payment?" If we are in the United States, we'll probably ask directly for a credit card, since most hotels are booked wit a credit card guarantee.
- 9This is not a necessary step if we are able to locate the guest's reservation with the name on their passport. However, if we cannot locate the guest's reservation, we can simply say, "I apologize. I'm not able to locate your reservation. Do you have a confirmation letter?" In this case, they can provide a confirmation letter. Then we can find the reservation in the system, hopefully, through other details, such as the confirmation number that should be listed in the confirmation letter.If we have any trouble finding the guest's reservation in the system, we may ask them any additional questions, or we can directly ask them for their confirmation page.
- 10If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please leave them in the space below.This concludes today's presentation on what materials and information is needed from a hotel guest when they arrive to check in.
