Reservation or No Reservation?

11-07-2012, 07:28 PM

Hello All,

Seeing as I work for a hotel I am always amazed when people show up looking for a room on busy nights only to have to explain to them we are all filled up and the next place most likely to have a room would be 20 minutes down the road... Often times people get quite angry at me for having to tell them this...

When I travel, I make sure to always have a reservation, especially when I know it will be busy where I am going or have specific requests (smoking, ground-floor, ect)...

My question is, am I the exception here? or do a majority of you travel without a reservation?
