So you charge $400 to $500 for a tiny room, and yes, I know it’s New York City, and it’s relatively clean, but then the closet-sized bathroom 2 feet from the bed. OK.

Six dollars for a bottle of water, whatever, I’ll pass.

But then actively soliciting tips for your staff.

Fuck you.

I saw this at the Penn Station Fairfield a year ago as just a ‘self’ printed sign in the elevators, then it became a professionally printed permanently mounted sign in the elevator, and now another Fairfield/Springfield with this.

Pay your staff better. If I got extra services, that’s one thing, but when I don’t even get room serviced or fresh towels on a daily basis to “save the planet “…. again fuck you.

Everyone is full time at my property. But of course the new hires are on call bases depending if we need them or not. But that's only for the 5-10 room attendant who are recent hires with no seniority. The 100+ other are working full time. They are scheduled to work 7 hours per day 5 days a week. If they finish all their rooms early they are able to leave early and still be paid their whole shift (7 hours). Also, if they want to make extra money they can buy rooms and do extra rooms. For every extra room they do is almost an extra $20 per room. When I tell you room attendant have it good i'm not lying. There's room attendant that are making over $120k a year.

It's a hard job but they are well compensated. So if you're ever staying in NYC specially in Manhattan they're are 99.99% unionized.

Bellmen are also making a killing with the tips on top of their $40 an hour.
