        Great ideas. By the way, “tip” is an acronym for “to insure promptness”, so tipping before hand was the original idea.

        After my wedding, I checked in to my hotel in my wedding dress. I thought that would get me an upgrade, but it didn’t work!

        I booked a Best Western hotel online for our honeymoon and wrote in the comments when booking “so excited to stay here during our honeymoon” and they upgraded us to an absolutely ridiculous, gigantic suite.  So even the bargain hotels will try!

      • the international reviewer

        Although I’m suggesting to complain if it’s not working with asking. I do agree with you that you have to be nice. If you’ll complain and you will not do it politely you’re most likely to get a bad service because the employee might scared from you. You shouldn’t let them feel that you’re “Higher” than them and you should also start your complain by telling them about your good experiences in their hotel. However you should ensure to remind them few times during the conversation that the failure with the room affect on your experience and if you’ll do it right you should get the upgrade. Also don’t afraid or shame to complain. In hotels like Hilton or InterContinental it’s their job to make your stay the best, for this they are charging higher than other brands. If they didn’t provided you the service you’ve paid for (Which is a good stay) they will compensate you.  

        I’ll be happy if you can visit my blog which focusing on vacations and I also provide some tips on how to get an upgrade ;) . http://the-international-reviews.blogspot.coml/
