I noticed a similar behavior with all the hotel h9usekeeprs in New York City. I’ve stayed at a number of places and it’s always the same. The housekeeping ladies are bullies.
It’s like this – they never show up to clean the rooms when you want. Since the pandemic, it is sporadic, some places won’t even bring clean towels or take the garbage unless you specifically ask for it. But either way, you never know when they are going to show up, but it’ s always at an inconvenient time.
The other cay I was out from 8 am to 5 pm, I only came back to send something via email that I couldn’t send from my phone. Just then the housekeeper showed up, I told her I needed a few minutes – five minutes and she could do the room. She then did what they all do. She stood there and sort of folded her arms, basically saying, “I’m here now, get out.”
I don’t get out, I never do. I tell them to go away. And they really are obstinate. Do they get paid per room that they clean?
But it’s the same at every place I’ve stayed. They stand there daring me to slam the door in their faces, or at least, shut the door politely.
