How can the Hotels
concierge improve my stay in town?
Not all Hotels have a concierge, but
if they do, a good concierge can be very helpful. They are there to
make your Hotel stay extra special. If you havent been able to get
a good tee time or those reservations at the hot new restaurant, the
concierge may have the connections to make it happen. A concierge
works for tips and since they can provide such a wide variety of
services, there arent really standard tipping guidelines. Simple
requests can be rewarded with small tips, but more complex and
difficult requests should be rewarded accordingly.
