Our experience overall was fantastic, wonderful. All except my interaction with housekeeping. I understand why she made the request, AND, I am the guest, and they can make up/clean the room, whenever they can. I was told I need to "put out the make room sign" EARLIER. Really? How about you leave for the day, when your shift is over, and if I'd like my room made up, I'll make arrangements with the front desk. Front desk can then have the evening staff clean my room. Or....you don't have to clean my room at all.
I am just not used to housekeeping telling me HOW I should have my stay. It is ridiculous. I wouldn't have been upset if they didn't clean my room for the day because I left later than normal (I left my room at 2pm). But, after she pulled me aside to tell me this, I was annoyed, not necessarily angry, but definitely not happy.
Maybe tell the guests that after a certain time, that housekeeping will be gone for the day, and the room will be made up the next day, from the getgo? Thus, no need for that lecture, conversation, from housekeeping. That's all.
Rest of the staff? Thank you so very much for you being you! I would definitely come back and stay at Trendy the next time I'm in Athens! Love the rest of the staff, love the location, just great experience overall.
