I came back to my hotel room at the Marriott last night, and the voicemail light on the phone was blinking. No surprise, I typically don't have my room made up, and housekeeping will call and leave a message to make sure I don't need clean towels, since it's normal to use 101 towels a day.
I hit the big red flashing button, and was told I didn't have any voicemail messages. I did on the other hand, have a text message. Press zero to hear your text messages.
I obligingly hit zero (anything to turn off that light), and I'm transferred to someone at the front desk who proceeds to read me a note from housekeeping, about towels – and shampoo. I get hints.
Note to Marriott – it's less of a text message and more of a live action voicemail.
- four full size towels, four medium towels and two washcloths. [back]
