So, first off, Apologies for possibly posting in the wrong forum. It was between this or Making a Living, and this was deemed more appropriate.
Was talking with some old friends that I'd recently reconnected with. We were just shootin the wind and we got talking odd jobs that we'd done for in'and'out work. Well, one of these dudes had worked in the Hampton Inn Hotel system.
So turns out Hampton Inn instituted a "100% satisfaction Guaranteed Policy "after their 25th anniversary. If you are IN ANY WAY dissatisfied with the room or service given, they will fully comp your room, even if you've already completed your stay. Whether it be that the room was too cold, or the towels were dirty, the TV didn't work. ANYTHING. Just go up to the front desk and tell them your experience was bad, and they are required to completely refund your room. Even better is the fact that you can do it multiple times and no one will bat an eye. All Hampton hotel owners are comp'd for any customer service stuff like this by the parent company, because it's cheaper and faster than conducting an investigation as to whether anything was actually wrong. He said he had regulars come in with something like 50 'dissatisfied room' complaints but they just don't do anything about it since it's cheaper and more efficient to just comp their room.
TLDR You can stay in Hampton Hotel rooms for essentially free, wherever there is a Hampton.
Cheers Ya'll.
