Give them decent tips.
Not only that, give them compliments and notice things about them that they appreciate being acknowledged
- tell them they have a great smile, that their service is above reproach and that they have been a total help to you.
People like to hear that they are helpful, good and special. , You are more likely to get VIP treatment if you are using more than just their accommodations service. , VIP treatment at your average run-of-the-mill budget hotel just doesn't feature.
