1. Free water bottles - if the hotel has a gym, they should have bottled water provided there (plus fruits!). If not, the front desk might provide water, or certain hotels (like Starwood hotels) will provide complimentary water that might not be obviously marked as free.
2. Amenities - most hotels will provide an assortment of amenities you might not know, such as deodorant, tampons, shaving kits, sewing kits, makeup mirrors, slippers, even random items like fans and extra chairs... just ask!
3. Free fridge - if the hotel charges for fridges, if you just tell them you use it for medication or use it to store baby milk, they will give it to you free of charge. Not that you should lie...
4. Late checkouts - I used to be scared of staying in the room any second after check-out time, but from working in a hotel, I realised (especially if the hotel is huge), nothing happens if you stay after check-out time. If you leave the DND (do not disturb) sign on and they can hear you in the room, the room attendant/housekeeper will not bother you. They're used to having people stay in the rooms longer than they should. I wouldn't push it past a few hours, but I know from experience that there are more important things for front desk/housekeeping to worry about than to make sure you're charged for staying an extra hour.
5. To get a higher floor/better room/"upgrade" - guests at my hotel would always get moved to a better room/floor if they complained about the cleanliness or view of their room, even if they weren't very legitimate complaints. And if a hotel is overbooked with a certain room type, you might get an upgrade.

That's all I can think of for now!

Sales teams have targets is because sales team and GMs have direct bookings targets. The reason that hotels match the prices of hotel comparison sites is because they’d rather have the direct booking than lose money to Agoda or Trivago.

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!
