Hotel question!

 Hi guys.

 I've noticed that a big price difference in whether "one or two" guests when booking/searching hotels in Wuhan. I would not assume Hong will spend any nights with me, but then if she does and we get confronted...a big time loss of face?

Arnold:
I have always booked for just myself everytime, even though Qing always stayed with me... I never seen a problem with Hotel/Staff checking how many are sleeping in. I did stay at only western hotels though, so might be different in local's.

fivetrout:
OK thanks Arnold. Just booked the Dorsett in Wuhan with a king bed and separate couch in other room (for me) haha

Willy The Londoner:
Outside of the USA some hotels cater for single people and a 'single' rooms means that the chances are that the room just has a single bed.  UK in particular, at smaller hotels, have these.

But never come across that in China.  What does happen when arriving at some hotels that you have booked on line is the cancellation request.  The hotel reception may ask you to cancel your booking and then they will give you the same room at a slight discount. That saves them paying commission to the online booking agent. So in the Chinese way you both save!

Funny you mentioned that Willy. When I wanted to up-grade to VIP level (Happy Hour was included) from regular room, they would/could not do it at the Desk. They made me get on a PC and re-do it from there myself. Thought that was strange, I'm right there and they said NO. If Reservations made on line, they will not touch it.
