3. Tonight I Must Say Thank You

Last night I walked into my hotel room after a long, kind of frustrating, yet productive day at work to find this


laying on my bed along with a thank you note from the hotel management & concierge staff. 

I ♥ the hotel that we stay at during the week, I love the hotel manager, she's an absolute doll!  I love that when I arrive on Monday evenings, everyone and I seriously mean everyone welcomes me back to my home away from home with a smile.  I love that when I leave on Thursday mornings everyone says have a good weekend, we'll see you next week.  I love that once a few weeks ago I called room service to see if they had any cheesecake & was told no, cheesecake wasn't on their dessert menu, yet 20 minutes later a piece of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake was delivered to my room.  I love that I can walk into the hotel bar, sit down to chat with my coworkers, and minutes later have a chocolate martini in hand because all of the bar tenders know that's my drink of choice & that 1 perfectly prepared chocolate martini is enough to make me happy. I love that the hotel staff has dealt with me on my good days & bad days, but continue to treat me like I'm the most important guest they have. 

I text the picture above to some friends of mine & got a reply that said you're excited about that? You've literally stayed there every week this year & you're excited because you got a pillow with a monogrammed pillow case?

I'm excited because it made me feel special, important, like I am the only guest who matters.  It's totally the thought that counts & tonight I want to say thank you to all of the Marriott staff!!  I know that the NaBloPoMo theme "mitzvah" encourages us to do something nice for others, but I could not resist telling the world about the nice thing that was done for me!

@Soph! - I know right, who doesn't love feeling special?!

@Becca - It it extremely hard to find great customer service, but I can honestly say that except for my stay in the UK - Marriott has been great to me!

@Michelle - Me too; I don't think I'd make it through the week if I hated the hotel we stayed in!

@Laura - It was very nice of them! And they even offered to FedEx the pillow home to me!
