I completed my first hotel with True Guest a few weeks ago at a luxury hotel in Boston for $100 + reimbursement. There was so much work involved that I wasn't able to enjoy myself at all, except for dinner. And that was with my husband helping me by taking a lot of the photos! We checked in at 3:30 and I wrote about bell service, valet, check in and housekeeping until after 7pm. We then went to dinner. I came back and worked on the reports for dinner, concierge, having something sent up from guest services and the hotel's housekeeping until 12:30am. Got up at 7:30am and continued working. Ordered room service and wrote about that and the wake up call, room service, and breakfast. Checked out. Went home and finished writing fora couple more hours about check out, valet, and bell service. The MSC had waived the bar/lounge requirements or there would have been more!
To be fair, this was my first hotel so I was probably a bit slow. However, it didn't seem worth it to me. I don't understand why people would do this. I worked the entire time and couldn't enjoy myself at all. Maybe I did more than expected? I'd love to hear how people that do this all the time are able to enjoy themselves...
For what it's worth, I had also heard negative things about Roldan at True Guest, but my experience with him was great. He answered all my questions and thanked me at the end for a good review. I didn't have any questions or need to do any rewrites. I would work for him again if the job made sense to me.
