Does housekeeping know if you're in the room?


Does housekeeping know if you're in the room? Hotel maids are trained to be observant and aware of their surroundings. They know when a room is occupied or not, so they can tell if you have left your room. However, it's important to remember that hotel staff respect the privacy of guests and will never enter a guest's room without permission.

Do hotels check how many people stay in a room?
