Why don t hotel rooms have microwaves anymore?


Why don t hotel rooms have microwaves anymore? Microwaves are typically absent from hotel areas due to concerns that they might be used to prepare food that isn't served there. However, most microwaves can cook food, and cross-contamination may occur if a microwave is used and subsequently abandoned.


Can you request a microwave in a hotel room?

But "let's get down to business." If you book a hotel room that doesn't have a microwave listed as an amenity, then I would advise you to contact the resort you're staying at and request a microwave in your room. You can ask Guest Services to make a notation on your Guest room file.


Can you bring a hot plate in a hotel room?

Do hotels have fridges and microwaves?

No not all. However, call the hotel and ask if you can get a room with both amenities; most likely there will be an additional charge for such. Should you opt for a suite (say if you're hosting a party during Origins or Marcon), definitely make sure both appliances come with the suite.


What do you say when you get to a hotel?

Usually, just say Hi, I'd like to check in, my name is xyz or Hi, i have a reservation for a room under the name xyz. Always bring some form of ID and if you booked yourself and had to put a form of payment, bring that with you. Then you're golden.
