While "deep scanning" with a group in Seattle, I heard about a hotel that offers lonely travelers a goldfish to keep in their rooms. Here's a blurb from the Hotel Monaco:
A pet friendly Seattle hotel, the Hotel Monaco pampers pets as much as people.
Our pet friendly hotel in downtown Seattle takes care of all its guests in style, including our four-legged friends. A trend-setting hotel, the Hotel Monaco Seattle indulges our canine and feline guests from the moment you arrive, checking you in to our VIP register (very important pets, you know). Everyone gets a special treat during our evening turndown service. And we can even arrange for dog-sitting services and a personalized doggie itinerary to keep pooches happy while their owners are away. Fees vary based on the services requested.
To accommodate your canine companion in Seattle's rainy weather, the Hotel Monaco offers monogrammed dog coats, with the Hotel Monaco Seattle logo. If you choose to purchase one of these doggie coats, we will donate $10 from the sale to the King County Humane Society.
At Hotel Monaco Seattle, we really do take the term "pet friendly" to a whole new level. If Fido or Fluffy can't make the trip with you, we offer the original Guppy Love, a complimentary goldfish, along with fish toys, as your quiet companion while visiting our hotel. Our housekeeping staff will even feed and care for your fish companion; all you have to do is enjoy your new friend.
QUESTION: If you were a hotel manager, how else could you make lonely travelers feel cared for and appreciated?
