It’s not often that I walk into a hotel room and am shocked (well, other than that time the child bandits broke into my room at the Sheraton Grand London), but that’s exactly what happened to me during a recent stay at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley (which I’ll be reviewing soon).
For example, as a Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador member, I get a welcome amenity more often than not. However, often it’s as simple as a bag of chips… I guess I appreciate the effort, though it sort of falls in the “why bother” category.
It consisted of a bottle of Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Brut, plus a trio of caviar tins from Calvisius, along with some accompaniments. This is without a doubt the welcome amenity that most exceeded my expectations in all my years of travel, and it was among the most impressive amenities I’ve received.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
