My husband & I were in Phoenix for an extra night due to a cancelled flight. The airline suggested the Hampton Inn on South 48th Street. The shuttle driver was very nice.About a half hour after we checked in, the phone rang. We were puzzled, as no one could possibly know where we were. It was the desk clerk, asking us how we liked the room. I've never had this happen at any hotel before [even Hampton Inn's at other locations]. A few hours later, we heard noise by the door of our room, and found a copy of the bill had been slipped under the door. At every other hotel I've stayed at, I've gotten this paperwork while checking out, or occasionally, while checking in.At 8:30 am, a knock at the door from housekeeping woke us from a sound sleep. Check out was at noon, and there was no "Do Not Disturb" sign available for us to use. I've never before stayed at a hotel for a single night where the housekeeping staff showed up before check out time. They knew we were checking out that day, and the room would have to be completely stripped at that time, so what was the rush? And if early-morning housekeeping is the practice at this hotel, why no "Do Not Disturb" signs for guests who prefer to actually sleep in the room they've rented?One of the things I normally find enjoyable about hotel stays is the pleasure of being undisturbed in a private space. I felt that this enjoyment was violated. The idea of hotel staff actually waking up guests hours before check out time a startling novelty.It was impossible to feel comfortable in this room. Romance was out of the question.
