Default The funny requests hotel concierges put up with...!

Two concierges at a swanky New York City hotel have a blog... Telling about all the frustrating requests they get!

Sometimes, it's pretty funny...

Here are a couple I liked...

GUEST: We want to have Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Can you make us a reservation?
CONCIERGE: They don’t actually serve breakfast.
(Guest rolls eyes)
GUEST: Well, brunch then.


(In case you're not familiar, "Tiffany's" is an upscale jewelry store...! They don't actually serve breakfast - or brunch, for that matter! Apparently in the movie, Audrey Hepburn walks past the jewelry store window while eating donuts... That's where the name comes from...)

Here's another (remember, this is New York City)...

GUEST: We wanna do 2 things today: Eiffel Tower, and 9/11.

(That's gonna be a long walk!)

You can see their blog here...

Also, here's an article (with a few more selected quotes)...

Best wishes!
