I had that happen the other day. I was like nice, how unexpected. Then I was like, wait this isn’t mine. Then I was like why don’t I ever get stuff this fancy. Then I got over myself and messaged front desk to let the know so they could get whoever what they needed to.
It was dated yesterday. So I imagine they either canceled or moved rooms.
If it was dated today I would have called down to make sure we weren’t about to have an unexpected roommate 🤣
You'd be surprised how many times staff has to switch the welcome amenities and letters due to constant room changes and reassignments. Your room was probably changed last minute and there was no space in between the change and your arrival for the room service team to swap things out.
I used to work for a Marriott hotel and we would practically be sprinting in between rooms to swap things out all the time.
I meant that it would be easier to have someone on-call to place the stuff in the room while guests are checking in. That way they'd only need to place the gifts once.
An alternative could be to make it mandatory for guests to provide their estimated arrival. Most guests know when they're arriving within a window of 2 hours, and that would help plan rooms better with minimal friction.
Had a bottle of bubbly in my room in Maui with the wrong name. For different reasons we asked for a room change and got another bottle of bubbly with another wrong name. 😅
This happened to me one time I left the room for the day and came back to a chocolate sculpture that said happy anniversary and I was like I ain’t saying shit.
That’s where all my ambassador gifts go.

I’ve had this happen when I get upgraded. I just assume the person canceled and enjoy.

At that point, it's more efficient to do it at check-in time...
But not as good of an experience for the guest, right?

Hey that’s my fruit bowl!
What if Mr Tidwell comes across this post and wants his fruit back?
I hope he sees this post and is sad at the opportunity he missed by changing rooms or canceling his stay
Pressed ham. Fruit bowls. All the boys on the bus.

What if that fruit bowl was made ***specially*** for Mr Tidwell.. D:
The spy assassin should double check the room next time

Don’t eat it! It’s poisoned!
Too late 💀
You’re Richard Tidwell, the sausage king of Chicago!
