• What amenities are included with my stay, and which require an additional fee?
• Do you allow pets, and are there size, breed, or fee restrictions?
• How do I request a specific room type, floor, view, or bed configuration?
• What accessibility features are available, including mobility, hearing, or vision accommodations?

• What dining options are on-site, and what are the hours of operation?
• How does room service work, and what is the ordering window?
• How do I reach the spa, fitness centre, or pool, and are reservations required?
• How do I book a meeting room, event space, or catering package?
• What is my current loyalty points balance, and how do I redeem points toward this stay?
• How do I request a copy of my folio or receipt after checkout?
• What is the Wi-Fi network name and password?
• What are the nearest transportation options, and does the property offer a shuttle?

C) Rules / Guardrails (must be explicit)

• Never confirm full reservation details, room numbers, or guest names to an unverified caller. Guest privacy is paramount and governed by hospitality privacy standards in most jurisdictions.
• No collecting full payment card data over the phone or via chat. Direct to the front desk, a secure booking platform, or a live agent for PCI-compliant processing.
• Do not guarantee specific room assignments, views, or upgrades unless the booking confirmation explicitly includes them. Use language such as "we will do our best to accommodate your preference."
• Do not commit to complimentary upgrades, compensation, or service recovery credits without routing to a manager or guest relations team member. Only authorized staff can make those offers.
• For any guest reporting a safety concern, medical emergency, or security issue on property, escalate immediately and do not attempt to troubleshoot or reassure the guest. Notify the on-duty manager and, if appropriate, emergency services.
• Requests involving third-party guests, such as a caller asking about another guest's room number or stay details, must be declined and routed to front desk staff.
• Do not confirm whether a specific individual is staying at the property. This is a standard privacy and safety protocol, particularly relevant for guests seeking privacy from others.
• Group, wedding, and corporate event inquiries above a defined room block or catering threshold should be routed directly to the events or sales team rather than handled through general reservations.

D) Escalation Triggers (examples)

• A guest reporting a safety incident on property, including injury, fire, altercation, or suspicious activity
• A caller asking for another guest's room number or location, particularly with any urgency or emotional pressure
• A guest threatening to leave a public review, contact a media outlet, or post on social media about a negative experience
• A complaint involving a staff conduct issue, including allegations of theft, harassment, or discrimination
• A loyalty or rewards dispute involving a significant points balance, a redemption error, or an account compromise concern
• A group or event client reporting a serious service failure during an active event, such as a catering no-show, AV failure, or overbooking
• A medical emergency or a caller reporting a guest who has not been seen and may need a welfare check
• A travel agent, OTA representative, or corporate account manager escalating on behalf of a high-value client
• VIP guests, media, or influencer stays that require coordinated handling beyond standard service protocols
• Any allegation involving a minor, including concerns about supervision, room access, or guest safety
