Alpo Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Seen this both ways in books and movies and TV. I call the hotel. "Is Hardpan Curmudgeon staying there?" YES SIR. "What room is he in?" HE IS IN 472. Or I'M SORRY, WE DON'T GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CONNECT YOU?, Which lets Hardpan be the dummy that gives his room number to the burglar. So which were they more likely to do? Give the number, or refuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Just follow policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Refuse to divulge the room number, but offer to take a message The house may even refuse to confirm or deny that he is even staying there. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 My daughter worked as a desk clerk. Found out there was a “game” going in a room. Decided it would not look good when she applied for her bar license if they got raided, so she quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 We've asked at hotel rooms before if so and so was staying there for a cowboy shoot. The clerks have always given me their room number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Pretty sure most hotels/motels have a policy about giving room numbers out. They’ll connect you but not tell you what room someone is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have been in hotels for work related stuff and when I asked about a cow-orker, the desk always gave me their room number. Same is true with a fancy place where we went for a wedding and I was looking for family. In both cases I always assumed they gave it up because they could tell we were in the same party. That's what I have to tell myself to get to sleep at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punxsutawneypete Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I am finding when I check in at motels now the desk clerk does not even speak my room number, just writes it on the envelope for the key card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Clay Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I did prisoner intake at the county lockup a few times. Never got asked if someone was in cellblock B or the like. Of course, never got cavity searched at the Embassy Suites either. Life is full of trade offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
