In this episode, I discuss memoirs of a recent stay in a distant hotel and the many nuances between today’s stay, that of 2019 and before, and even a few family vacations as a kid and their unforgettable Overnighters in a so-called “hotel”.
The hotel experience has changed over the years. Back in the day the staff at a hotel provided us with VIP services - fresh linen, clean beds, taking out your trash - It made us feel important, valued, like an executive. I have had many bad experiences at different hotels, but we can't blame the staff entirely. Guests have changed along with the times and so has their lack of gratuity.
Thanks for listening! I'm glad you're here!
...
A few of the issues I address in this episode -
- How service people have changed their behaviors and quality of services.
- How motel experiences are not that enjoyable as they were before.
- How people have changed.
- Why showing gratuity is important.
- Becoming a hero in someone's life.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
