In my experience, most hotels have a mix of 
staff, some good, some bad.  I got lucky, the 
check-in agent at the hotel was very friendly and 
discussed the room choices with me before 
assigning me one.  I know this is just luck and 
the next agent might have been dreadful and 
making stuff up.  On those occasions when I was 
unhappy with my assigned room (e.g., non-smoking 
room that reeked of smoke, noisy, etc.) I would 
first call the front desk, and if that didn't 
resolve it, I'd talk to the duty manager.  I'd 
strongly urge that at any hotel rather than 
accepting being stuck in a lousy room and then 
vowing to never visit the property again.

So many hotels these days have such extreme 
water-saving showers that a plant mister would be 
more effective.  I wish someone would invent a 
hotel low-flow shower head with a "rinse" button 
that would increase the water flow to an 
effective rate but only while being pressed 
(reverting once you let go) as that would seem to 
me to solve both problems (not being able to 
rinse but wanting to save water).  Although, at 
this hotel, my room (lower floor West wing) has 
decent water in the shower.
