It's funny and gives good insight in to how a customer might best navigate the hotel system. I was sort of embarrassed to realize all the times I should have tipped but didn't! Of course it's not Important Literature(tm) but I am giving it a high rating because it did exactly what it was supposed to...
I'm a sucker for "job" memoirs. This one shares the inner-workings of the "hospitality" industry, mostly from the perspective of someone who has spent many years working front desk, as well as stints in valet parking and managing housekeeping. In addition, the author shares interesting historical ...
Heads in Beds is supposed to be the Kitchen Confidential of the hotel world, full of tips on how to get upgrades and what not to say to bellmen and the people who check you in. Meh. I guess I don't travel enough to care about what hotel staff are really thinking. I always use the U-Scan at the groce...
Complete waste of ink and paper. Poorly written and totally tasteless on top of that dull, dull, dull. Take your hard earned cash somewhere else for a good read. On top of that the author is an asshole. https://www.facebook.com/JacobTomskyAuthor/posts/10203180727029496?stream_ref=10
Pros:* Great voice* Everything you've always wondered about during check in* Inside look at hotelsCons:* Everything you've always wondered about during check in* Moments of self doubt where you wonder if you were ever "that guest."I love these "behind the scenes" memoirs, like Kitchen Confidential a...
Heads in Beds is like lunch with a friend. You're not going to discuss anything super heavy, you're gonna laugh and talk shit about the people around you. Tomsky is a great storyteller. Sure, names are changed and things may be exaggerated, but you're still laughing.
What do you do when graduate with a philosophy degree? In Mr. Tomsky’s case you go into the hotel industry. People check into hotels all the time and probably never really think about what goes on behind the scenes. In this book the reader gets a peek behind the curtain. If you want to know how ...
This was a fun book. Tomsky can sure write dialogue, and he presents himself as a likable anti-hero kind of character. It's interesting to me to see behind the scenes in any profession, but one that I will rub up against every time I travel is even more interesting. Reading this book sort of made m...
What an interesting story. It turned out to be a lot different than I thought it was going to be. I had originally thought when I heard about this book that it was going to be about the disgusting things that go on in hotels, etc. But no, it's one guy's journey in the hotel industry. Which, turned o...
