'It gets ugly behind the scenes': Top Flops Hotel Management Keeps Under Wraps

With its luxurious amenities, discerning clientele, and high expectations, managing a hotel can be a demanding endeavor, and oftentimes guests have no idea what really goes on behind the scenes. From unforeseen mishaps to logistical nightmares, there is no limit to the things that can go wrong in the realm of hotel management. We're talking maintenance, issues with staff, bigger issues with guests, weather conditions, or technology failures… there is not really a handbook that would cover it all.

Diplomacy, effective communication, adaptability, and good intuition are key factors in dealing with the above issues, but even when you're blessed with all that, you're still going to need the thick skin of an elephant to deal with some of the rough things you're bound to hurdle into. You might have a vivid imagination, and your thoughts may be wandering into the grueling depths of it at this moment, but we will let Reddit inform you.

Below you'll find a Reddit thread dedicated to replying to this question, 'People who work at super fancy hotels, what kind of stuff happens that management doesn't want people to know about?'. Some answers surprised us, while others were kind of obvious. Scroll down and check them out for yourself. For more like this, here is a Karen customer who attempted to get a front desk clerk fired after being refused service, or rather, to be checked in to the hotel thanks to their hideous attitude.
