			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I usually put up my &#8220;Privacy Please&#8221; hanger on my door handle at the hotels I stay at because they always want to clean when I&#8217;m still sleeping and because I really don&#8217;t need my room cleaned every day.  When I have that sign up, most hotels will slip something under the door telling me that I can call the front desk and ask them to clean the room if I want it cleaned later in the day.   This hotel here in Norfolk I <a href="http://blog.edhayes.us/2007/10/11/springhill-suites/">blogged</a> about the other day has this letter that has been copied so many times, it&#8217;s getting to the point that they need to replace it.  I think it&#8217;s very unprofessional.  Take a look at it, this scan looks EXACTLY  like it does in person:</p>

<p>I have been staying at the SpringHill Suites in Norfolk the past few weeks, and I must say, I am impressed.  The first few weeks in Norfolk VA I stayed at the TownePlace Suites, and I was not that happy about the cleanliness and quality of their hotel for the price I was paying.  I have the SAME rate at the SpringHill Suites as I did at the TownePlace Suites.  I tried to negotiate with the owner of the first hotel to get a better rate, but after 3 attempts, they never contacted me back.  So I gave up.  If you are ever in Norfolk VA looking for a hotel, I highly recommend the SpringHill Suites at 6350 Newtown road.</p>
