Holy shit. I work in a hotel, our executive housekeeper would lose. his. shit. over something this. I hope they were charged out the ass.

I can contribute some hotel horror that isn't con related, if anyone is interested. People can be fucked up when they don't have to clean up their mess.

[Anonymous No.9521563]

Honestly the worst I personally experienced was some rando guy "manscaping" in the shower and not cleaning up.

Worst I've heard from friends is the day after a con my friend saw a guy sitting outside his hotel room with an icepack to his head and hotel staff wheeling a toilet with a shattered bowl out of the room on a cart.

Absolute worst I've heard about (though not con related) was someone living in the hotel room and when they finally left, the whole place was covered in fast food trash and literal shit. I remember seeing pictures but I can't find the story anywhere. I think it was an Imgur or Leddit story.

>>9521542
I just assume parents paid for the room, dropped their kids off, and left. At least, that's my hope because it means those kids are getting they ass beat when the parents find out from the hotel.

This is nightmare fuel.

If the hotel I work at ever holds an anime con I'm going to be keeping tabs on what weebs room is whos.

That way I can name & shame when the time comes.

[Anonymous No.9521574]

Nowhere near that level of WTF, but a while ago, my boyfriend and I shared a hotel with another couple we know fairly well. When we left to go to the con for the day, they would just leave their suitcases and crap on their side totally open and in the way of housekeeping getting around their bed. It really bothered me, and I would try to say stuff like "oh I'm just gonna move this out of the way for housekeeping..." but they never got the hint. Ever. It was just so inconsiderate, it really bugged me. We're not gonna be rooming with them again...

[Anonymous No.9521601]

I roomed with a few seagulls like 5 years ago and the room "owner" refused room service the entire con so trash was flowing out of the trash cans and all the towels were used by 2+ people since we were room stuffing.
I will never forget the moment I walked into that room after everyone left. There was so much trash and it was everywhere. On the beds, on the floor, on the desk, you name it.

[Anonymous No.9521618]

shit like this also makes it so

>nonchalant about it "yeah sure, if you have to charge it's fine"

There's actually a note on his profile to make a manager aware if he's ordering food. Yes, he's still allowed to stay with us.

I wrote out my two most detailed ones, I switched from operations to revenue a bit ago so I can't remember everything right now. I'm going to ask the executive housekeeper if he can remember any insane stories I might be forgetting and write them out

There's other reasons we'd rather not room with them, but none of them are relevant to this topic, so I didn't mention them (personal hygiene issues, snoring, etc). They're not newbies to hotels in the slightest, they're in their 30s and go to several cons a year. But sure, call me petty if you want. I still like them just fine as friends, but I'd rather not room with them.

My managers have all been amazing, and I'm lucky enough to count a lot of my colleagues as good friends. The executive housekeeper used to be one of my managers when I first started, and he's one of the most kindhearted individuals I've ever met. In a way, you almost get used to the insanity and go with the flow. Shared misery and insanity grows friendship like nothing else!

At my last property, there was a time when we were running obscenely low rates. Like, $79 third party rates that included breakfast. They were hurting. These deals did not attract families as management had hoped.
>had drug addicts claim we needed to pay them for cleaning supplies they allegedly bought because their room was sooo filthy... AND breakfast for the inconvenience
>had a guest try to get several days comp'd because "housekeeping put a condom on his pillow to embarrass him since they didn't like him". He threw the condom at me.
>a prostitute tried to steal a guys money without performing, they beat the shit out of each other in the lobby. She'd bashed him in the head with a wine bottle in the room to try to run for it. Blood everywhere.
>mom screamed at me because there was a Persian New Year's Eve party at the property and people were having sex in the parking lot and smoking everywhere (my manager actually had me put on gloves and pick up cigarette butts off the front drive that next morning), as if I was out there having sex too

The prostitutes were actually typically the nicest guests during that period. Very low maintenance and spent a ton of money at the bar.

My worst experience were usually caused by a former boss, not the hotels fault.

Sent me to a con six hour's drive away and give me no credit card info to give to the hotel. Had to scramble on the phone for an hour until her husband finally answered and faxed the credit card info to the hotel so I could get into my room.

Also sent a coworker and I to a con a few hours flight away, and forgot to give us CC info for the motel we were staying at the night before our flight back home. My coworker had to pay for the room and made our boss pay him back.

Non boss related but was chilling with a friend and their roomies. The guys were wrestling on the bed and one broke his nose. Blood on white bedding. We managed to wash the blood out with cold water and vodka.

Another case, a different friend and her roomies ended up in a room with MOLD in the bedding.

Hotel tried to say it wasn't there. One of the roomies had to pull a family name in who is part of a BIG corporate company to get the hotel to transfer them to a new room.

Also recently stayed at a Vegas hotel. If you ever wonder why the circus circus is so damn cheap. The rooms are literally on par with a cheap motel. Our room had peeling wallpaper on the window sill. Burnt out lamp, and there was MOLDY food in the buffet.

[Anonymous No.9521751]

I've got two very minor stories compared to these ones.

One was the hotel gave us a room someone was already in. We just assumed it was empty so we bust it open and my friend opening the door shouted some stupid quote (early con days) only to have a naked man scream "what the fuck" as his girlfriend is trying to cover up. He screams at us through the door, my friend is freaking out, (she was 18 and hadn't seen a dude naked before) I have to calmly tell the dude to calm down cause it's the hotel's fault not ours. Hotel only comp'd us some sodas and 2 mini bags of chips.

2nd one
It was about 2 am and my group was all getting ready for bed, lights are out, tv is super low. We hear a knock at the door and think it's our friend who was gonna room with someone else.
Nope it's a drunk girl. She just walks right into our room and tries to climb onto our air mattress. "dude who moved our beds?" It took 2 friends 10 minutes to get her out of the room, and then another 20 to take her to the lobby to try and get her to the right room.

Because of all the horror in the thread I'm gonna share a short funny one.
It's one of the last cons of Sac Anime at the woodlake hotel. We have a mini grill for hot dogs and brought a ton. It's saturday night and we realize we have a good 20+ hot dogs left. It's about 1 am, we start grilling these hot dogs outside our room by the pool. Friend doing the cooking just starts offering random people from the rave hot dogs. We made like 15 friends that night. I miss the old hotel a lot

This didn't happen at a con, but on a large school event where we had to stay at a hotel for a few nights, one of the guys' rooms decided to fill plastic Easter eggs with Cheez-its and throw them at eachother like grenades all night, among other messes. They made no effort to clean it up whatsoever and the hotel managers were understandably upset. The entire group (over 90) had to wait on the buses for over an hour while the school faculty made the four people responsible clean it up.

>I'm a bulimic but don't binge eat

I have rules about binging. Main one don't let other people be effected by fucking gallons of puke.

I get that when you're younger sometimes you have to keep it in bags to dispose of later to not get caught by parents but this guy sounds like he was surrounding himself in it as some trophy shit.

I can't think of why else he would keep it around and not just flush it? Usually you don't want people you'd run into again knowing about stuff like this but he was cool with people dealing with the aftermath?

[Anonymous No.9521845]

>>9521829
Yeah, this seems like a really strange thing to do. I wonder if he sneaked in some hookers or something? Maybe he has a puke fetish and he was paying them to do it, because if he wasn't getting off on it somehow, I can't understand how any bulimic could be so nonchalant about leaving puke all over the place...

I've got Atypical Anorexia (one of those EDNOS/OSFED disorders) and reading shit like this just blows my fucking mind. When I binge it's usually not much more than the average junk food hungry person would eat, and I'm very anal about purging. Afterwards I'm way too sick to eat. I've been in Golden Coral with my husband (he likes it, I think it's gross desu) and there's this lady there who eats and eats and then purges loudly in the bathroom. Another guy was thrown out one because he had been there all day binging. ED is such a private and personal thing to me, the people make me sick. The cardinal rule of ED to me is not involving innocent bystanders in your disorder.

>One was the hotel gave us a room someone was already in

This happened to me once at Colossalcon. We were checked into our room at a con when someone we didn't know unlocked the door and walked in. Cue mass confusion. She was a staff member for the con, and the hotel front desk had given her the key to our room and everything. We called down to sort it out and as best as we could tell the convention had never put her name into the system, and the front desk had just picked out the most similar-sounding name to hers from the guest list (ie her last name was "apple" and we had someone on the room with the last name "applegate").

The hotel was more confused than apologetic about it and didn't take any steps to fix it either, which blows my mind since they clearly didn't even check her ID before giving her a key to our room. Fortunately she was very nice but it could've been a bad situation if we weren't there at the time.

[Anonymous No.9522279]

>>9522060
Also, sometimes in the case of larger cons, Airbnb owners figure out what dates people are coming to the city and jack up the prices for the duration of the con. They're usually good for smaller cons, though.

As someone who worked in housekeeping for years, this makes me furious.

Housekeepers have 15-20 rooms a day to clean and trashed rooms can take hours and multiple people to clean them.

I used to have to help with emergency cleans like this and was would be massively pissed if I didn't get a $20+ tip or OT reimbursement.

NAYRT, but honestly you really can't apply things like that across the board to everyone. What works for you isn't necessarily going to work for someone else. I'm not really condoning anon's bulimia, but I'm also not in their situation.

I had my own fucked up food situation where I gained weight super easily and couldn't get it or keep it off without really drastic measures, and doctors wouldn't really listen to me- plus anorexia type restriction was actually easier for me than "junk food in moderation." I don't know why, but it is. I got lucky and finally got a doctor that listened to me and gave me medication that helps so I can moderate a bit better and can go from 400 calories on a good day to a more healthy, steady 800-900 calories a day with an occasional snack or treat now.

Your situation is more uncommon, isn't it? For most people, just eating a balanced diet with occasional treats is enough to meet their goals.

Yes, you're absolutely right, my situation is very uncommon. It got incredibly frustrating hearing "LIFESTYLE CHANGES!!" and "HAVE YOU TRIED CUTTING OUT SODA?!!" when I haven't really touched a soda in like a decade, among other things I've tried and done and still do. Again, I understand my situation is extremely unusual, it's just cases like mine CAN pop up so I try not to assume.

>>9522734

Yes I am taking vitamins (with food that includes fat) and getting lots of protein, but I also have a blood disorder that means taking iron won't do shit for me but fuck me up so not much I can do about that I'm afraid.

Dude you could portion control stuff just as easy as forcing yourself to puke. Just buy your junk food and some ziplock baggies and do correct portion sizes. Also go for the healthier pastas, like the ones made of veggies and again portion control. Do some form of exercise too. You can burn a lot of calories fairly easy if you're willing to try. Cut back on food by $50 and get a gym membership shit.
You're gonna die at 35 instead of 65 at this rate. If you wanna die that soon fine, but shit think of the brand you'll be missing when you're dead.

Sorry but this is idiotic advice, recovery from an ED as serious as hers sound requires years and years of professional help, not just "buy some ziplock baggies" and "eat healthier food." And a lot of bulimics use exercise as a form of purging, so that's not the healthiest advice either. I get that you're trying to help but you really don't know what you're talking about.

On topic, what's with all the stories about people barging into occupied rooms, do other people not always use the manual lock and chain when they're in there? That kind of thing is nightmare scenario for me, so I'm always obsessive about it.

I've been guilty of not locking it without really thinking sometimes but I usually do.

I don't have any really awful hotel horror stories myself because I've been fortunate enough to room with close friends and, the one time I had to switch rooms last minute, there were no issues. These stories remind me of why I don't room with people I don't know well.

It was hella chill. Another year prior we were making burgers in the bed of a friends truck on our grill and people bought burgers off us.

The hot tub parties were fun too. Was probably the most social I was with other con people that weren't already friends. Hell we'd go out to it in winter and some dude from the rave threw a glow stick into the pool, my friend dove in and still has the glow stick since she beat a guy to it.

There is jack shit to do at the new con area. Unless you wanna play cards against humanity with a group for 15+. Hell can't even have a meet at the bar without normal hotel guests mean mugging the fuck out of you. The pool is so depressing too.

Yeeeeah. Based on the stories up thread, and the things I've heard from a friend who manages a long-term stay hotel? Corporate doesn't give a shit unless you assault someone, or get caught committing a crime akin to kidnapping or murder.

My friend complained about a guy who would come in on a corporate plan and wreck his room a couple of times a year. His employers gave no shits and paid the bill, and her hotel's corporate offices basically told her the money from a trashed room was better than no money from an empty room.

I have to assume the repairs don't cost as much as what they charge for them, because those rooms have to be empty while they're fixed. But. Logic isn't really something I even try to apply to most corporate accounting schemes.

The stories from Rainfurrest before it died are truly horrifying.

>The roto-rooter company showed up twice over the course of the weekend. Somebody stuffed a bunch of towels into the hot tub drain and damaged the pump. Somebody else deliberately loosened a bolt in a bathroom, causing the next person who flushed the toilet to flood the room with two-and-a-half inches of water… directly above one of the hotel’s basement server rooms. Even the posters we put up around the hotel for the con game got vandalized or stolen. No act of destruction was too petty, or too grand.

Other incidents include:
>dirty diapers being thrown at cars
>bags of dirty diapers left in the carpark for staff to clean up
>hiding dirty diapers around the con for fun

They've been a problem in Canada too, specifically in student dorms where they spread rampantly and are hard to control (since gross people can and will keep bringing them back).

A friend moved into an apartment that was already infested because the rental company was a bunch of corner-cutting dickheads and had to fight tooth and nail to be reimbursed for the fumigation and lost rent costs.

They're called "entry level" jobs for a reason. Same goes for fast food. Those jobs are intended to be filled by teenagers and maybe college students so they can A: Learn how to have a job and B: Build up a resume so they don't walk out of a university with nothing but a degree and a pile of debt.

Seriously, how hard is it to write down orders and bring people food? If you don't like the pay then find a job that pays adequately. Nobody's forcing you to be a waiter.
>Inb4 "you've probably never even had a service job"
I'm an automotive technician and have been my entire professional life. I don't receive tips regardless of the job I do, be it changing someone's oil or replacing timing chains on an Audi V8. Even if someone offered me a tip I'd refuse out of professional pride. I make a decent wage because I know what my time and skills are worth and the shop owner pays me accordingly.
If you're a waiter making $2.50/hr. and you have no intention of moving up the chain or changing professions, you better believe that's all your time is worth.

Having a dog in public is fine (although they should stay outside of businesses and such for sanitary reasons) but I imagine that anon has a problem with the whole "service dog" fad like I do and yes, it's a fucking fad. I remember a time not too long ago when service dogs were used to guide the blind and that was pretty much it. Then they became supportive companions for folks with PTSD, mostly vets, and that was also fine. Now when I see a service dog there's a 90% chance it's leashed to some blue-haired landwhale for "emotional support" because she sometimes gets anxious when going outside to run errands. At this year's Sakuracon I saw no less than 10 service dogs and every one of them fit the above description. No veterans, no blind folks, all tumblrites.

all the things people have said, plus the pesticide they used to use in mattresses to help prevent them became illegal to use some time ago.

It really isn't that uncommon. A lot of the fat itas that get posted on these boards probably have similar conditions. (Not all of them, but probably a good portion.)

After years of starving myself and getting no results, I was eating 500 calories a day and exercising as much as my body would allow me to without blacking out. I was still over 250 pounds. I just kept gaining and I was disgusted with myself at almost 280 pounds. I was terrified, because even though all of my levels were fine, I just didn't want to be that fat anymore. I could not let myself weigh 300 lbs.
So, not too far back, I found a female endocrinologist. First doctor to ever actually listen to me. Put me on medication.
Within five months, I'd lost 55 lbs. In twelve, 130. Now, I've been maintaining a normal, healthy weight at 1,200 calories a day, with sweets! I don't drink more than one sugary drink a week though.

>tl;dr anon's problem is more common than people like to think bc "you're fat so all of your problems can be solved with exercise!!" is what they've been conditioned to think.

There's definitely a time and place for comfort animals, and a crowded con isn't one of them. At Katsucon this year, I saw way too many small dogs being used as comfort/service dogs, including a fucking trembling chihuahua which seemed more distressed than its owner.

[Anonymous No.9525576]

>>9525573
To be fair, chihuahuas are pretty much always trembling. I work in a boarding kennel and we had two chihuahuas recently who were 100% tremble, but they were SUPER happy and sweet. They generally tremble because of excitement or they're cold. Also, small dogs with a lot of energy= tremble.

Though I also agree that a con environment isn't good for most dogs bar professionally trained service dogs. (Blind, deaf helper dogs)

Most hotels do not allow dogs or any animals in general. Not just because of hygiene but because of allergies and destructive behavior. If you are bringing a dog to a hotel, you should be curteous and bring puppy pads with you. Also, always ASK first if you can bring the animal, regardless of if it is a dog or not. People who bring animals into grocery stores and apartments and claim "service dog" without any identification really bothers me. It puts a bad name out for people with actual service animals.

Jfc anon. You are completely blasting through anything I am saying and only reading what you want to read. You can't just bring a dog in without a signing some papers. They won't charge you if you say it is a service dog, but a lot of hotels have you sign a possible damage form if your dog destroys property. I am saying PEOPLE SNEAK THEIR INSERVICE DOGS IN AND THEY WRECK THE ROOM. They can ask if the dog is a service dog if they see you, but can't prod into documentation. Because of this kind of loophole, you have renters for homes/apts, people going into restaurants, and hotel/motel stayers who feign a dog being a service dog and you get these destructive issues other anons are talking about.

The loophole sucks for people with actual trained service dogs, who actually carry around documentation who are fully willing to pull them out if needed ever whether it is due to a hotel manager being unreasonably assholeish and demanding documentation, stores threatening to kick them out. Things like this. On the flip side, you have people with untrained dogs, pretending they are service, but know the laws and know that they can pretend and when asked for identification or why you dog doesn't wear a service vest or tag, say that you are going against their privileges as someone who needs a service animal.

There are so many topics on Tumblr that people agree to have used this loophole during conventions, for outings insides establishments. My mother actually has a service dog with a vest and everything, and it pisses me off when people pull this shit. It makes people untrusting because its so easy to just fake papers, or have none at all, or just buy a tag/vest and pay it off like your untrained animal is a service animal.

You aren't listening either. There is literally no official documentation for service dogs. That's why people can't prod into it, because there is LITERALLY NONE. There is no service dog registry by the government, the most you get is a certificate from the trainer or academy that your dog is trained at, and some dogs are self trained. There is no official way to tell if a dog is a service dog or not.
And yes, you can bring a service dog in without signing papers; most hotels do not make you sign anything. Damage to the room is obviously dealt with just as any other room: if there's reported damage when you leave, you pay for it. There is no law that requires you to announce you have a service dog, just as you don't have to announce you have a wheelchair. Service dogs are treated as necessary equipment.
Again, fake service dogs are bad, but even service dogs can have destructive issues when they are off duty.

Dogs don't have the concept of "work schedules". Service dogs are thoroughly trained for not just their job, but behaviour as well, so they're not an inconvenience to their disabled owners. To them, they're "on duty" 100% of the time. We had an entire thread on the topic not too long ago and one girl mentioned how she was trying to do Yoga one morning and her friend's service dog kept freaking out thinking that her intentionally slowed breathing meant she was having a health issue.

Not only that, but when a legitimate service dog costs 20-fucking-thousand, they better be fully obedience trained enough to not chew random shit that isn't a designated chewtoy.

This is also one of my nightmares tho, i have literal nightmares of me showing up at the con and not bringing a cosplay or forgeting a vital piece or cloth of my cosplay... ;_;

I think a lot of people don't know to tip housekeeping. I staffed a con once and we were staying in a very nice hotel in the heart of the city. It's usually people on business travel staying there since it's so close to a lot of major company headquarters. It's the last of the con and I catch the woman who was cleaning our room and I scramble to get cash out of my wallet to tip her. I forgot to get cash so I only have like $5 but I hand to her and she nearly bursts into tears. She kept saying "god bless you sweetie" and how I didn't have to do that. It wasn't until after I left that I realized that people must not tip her.

Ugh, poor girl. When I was 18 I had an abortion and had to fly out to Maine for a "funeral" (memorial service on top of Mt Cadillac where we ate trail mix and said nice words about the fucker) the next day. Couldn't skip out because I didn't want to tell my parents that I had just had an abortion, and even though I had no complications flying on a plane and climbing a mountain is NOT a fun time after having a fetus sucked out of you.

>>9527400
I wouldn't have skipped the con if I already paid for it, but I wouldn't have done any cosplays probably. Also, depending on how early in the pregnancy it was, she might not have been able to wait. It sounds like she had a medical abortion, which need to be done sooner than a surgical abortion (taking a pill that causes a miscarriage vs getting the actual removal surgery). If she had waited the day after she got back, she might've had to have a completely different procedure, if any at all.

Had a few at a con I didn't attend in a hotel here a few years back. I was following the con's facebook page and they had to issue warnings each day because of them. The majority in the area were using either unsealed body paints or straight up watercolor paint. Then getting sweaty as a homestuck is going to and resting against walls transferring paint. Another group climbed into the hotel's hot tub in their shit paint.

So... Do you have like... communal towels when you share rooms with people?
Because most people have their own designated towel to use.
This is either that you have a vendetta against anyone who uses body paint or you're nasty as fuck and share unwashed (IE soiled) towels with other people.
Because I consider any used towel to be soiled by default. Especially during summer cons when everyone is sweating like a pig.

[Anonymous No.9529346]

>>9529334
The fuck is your problem?
Yes everyone in the hotel room gets their own towel. The person with body paint gets one too, yes, but if they're not a fucking cunt, they use their own towel from home so the hotel doesn't have to wash paint out of their towel.
Why is this so hard to understand? You keep assuming things that I have neither said nor implied.

[Anonymous No.9529354]

>>9529346
But the way i mentioned how you wash of the body paint, you're getting next to none on the towel, so I still don't understand your beef.
The hotel tosses all the towels in bleach anyway. So a minimal amount of body paint isn't any different or harder to clean than a minimal amount out make up.
You're insisting that some how a small smudge of body paint is the worst thing imaginable ever on a towel and will be 9001 more hours for the hotel to clean out.
If you're not a cunt, you don't even need to bring your own towel. You wash it off properly in the shower.

As a former Homestuck, body paint was such a humbling lesson in hotel etiquette for me because I had never consciously realized what a bad idea it is not to bring your own towel to a room.

I spent an hour and a half scrubbing in the shower one of the first times I wore paint because a roommate had left streaks on her 2 towels. I have this retail knee-jerk to clean up anything I wiukdbt want to clean up while working myself so it was a wake up call.

You don't have to have your certification or paperwork proving you disability. You do not have to provide it as it is illegal for people to ask you for it. HOWEVER people are allowed to deny you service or kick you out if your service animal acts threatening or misbehaves. Service animals may or may not have vests (although most do), and unfortunately people can buy vests online for their pets and claim they are service animals without the animal having any training. You can tell who is a real service animal and who isn't. Trained service animals are quiet, are always at the heel position when walking unless completing a task. Sits at heel or between owners legs when stopped and not completing a task. Does no lunge or pull on the leash/harness. Does not beg. Sits under a table or chair when in a restaurant. Basically like they are not even there unless they are doing a specific job in that moment.

Emotional support animals are different. They don't really need training and don't get certified. They can, but its different than a service animal. Most often its just a paper from the persons therapist stating that it is indeed an emotional support animal. This animal is not afforded the same things as service animals. They can get leniency for certain travel accommodations and certain boarding/renting situations. But even the its at the discretion of the business.

[Anonymous No.9530813]

>>9525976

This. Their employer has to make up the difference if they don't make it in tips (in the US). They cannot legally make less than minimum wage at the end of the day. The starting base pay may be 2.50 but it is assumed they will make up the difference in tips, if not then the boss pays them whatever the difference is to make it minimum wage.

I think its bullshit to pay anyone below a living wage, let alone use a loop hole like 'they make tips so I don't have to technically pay them'.

However misrepresenting the law here isn't going to help your case.

Also I am not obligated to tip anyone. Tipping is a thank you for good service. If a someone gives the literal bare minimum when there is no reason to (not busy, staffed correctly) or is just fucking awful I don't tip. They don't deserve it. I Have had coworkers be the worst fucking possible servers, at different types of jobs, because they knew they were going to be tipped SOMETHING or because we pooled our tips at the end of a shift. Fuck them, fuck that. If they suck they don't deserve my money or yours.

Kinda both. Dogs know to behave when out in public and act a certain way. Dogs at home In a relaxed setting or allowed to (given release to) play will act relaxed and like a normal dog, but depending on what they are trained for, will still be working.

I'll generally tip 5 bucks because I use the shit they put in the room and they have to restock it. And sometimes they have to go out of their way to restock certain things depending on the hotel (coffee stuff, snacks, ext.) If I leave a mess I'll tip more.

However when I first get in the room and shit is dirty (sheets not changed, shower gross, obvious stuff from last occupants) they aren't getting a damn thing.

Deposit? A hotel room stay is not an apartment.
That "deposit" is you paying a portion of the total bill before the end of your stay. It's called a "deposit" in case you're a no-show for your reservation or didn't cancel it in time and it's only a 1 night charge. Some will "give it back" and then the recharge is the full amount.
