This question already has an answer here:



  • Can a hotel kick you out if you let an unregistered guest share a room with you?

    2 answers



I have NEVER in my life stayed in a hotel where it said visitors are not welcome. I am going to NYC, and my friend wanted to visit me, not spend the night. We have done this before at another hotel, but that one was all booked up.



So I made sure I read the policies for the hotel that I booked. It said nothing about visitors or anything at all really, but in two reviews of the hotel they said visitors weren't allowed. I am trying to contact the manager, but apparently the staff have pretty poor English. Can they charge me for my friend visiting? Or not allow him in at all?



I am not asking for anyone to spend the night only for a Visitor.

    This isn't your question, but I'd be fairly skeptical of any NYC hotel that can't answer a straightforward question about their policies. While not every member of staff may have excellent English skills, the fact that nobody seems to be able to give you an answer is a red flag in and of itself.

    @AakashM No, that's not me, I am not asking to share a room with someone. I am asking for a visitor, no nightly stay.

  • @ZachLipton I understand how that can be a red flag, but where NYC is so diverse it's kinda difficult. I have messaged the hotel again maybe I can get a response. One review said that there was a sign at the front desk that said "No visitors." I keep re-reading their policies and I see it no where.

    I always thought no visitors was code language for no escorts, and that any other visitors are totally fine.

I've bought a date back to my hotel room before with no problem. I didn't ask permission, just walked in like we were both guests there all the time.



If I've made arrangements in advance, I've also been upfront with the hotel about this, either when booking (ie. booking for 2), or at check-in asking for a duplicate key "for my friend who will be joining me later". Never had a problem.



The key thing in my view is never give the room key back to the front desk until you check out. That way, you are never showing up at the front desk (to ask for your key) with someone they have not seen before, but are instead just 2 guests walking across the foyer to the elevators.



That said, I have also stayed in other hotels where the house rules specifically say "no overnight visitors". And yes, that is often in places that change different rates depending on the number of guests in the room.

            How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point?

            How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point? While looking into the better indicator of how miserable it feels outside, either dew point or relative humidity, I came across this statement: The optimum combination for human comfort is a dewpoint of about 60 F and a RH of between 50 and 70% (this would put the temperature at about 75 F). Source: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/190/ This led me to this calculator that will calculate the temperature given relative humidity and dew point - for example a dew point of 70 degrees F and a relative humidity of 90% results in a temperature of 73.11 degrees F. The web site for this calculator says the values are based on the August-Roche-Magnus approximation and gives the following equation to calculate temperature: $T =243.04 Large fracfrac17.625 TD243.04+TD-lnleft(fracRH100right)17.625+lnleft(fracRH100right)- frac17.625 TD243.04+TD$ Given the equation I'm still having a hard time figuring out...

            I have a recursive function to validate tree graph and need a return condition I have a tree graph. Each node has attribute 'amount'. The rule governing the attribute value of root is this, The root 'amount' value is the sum of the 'amount' attribute of each of it's children. This continues to the last node with children. In other words this tree's attributes are unlike a sum tree, because the root node is not the sum of each node in the tree. Here is a toy example as graph G: nodedict = 'apples': 'amount': 5.0, 'bananas': 'amount': 10.0, 'tomato': 'amount': 50.0, 'total_fruits': 'amount': 15.0, 'total_vegetables': 'amount': 9.0, 'carrot': 'amount': 3.0, 'squash': 'amount': 6.0, 'total_fruits_and_vegetables': 'amount': 74.0 edgelist = [('total_fruits', 'apples'), ('total_fruits', 'bananas...
