Local knowledge

Confirm all parking and room service delivery fees in writing before checkout to avoid surprise charges.
Request a firm mattress and proper kettle/tea facilities at check-in if these matter to you; they're not standard in every room.
Book spa appointments with confirmation emails and set phone reminders; front desk may not proactively remind you of bookings.
