Bellmen know everything - Hotel tip

The best way to divide and conquer a hotel is to over-tip the bellmen, then pepper them with questions.

In my experience, the bellmen are the eyes and ears of a hotel: they have access to the premium deals and insights that make a hotel run. Furthermore, the average bellman is a male aged 18 to 25; they can suggest the best places in town for partying or point you to their city's secret dives.
