I heard that some of the hotels in the city are overbooked by 10 or 11 rooms. :noes:
That's not unusual at all. When I was in the industry we typically overbooked by by 10% of all rooms. All of the hotels that I worked in were over 225 rooms, so on a night when we were sold out we would have 23-35 rooms over capacity.
I was in the business for 20 years, 15 as a Chief Engineer or Director of Maintenance and Facilities Engineering.
