I have nothing to hide from anybody, but I make my FB and LinkedIn profiles private so that uninvited strangers don't snoop.
So how do potential business connections find you? (Since that is the point of LinkedIn and a private profile mostly defeats that purpose.)
And how does the OP thinking that it's creepy that a hotel is doing recon work on her equate to her being SO concerned about protecting her private life?
I'm with the OP. I suppose a hotel is free to look me up, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate. Doesn't mean I'm going to hamper my professional career to make sure they can't though.
They just aren't equal thoughts.
