I find it outrageous that some hotels are making their guests feel uncomfortable about fulfilling their requests---like a king bed for example. Hotel are in the business of making money. To alienate and even antogonize their clientele to me is beyond moronic.

This sadly can sometimes be the case with businesses. They want to make money, just not *gay* money. They'd rather forego the business than tarnish their reputation.

Granted, I live in Boston, and travel mostly to large metropolitan cities, so I encounter situations like this very infrequently. Most of the time, the reaction is like many have described....it's almost like watching the sun rise on the face of the desk clerk as he/she clues in!
