Therefore I make sure to communicate my wishes to them - some in advance, some upon arrival and some ad hoc during the stay. If something goes wrong, the mindset part comes into consideration. My mindset is, as said, that I want to enjoy, and I do not want to let mistakes ruin this. Therefore, if something happens, I deal with it immediately to get it out of my mind. This clears my brain for further enjoyment and also gives the hotel the chance to correct the mistakes and improve for the rest of the stay. For me this works most of the time.
I think that is a great attitude to have. It would bring you enjoyment anywhere, regardless of whether it is a luxury hotel or not. But I'm not as strong-minded.
