Hypothetical: If you requested me to drive you to the airport and I accept, would you then expect me to show up and do it? Or would it be ok for me no-show and say “oh yeah, I accepted, but I meant only if I didn’t have anything else going on”
the more I think about this, who the heck uses the word “accept” in this context of a hotel request? If I received an ambassador service responses saying the hotel “accepted your request,” my first response will be, “what the heck does that mean?” Either you confirm that I will get connecting rooms or you are just noting it based on availability.
same goes with your driving to the airport. No person when asked to drive a friend to the airport will say “I accept your request” for me to drive you to the airport. It’ll either be a “sure I can” or “let me check and get back to you.” (Unless some language barrier or translation issue).
ambassador service communication fail.
