I guess they either opted out of Housekeeping or wanted to "share" their leftovers!lol:)

Unbelievable-I'm sure that won't attract bugs,ants,rats,raccoons,etc.!

I wonder if you call house keeping to clean to clean it up if you will be charged a $10. gift card?
 
Wish I took a picture of one I saw this am at POP. So much food left on the tray but the crazy was bacon, laying all over the sidewalk. Who pays that much for breakfast then doesn't eat the bacon. I couldn't believe I didn't walk up on a raccoon knock down over those goodies.

Sadly that is probably the result of the dining plan ....
 
If I saw something like this, I'd take a picture (with the room number) and show it to the front desk. I'm normally not one to go and tell, but that can cause issues for neighbors and future guests.
 
I don't agree with leaving it like that outside of your room.

That being said, it can be ummm annoying/difficult ... I'm not sure of the right word ... Anyway figuring out what to do with the room service leftovers - especially in a crowded room. There were five of us at Caribbean Beach and one of the kids didn't eat anything for dinner - I forget where we were but they didn't like the food. We had a ton of meal credits left so I ordered a pizza for her back at the room. Which means we had a huge pizza ... that had two slices eaten out of it ... and it was stinking up the room ... and we were packed in there anyway with five people ... and the boxes don't fit in any trash cans.

Of course I left the pizza box in the room next to the trashcan and mousekeeping picked it up the next day.

We actually checked into POP once and there was a leftover pizza in one of the drawers.:sad2: Sad that people are too lazy to walk to a trash can if that don't want it in their room.
 
Ewww gross on the leftover pizza ... and gross on mousekeeping for not checking the drawers.

I wonder if they are going to have to rethink some of the trashcan placement or the number of trashcans with people opting out of Mousekeeping. I guess if you opt out they still come and empty the trash - don't they??? I can't remember the rules on that. Items like the pizza boxes don't easily fit into the trashcans that I remember seeing - or if they do they would block them / fill them up.

If I'm staying in a hotel with interior rooms and order room service the accepted practice is to place the tray / cart back outside the room and they will come pick it up. Of course you should call them to let them know when you do it.

I'm totally not defending leaving a whole meal outside of your room like the pictures shows. That's gross.
 
Part of the issue is that the trash cans are TINY. They used to have the rectangular shaped one and the same size recycling one in the room and a tiny round one in the bathroom, which seemed too small to me already. But two weeks ago we stayed in a renovated room at Pop Century, and the small round bathroom trash can is the same as the one in the room, and the recycling one is just as tiny. With housekeeping every day it's probably okay for most people (we tend to make more trash than that, but I bring extra trash bags because I know), but if people are opting out of housekeeping, its' going to be a problem with those tiny trash cans.

I was thinking of the big outside trash cans.
 
I see many food trays left outside the rooms at deluxe resorts (I assume from room service deliveries) but I wish they would leave it in the room and call for pick up or something. I was walking down one hallway at a deluxe resort recently that had house keeping carts, food trays loaded with plates on the floor and even those personal scooters out in the hallway charging !!!!
 
Having been a GM in the hospitality industry for many years, this is actually the "norm". Many hotel brands have trained guests that room service trays should be left outside of the room (in fact many even have cards in the room instructing it).

The only way I found to win the battle is to have every single employee aware that if they see a tray it should be picked up... Didn't matter if it was a room attendant, desk clerk, concierge, maintenance, ANYONE... They should remove the tray promptly. This ensured that trays would only remain in the halls for a minimal amount of time and help cut down on the number of guests that would follow by example.

Although this was a pet peeve of mine, I certainly never blamed the guest becuase its what so many people are used to. I do get annoyed however when I stay at a hotel and a tray sits in the hall (or outside) for hours.

Yes, the trays should be picked up by staff in a timely manner.
