What is turn down service and how do you request it?

The CM tells you "NO".

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who immediately thought of a punny! I was thinking a turn down service is when I call daily to see if any rooms have opened up for a discount the dates I need and they turn me down.

But, I will answer respectfully, a turn-down service in the hotel industry is generally having the mousekeeping staff come down and turn your bed covers down for you before retiring for the evening and most hotels that offer this will put a cute little chocolate on your pillow for you. Atleast that's my experience...anyone else?

The above plus they give you fresh towels, empty out the trash, and sometimes they dim the lights, draw the drapes and even get you a fresh bucket of ice!

I second what BambiTamby said. We always return to the room late afternoon to rest a little and change for diner, with the turn-down service they replace all of the wet towels, and turndown the beds, an evening light is left on and ice is placed in the room. If we get back to the resort early, we stop by the concierge lounge for a nightcap.

We've also arrived to have the radio turned to a light jazz or classical station. That with the fresh towels, turned down bed, drawn drapes, chocolates on the pillows and dim lights is a very nice, relaxing way to return to your room at night.

The only problem is that then I have to readjust the radio station, I listen to 101.1, Real Rock Radio LOL!

Turn down service is available at all the deluxe resorts. If you are staying concierge level, it will be done automatically. If you are in a standard room, either have them note your request at check-in or you can call housekeeping directly from your room.
