One of the poster said that chefs work for the hotel and don't have time to cater to the individual needs of its guests. Isn't that the whole definition of a hotel, which is in the business of serving guests????? If I pay good money (and plenty of it) for a steak that I ordered medium rare, I expect it to be medium rare, not whatever the chef had time to prepare. If I wanted my food standard and overcooked, I'd eat at McDonald's every day.

In Paris I checked into a 3 star hotel. When I got to my room I noticed that in the bathroom the bathtub was literally in the shape of a square. I love to take baths to relax so obviously this would not do. I went down to the front desk and very politely said "I love my room but I have a question. Are all the tubs shaped like a square?" The front desk clerk laughed and said "NO". I then asked if it would be possible to be moved to another room with a long tub.
He was very accomodating. I thanked him and explained that I like to soak in a tub after a long day. I tipped him as I was very appreciative of his assistance. I have found that a little diplomacy goes a long way. Hope this helps.
