When the family checked into the hotel, the staff were also asked to formally greet Frank - the virtual boy for whom the extra bed was intended.

Many hotels provide clients with services for organizing weddings and celebrations. In preparation for the wedding banquet, guests of one of the hotels asked the employees for an additional refrigerator, in which they had to keep butterflies for organizing the celebration. Some of the requests were very curious, one of the spouses who arrived at the hotel with his wife, secretly asked the hotel staff to resettle them with his wife in different rooms.
