Service with a difference

Travellers away from home like to lay their weary heads in a setting that makes them feel at home. The sizes of inns grew from the wayside hostelries to the large hotels and with that change the friendly innkeeper and the matronly housekeeper vanished and they were replaced by very professional and efficient staff. The nature of the service provided also changed from the bumbling, amateurish but kind and friendly tending to the well trained and impersonal but uniform attention with plastic smiles and gratuitous salutations at every crossing of paths.
At some point the daunting size of the hotel lounges, the oversize chandeliers, and the elaborately decorated common areas such as the bars and dining rooms, all these had the effect of making the ordinary commercial traveller feel out of place. He wanted the plain ambience of a good mansion with a kindly staff in simple livery. He wanted to feel at home. This requirement when it coincided with the corporate thrust towards economy and cost cutting measures gave rise to the now popular Serviced Apartments. They were able to provide a Service with a Difference.
Serviced Apartments now ubiquitous in the urban setting all over the globe have come to stay. They straddle a wide spectrum of customers ranging from the backpacker and low budget holiday maker to the commercial executive in a cost conscious small or medium business enterprise. They all have found the Serviced Apartment to be a convenient and comfortable place to live in temporarily while going about their business or leisure activities in a town other than their native domicile. With the growing technological changes in the form of computers and long distance telephony the booking of rooms and payment of booking advance online have been made commonplace. Travellers can now set forth on their journey confident of finding a place to stay that fits their requirements, a place that they have seen in the photographs and a place that is expecting and ready for them when they arrive. Very often they are returning to a place they have savoured earlier and are looking forward to renewing their friendships with the goodly staff and enjoying once again that service with a difference.
