Which term signals housekeeping to provide extra touches?

• A. Comp
• B. Corporate Rate
• C. VIP Rooms
• D. Children and family rate plan

Answer: (C)

In hotel operations, certain room designations cue staff to adjust service levels. The term that signals housekeeping to provide extra touches is VIP Rooms. When a room is marked as VIP, housekeeping recognizes that the guest should receive enhanced attention and amenities beyond the standard clean and stocked room. This can include priority cleaning, a quicker refresh during the stay, turn-down service, extra towels and amenities, fruit or welcome touches, and other special preparations tailored to elevate the guest experience.

The other terms refer to pricing or guest categories rather than a signal for additional service. A comp indicates a complimentary room or stay, not a directive for extra housekeeping touches. Corporate Rate is about the pricing arrangement with business guests, and a children and family rate plan targets family travel; neither inherently tells housekeeping to provide extra touches.
