4. The restaurant recommendations aren’t exactly unbiased
Although the hotel concierge is a helpful resource, he might not be the best person to ask for unbiased restaurant recommendations.
Concierges may receive a commission for each person they refer to a certain restaurant, which means they may be directing you to locations that will fill their pockets rather than those that will serve fantastic meals.
Kickbacks are more frequent in mid-tier hotels than in high-end hotels. Even if he receives a commission for referring you to a restaurant, a professional concierge will still take you to a reputable restaurant, especially since you’re likely to complain if you believe you were given lousy advice.
