Price it low enough to win it, but high enough to make a profit from it.  ;)

 lower than house cleaning, if you have the right gear you can do a much larger area much quicker so it adds up better..........

and set out your payment terms if you do not want to be waiting 3 - 6 months for payment.

In my experience hotels are low value late payers, make sure you protect yourself against this.

Also do a proper pre inspection and 'photograph' any problem areas or pre existing shrinkage etc. if you don't expect to be blamed and not payed.

Apart from that crack on  ;D

I didn't get one I quoted on a few months back,wanting carpets and the upholstery cleaning, it was a pretty posh hotel £200+ per night and I went in low,parking and access was also a mare,lot's of narrow stair cases and over 4 floors with no lift, as was the time scale they wanted the job doing in.
So all in all pleased I didn't get it

Sometimes it's just not worth going in far too cheap if parking etc is a nightmare!
