Tell me to leave without telling me to leave

During my recent stay at a Blueground apartment, I received the best check-out reminder I've ever seen.

Instead of the usual "move out by 11 AM or else", the message simply informed me that cleaners would be arriving at 11.

It was a subtle nudge, but it made all the difference.

To be honest, it didn't feel like there was any form of passive-aggressiveness in the message at all.

By focusing the topic on the arrival of the cleaning team, Blueground avoids the negative connotation of a strict deadline.It felt like a friendly heads-up rather than an ultimatum.

Also, by sending this notification, Blueground subtly opens the door for guests to inquire about extending their stay, potentially adding a nice boost to their revenue.
