Every hotel I deal with has a maintenance dept. An yep they got the good stuff. It's who you should be talking to get stuff when dealing with hotels. Front desk clerks are like a hostess..they want to be important, act like it, but in reality the only say they have is whether or not you get your 10% discount with aaa..haha!
Find the lead Maintenance guy, ask him. Only other person(s) with say is the AGM, or GM of the hotel. Usually the chief guy with a tool belt knows the policy an will give you the yay or nay. When I got the tvs from my hotel, I of course used the mini-van to carry them home. Took several trips as they were big crts. I didn't get funny looks till I got back to the house, an pulled into the yard, an started unloading. lol.
An the glass Jenni, find a local goodwill, best buy, or other place that accepts the glass. My dump down here now takes glass due to a rule change last year, which works for me as..Me an my local GW don't like each other, an Best Buy is a hour away.
Edit: The only thing my hotels don't give me is the ac's. An that's cause they save the broken ones for parts. Now an then I get them, when they have stripped them of all they can use. They also give me all their stuff from projects. I got almost a bunch of metal when they redid the lobby ceiling, door area, etc. Hotels are a good source for stuff if you can get in with them.
