“The Hotel That Courtesy Forgot”
Okay...any hotel you stay at is pretty much the same overall. There's only so much you can do with the basic bedroom/bathroom layout. After that, the details come into play to differentiate the good, the bad and the ugly. This hotel was good bordering on bad and once or twice touching ugly for me.
We showed up and the room was OK. It was a non-smoking room, but reeked of cigarettes. Very musty, very stale. It was clean, no bedbugs and only one spider in the tub which I killed. We left and went to my sisters for a while.
Later we came back and I have to say the A/C is great, if nothing else. The room was cold and my wife froze all night no matter how low I turned the thing. But I had to have some air moving, so we left it on.
The continental breakfast was a joke. Some Little Debbie cakes arranged like a comb-over to make it look like there was more than there really was. Some sort of instant juice mix that was truly sickening.
My wife asked for two more washcloths and a hand towel and the manager looked as if she'd slapped him. He actually argued about giving us the towel and finally told her to talk to the cleaning staff. We tracked them across the parking lot, a man and a woman, and the man, who didn't seem to understand English very well, seemed to think we were trying to steal the stuff.
When I finally told him to forget it, he followed me across the lot to give me some. We got our stuff and went and checked out. I was kinda hot over the stinginess, the meanness.
