I booked a hotel over the phone because it was inexpensive and had wireless internet. I had no idea what it looked like, but it had good reviews on yahoo...so I figured, what the heck.
When I got there it just so happened to be a dive. The beds were hard as rocks..the place was filthy, and the ceiling above the shower was rotting. Disgusting...I know. .
I got through the first night..because I checked in after I got off work. -Around 3-4 am. The second night, I left work early because I hurt my leg to the point that I couldn't walk without severe pain.![]()
When I got back to my room there was a noise coming from inside. I walked in and saw that my blow dryer had been turned on high...and left on the counter. (I hadn't even used my blow dryer since I had been there). Then the phone beside the bed had been taken off the hook. (I didn't touch the phone either)....Naturally, I was freaked the F*** out.
I called the front desk and they couldn't have acted more careless. The guys exact words were "Well, someone was obviously in your room but what am supposed to do about it"?---This act of his and me crying hysterically went on for about another 10 minutes. I packed my stuff and went to a different place..a much nicer one at that.
I couldn't believe the way the staff treated me @ this place though. I mean...it was seriously something out of a horror movie.
To make matters worse, the Norman Bates wannabe's refuse to refund my money. (I paid for a week and only stayed for one night). Unreal right? I called the police, wrote the better business bureau, and posted reviews of this place on every website I could find that listed them.
Ya know the saying, "When it rains, it pours". That's me in a nutshell.
Oh great and now the only thing on tv is White Noise...how convenient!![]()
Moral of the story: Never book a hotel without seeing it first...and always spend the extra cash on someplace nicer and more reputable than that hole in the wall for $20 less a day.
