nightmare stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/30/07
from day 1 we had problems. 1st of all we should have had a downstairs room for my moms health reasons , but upon checking in we were put in an upstairs room. Specifically asked for non-smoking due to health reasons and we were put next to a smoker that had there door open and you had to pass thru a wall of smoke to get to our room. We go to open our door to the room and the top right inside part of the door fell out!!! No locks needed to get in our room either.So I go down to complain and the front desk manager(owners son) offers me a roll of duct tape and a towel. I said you are kidding me , right? he said no and then asked if I would like maintenance to come? DUH!!! so the 2 guys come up and I then am told that the room should not have even been rented out, it is unsafe. I then went back down to complain and mind you I have 2 kids with me and ask for a different room , the man says , sorry it looks like that is all we have. Oh, wait we have 1 more , but it is only a king. i say but my husband comes up tomorrow there is no way we will all fit in a king bed.but that I will go look. It was also next to a smoker. I go back to him and say that it won't work either and he then says that he will offer a discount on our 3rd night , but it didn't happen, the story has just begun. I have an asthma attack that night my daughter shocks herself on 1 of the switches , we wake up to our door being open because every time the person next to us opens their door ours would open. The blow dryer was attached to the wall with 1 srew , so when you used it you would have to hold the bracket to the wall!!! the curtain was broke and the windows were so that you could not open them for fresh air. I am constantly saying something to this man.On Sunday he informs me that he has rented our room and is going to have someone move our personal stuuf out ! I was upset! we are booked thru Monday. he then says that he is moving us to a king room again!!! I at this point am thinking ,is this real??? I told him that I would be there in 10 min. and do not touch our stuff. We show back up and confront him only to hear that he has worked really hard so that we can keep our room , that we already thru the next day anyway. i could continue to go on but then I would be writing a novel. i can say 1 thing and that is everyone else we have dealt with there has been very nice and professional. As i say it only takes 1 in a situation like this to make things bad.
