Was I just unlucky?
Almost all rooms were full in town, so I felt lucky to get a room at the Howard Johnson in Torrey. It was an upstairs room, and the day had been hot, but the air-conditioning was not working, so the room was very hot. Very difficult to sleep in. The manager said he couldn't do anything about it -- he had no other rooms to offer. In addition, the main light was not working, so I had to fumble around to find other lights. And the refrigerator was not working. To make matters worse, my credit card was billed 3 separate times, and it took at least a dozen phone calls to straighten out the matter. Overall, a bad experience. I will not stay here again.
