Hotel

I should preface this entry by telling you that I don't like paying a lot of money for a hotel. I don't need anything fancy- just a bed and a bathroom. And clean. I need clean.

I checked into my hotel today (I am staying at a chain that I would not normally stay at- the rate I'm getting, with taxes, is $100/night. And it's a good rate.), and went to my room, which was on the first floor. I don't like first floor rooms, what with them being easily accessible to anyone. But I also don't like to argue with the front desk people. It's not that big of a deal, really.

However, when I went into my room, the bathroom floor? Was so dirty that I did not want to stand on it without shoes on. I hemmed and hawed, trying to convince myself that it would be OK tomorrow- they'd clean it better. However, I finally decided that for $100 a night, a clean bathroom floor wasn't too much to ask for. So, I complained, and they switched my room. (Guy: I don't have any other King rooms on the first floor. Me: Didn't really want the first floor anyway.)

Still, I feel bad for complaining.

You have every right to a clean room, no matter how much you pay. Even I, the ultra laid back, don't worry about it person, won't stay on a first floor. *shrugs* Glad you said something!

When Hubby had his first operation I stayed at a Days Inn. I got there and the door, (first floor) to the outside didn't lock! I complained and they said, sorry they were full up. I couldn't leave so I stayed and used a chair up against the door. But I was really glad I had big boy Fritz with me and little Greta. Greta has the big bark and Fritz, well at 75 pounds, and with all those big teeth I figured I was safe. They did fix the door the next day.

I'm glad you said something, too. There's nothing acceptable about a dirty room. Yick.

I'm not a complainer, either. I'm glad you ended up getting a better room.
