re: What are your worst experiences at hotels?

To me, that tells you a lot about a company and that manager. Mistakes are going to happen. I don’t care how diligent you are. How a company responds to the mistake tells you a lot about them.

Checked in and the power went off 3 seconds after paying...wouldn't give me a refund

Stayed in a shithole motel in a small Alabama town for an LSU- Bama game. Staying with my buddy and his dad and am a broke college kid

Morning of the game we go into the the “lobby” which was a very small room with way too many chairs where you can get your free breakfast in the morning, I go to get a waffle and while trying to squeeze between two chairs and I knock over this cheap stone statue sitting right next to the chairs and the thing falls. Nothing breaks I pick the statue back up and kind of chuckle at the awkwardness and look at the hostess and she looks mortified. I assure her it’s not a big deal but we have to go and we will deal with it later when we get back


Fast forward 12 hours and we get back and we are locked out of our hotel room, so I went to the front desk where the owner is at. He said that I broke a statue and I have to pay 300 dollars or we won’t get into the room. At the point in exhausted, pissed off at LSU getting stomped, and piss drunk so I am not having this. We argue back and forth for an hour or so when I finally relent and tell him I will pay so that my friends couple sleep, but I tell him I am not going to sleep now and if I am paying 300 dollars for this shitty statue then I will stay up all night in his lobby and calmly tell him how fricking stupid he is and how ridiculous the situation is and that if I’m paying then I should take the statue home that I am paying for. He didn’t like that at all and started yelling back at me

After about a half hour of that, he threatens to call the cops on me and my friends drag me out of there before he does. Never been more pissed in my life.


Luckily for unknown reasons in the middle of the night the guy calls the room and says that he won’t charge me for the statue bad weekend but a fun story to retell at the bar

Had a cricket in our room that chirped all night. Looked everywhere for that thing. Needless to say, didn't sleep.

Twice lately had pot smokers next door to us. Flooded our room with the smell

Rickey’s RV Park and Motel. Google it and you won’t need any back story!

Went to brush my teeth and chick passed out before “hotel sex”.

Trill,
by”hotel sex” do you just mean rape?

Concrete bed in China is up there.

Stumbled and fell, coming out of elevator where tile met the carpet, at a hotel in Baltimore. Got a little rug burn on my left knee but didn't think anything of it. Three weeks later I was in the hospital with MRSA. Went thru seven operations and spent three months in the hospital. After that I spent ten months in a nursing home for wound treatment and physical therapy.

frickit you win I am out!

Bob White Motel in Sylacauga, Al.


Had to try to find a motel late one night and hit this place up because it was closer to our job than any others. Get my room and lay down in the bed and then I start seeing roaches crawling up and down the walls.

I got up and got my stuff and drove and found another hotel.

I've had to stay in some shitty hotel/motels working in construction but this was the topper.
