Self,
So I'm out of town....down south, visiting a friend and I have to stay in a hotel because there isn't room for me where my friend lives. I book my hotel online...it was less expensive then most of the other listings...but it wasn't free.
I was scheduled to arrive about 12:30AM but for some reason the flight was delayed before I left LAX so I didn't arrive at my destination until about 2AM. I wander through the airport to find the rental car counter and by the time I finished the paperwork and got in the car and figured my way out of the airport on to the freeway it was about 2:45AM. Luckily since this is a city I'm not that familiar with I got a GPS system to go with the rental car. I enter the address and start trying to follow the instructions, but that wasn't as easy as it sounds because the Nav-system was trying to make me take a Toll road and I just wasn't having it....mainly because I had NO cash on me....and I hate the idea of having to pay to be on a road.
I finally make my way to the hotel. I park, walk101 to the office and it's locked. A sign is posted saying after 8pm to ring the buzzer, so I did. No answer. I ring it again. No Answer. I ring again, and again, and again. Still no answer. I go back to the car, use my phone to call directory assistance ask for the hotel listing and get the automated system and finallyget the prompt to speak to the operator.....it rings, and rings, and rings again....then disconnects. Apparently this place does not have 24hr desk service. I have no choice but to wait the three hours til the office opens at 7am in the back seat of the rental car. I was not happy.
Sincerely,
Pharoah
PS. Don't let anyone tell you the backseat of a Ford Mustang is comfortable.....you'll find your find yourself under Plymouth Rock.
