Anyone have trouble with snooty hotel staff?

Recommended Posts

We went to Ottawa last weekend to hang out with our friends. We went to dinner, toured the ice sculptures and ate beavertails at Winterlude, and of course, made good use of the two double beds in our room.

 

When we checked in, the manager happened to be standing there. He sounded friendly, but there was no smile. One might even say he was glaring at us.

 

"That's one night stay, with two double beds?" Hard stare. At Mr. intuition, that is. He wouldn't look at me.

 

"Yep, that's right."

 

"Can you please sign here, and write the names of the people staying in the room?"

 

Uh...what? Maybe that's normal, but I can't remember having to do that before. Pft. Whatever. Fuck you, dude. Us old farts are the least of your worries, or do you not realize what sort of freaky shit goes on in your hotel?? We are ordinary people, having ordinary sex. You won't be scraping anything off the walls or ceiling, okay?

 

Anyway, other than the judgmental dick front desk manager, we had a lovely time making a proper mess of the hotel room.

 

Fuck you, buddy.

Maybe it was the tee shirt that had the words, "I'm not a swinger; I just picked these people up hitchhiking" ;)

 

I've been greeted with disinterest but nothing as cheeky as what you describe. It's not right.

At a B&B. It was fine on check in but we brought a gentleman back with us about 1am, had MFM, then he left about 3am. Old victorian house didn’t really muffle the sounds so at breakfast, I think some where trying to figure out who it was and others knew…..

:lol: Oh. MyGod. If I'd had my wits about me, I'd have suggested such shenanigans to Mr. intuition. He's pretty quick with that sort of thing. I had my mind on other things, though. ;)

...we were told that the Hampton in question was not company owned...we thought that if the hotel bore the name of a big brand that it was run by that brand. Oh well, live and learn.

 

Wow! Good to know!

Consider this,again, I wasn't there--Sounds like a person with mild Aspergers syndrome (pleasant, but no eye contact) with a bit of OCD, following the hotel protocol to the letter. You, because of the evening's sexual planning, had your radar up perhaps looking for a smidgen of trouble. He inadvertently gave it to you. That, or, he was a total dick.

 

Though, typically, as your name is on the room and it's your credit card, all you are expected is to list the number of people in the room. Not their names. Often the room rate can vary based the number of occupants. Also, they need a 'count' in the event of a fire or other emergency when they may need to know if everyone got out of the hotel safely.

 

Nope, not Asperger's. I have some weird Aspie traits, like really sucking at knowing when to shut up, not having a social filter, and often not picking up on dishonesty. But I can see through people like I have x-ray vision. This guy was...cold. NO smile. Not even a hint of one. His demeanour took us by surprise, actually. And Mr. intuition brought it up first, so I know I wasn't imagining it. Mr. intuition is an A+ poker player. He reads people like a book.

 

And buddy didn't ask for the number of people, he wanted names. Such a dick. Ugh.

Alura, we do in fact have a local real estate agent by the name of Michael Hunt. :D
He should sue his parents.
