I booked a motel a week ago on the outskirts of Albany Georgia (the nicer. Newer part)
I booked over the Internet DIRECTLY through the motel. No middleman.
I received my confirmation.
Upon arrival, I was told that this is "graduation" weekend. Whatever the Hell that is and that they were booked solid. I had no room. Nothing.(And good luck finding another room nearby)
I didn't want to cause a scene. So I quietly went into the lobby area and called the parent companies 1-800 number and let them have it!
They called the front desk, and wouldn't you know it? A room became available.........................And it's a suite!
I just grabbed the room cards and came upstairs to take a shower. But curious, I contacted my credit card company. I only use the same one for travel. It's easy to keep track of. AND I was charged for the suite upgrade!
I got back on the phone to the same 1-800 number with my complaint reference number in hand....And now the room is free.
Should I still write a bad review?
Should I still feel badly about swiping the tiny soaps?
It's a nice room.

Sounds like somebody was incompetent rather than malicious there. But, phew, so good that you checked! I’d give an average review—if any.

Btw "young". Where is Dan ? I know he is on holidays, but he hasn`t posted this day.
Hi Dan, I hope you are well, not eaten by a shark in the aquarium you wanted to visit.:D
Have you found the night life in Florida ?????:)
@DE42

I wonder if he’s hanging out with the dolphins ;)

Last pics! So proud of my girl because she only placed in 3rd in one event and lost by a hair in the others and came home with a great attitude.

She’s athletic but not competitive if that makes sense. She’s a great soccer player but running distances is not her thang!

There was a lot of kids to compete against.

Happy Friday!
My back survived today and now I’m at the hairdressers covering my gray!

This weekend is a soccer tournament so no rest but I’ll bring my ice pack.

Good job, Kathy’s daughter! We’re all so proud of you!!!

I have done alot of living for my age, in a good way though.
If I died tomorrow I would be happy with my life- but I'd still like to keep on living the good life.
The same here. Hubby reckons he wants to go to 66. Me on the other hand want to be able to enjoy retirement for a very long time.

Well done to your daughter. That is a great placing. And so glad your back is doing better.
