Post by Jarlaxle »

Inspired by another forum thread...just wondering who here may have had great/awful/bizarre things happen at a hotel?

I can't go into much detail but my experience involved two hookers, 1/2 ounce of cocaine, a flashlight, two bottles of Jack Daniels, a bowling ball, handcuffs and a trampoline.

OMG -- this sounds so familiar. I'm going to take a stab in the dark here. Did this involve the McGlinchey twins at the Ramada Inn Bayside in New Port Richey FL?

I knew I shouldn't have used that flashlight the way I did.

Whoa...I didn't get the trampoline.

Damn. I knew I should've gone with the Deluxe Package...

They said they were twins but I thought they just got some kind of deal on the same blonde wig. What a coincidence!

You only get a trampoline with the Boom Boom Suite package. It costs a little extra and they expect a tip.

Well I met a girl at the Rainbow Bar;
She asked me if I'd beat her.
And she took me back to the Hyatt House —

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Not nearly so interesting as Joe and Ray's joint experience (to coin a phrase) - but I used to regularly fly into BWI Baltimore if I had a meeting in DC. Cheaper flights. I would rent a car in BWI and drive to DC, and usually stay in Laurel MD which is off 95, just outside the Beltway. So one trip the Amex lady booked my flight as normal and got me a room at the Laurel Quality Inn. Tired and hungry EKA arrives at the hotel 11 at night wanting to put his head down so he could be bright eyed and sharp at tomorrow's 8AM meeting because the feds like to show off that they are early risers. "No Mr Khobar we don't have a room for you." WTF? I show him the itinerary Betsy had lovingly prepared for me hot off Sabre. (Remember Sabre, from those pre-Expedia days?) And there was my hotel reservation in Laurel MS. Who knew there was a Laurel in Mississippi? Well Quality Inn did, because they had a hotel there. Eventually we established that I was not going to MS just to spend the night; and the only room they had left was the honeymoon suite for an extra $50. That's OK cos Amex is going to cough up for that.

It had a round bed and a sunken heart-shaped Jacuzzi in the middle of the room and mirrors on the ceiling. Bed sheets and Jacuzzi were red. I have done enough testing for pathogenic bacteria including E coli of all types to be well aware that hot tubs are run at the exact temperature we use to promote optimal growth in the petri dish. Needless to say I did not get a lot of sleep; but the feds were amused.

For their prices I'd expect the whole length, not just the tip.

Only 2 bottles of JD?!?!?!
That is a bad experience.
