So we are heading into the slow time of year down south. It gets extremely hot and anyone using their brain generally tries to avoid this area during the hottest parts of summer. Unfortunately it becomes extremely important to sell the rooms just to cover the costs of wages and bills like electricity during this time so the prices of the rooms generally crash to not much beyond basic costs to run the place for a while. This is pretty much the norm during this time of year for all lodging in the area.
That also means that's when the druggies and prostitutes think its a great time to try to check in, especially if the place (like ours) supplies free internet and includes breakfast.
So yesterday these two girls try to check in. They are wearing almost nothing and look a little skanky but it is summer so my agent goes about checking them in.
And then this little gem comes out of the mouth of one of them...
"Yeah, so I'm glad this place is here. I'm going to be bringing tricks in and out all night".
To which my agents jaw drops to the floor.
Oh HELL NO she isn't staying with us. We need the money, but no druggies and no hookers allowed. No no no no no. Our regular people guests are much too important to the life blood of this place to allow that. I'd rather go empty than become one of those places. If she wants to do that, then she can go stay at the hooker motel on the other side of the city even though it is a piece of crap. The thing is..... if she had kept her mouth shut, we'd have never been the wiser.
Needless to say that she was informed that she would not be getting a room last night. She was NOT pleased and we almost had to go back to deal with the situation but she did eventually leave.
If a regular person were to arrive in a place like that, they wouldn't stay. It could close us down.
Let me add that I know people have to make a living, but there is a hotel that DOES accept this stuff. Everyone in the city knows it, but nothing is done about it because it keeps most of this stuff there. There is no need to go somewhere else.
