I want silk and cashmere for my butt!!

[HotelMinion]

So I'm still on vacation but even though I'm very much enjoying myself, I don't like not knowing what's going on at work. Today I opened up our friendly website where reviews of our establishment are left, and you can rate our hotel 1 to 5. One review gave us a 1, though by the tone I could tell she would've given us a zero if the rating system would've allowed it. Attentively, I read it.
She was vicious, pulling out no stops. She complained that she stayed in a one bed bedroom, and that it only had ONE sink!!!! "Everything was designed for just ONE person!!!" <----actual quote. Uh, lady. Our two bed bedrooms have only one sink, too. If you want two sinks then you'll have to pay about 50 bucks extra to have two sinks SOMEWHERE ELSE. Oh, ok, your hubby was staying with you. Even hear of taking turns with the sink? *sigh*
Other complaints were: Toilet paper and tissue were too cheap quality!!! Uh, lady. You wipe your ass and blow your nose on it. It's not going to be silk and cashmere....very petty.
She also called us not just unfriendly, but VERRRRY unfriendly because we wouldn't "even" look up as she left or entered the hotel. Ummm... ok. Not my idea of unfriendliness, but whatever. To each her own.
The rest was a long list of issues maintenance and breakfast related. Well, at least she didn't complain about the housekeeping. Oh wait. Never mind. "Towels were too thin." (not true at all) I think she would've complained about the design on the walls if she had more character limit. High maintenance much?
Oh yeah she also said that she painfully ran into the closet door in the dark. Ouch. Why? Because she didn't see it and it was our fault, somehow.

Luckily she promised never to stay with us again. Huzzah! DDD

Hey, you actually have it in writing, too. You should print it out, and if she tries to stay with you guys again, whip the paper out and tell her that she put it in writing that she wouldn't stay with you again. Watch her sputter for a reaction.

I've stayed in some very nice hotels and I don't remember EVER seeing one with two sinks...even if there were two beds or a king sized bed. She is nuts.

[ShadowBall]

Promises, promises...if only they'd actually keep them. Odds are she'll come back and bitch about every little thing in hopes of getting a big fat discount.

She ought to try staying at the dump I was at in Boston last year - no doors on the locker-room-style shower stalls (just curtains that someone could easily pull back from the outside), one sheet and one pillow on the bed (I was freezing every night), personally I couldn't close my windows fully without breaking something so I slept in my coat a lot, the blinds were also messed up so I got a face full of sunbeams at 5 am. Granted, it was the cheapest hotel in the city so I didn't expect quality, but WTF the towels were too thin? They aren't meant to be sleeping bags. It reminds me so much of people who go out a restaurant and try to customize an item so much that it is in no way any longer like the original dish. If you need stuff to be a certain way and cannot handle when it's not, stay the hell home and do it yourself.

And I have also never seen any hotel room with two sinks - even in the really nice ones with closets and individual coffee makers and big-screen TVs. Why would you need two sinks? And of course a one-person room is going to be made to accommodate all of ONE person! Why would one person need a room with two beds? For their imaginary friend? Some people just look for shit to complain about.

Well, I do.
Granted, the 'room' my employer booked me into was a two bedroom, two bathroom, one living room complex... but the whole thing had two sinks (one in each bathroom)

*ducks for cover*

Oh yeah she also said that she painfully ran into the closet door in the dark.

You mean there's a non-painful way to do that?

[Kristev]

Oh my word. What an awful hotel guest.

[MoonCat]

I bet she would have complained about the price in a hotel that had everything she wanted.

[Catwoman2965]

Her review is the type I take with a grain of salt when looking at hotel reviews. SOmeone who complains about stuff like that clearly has issues and their review can't really be considered accurate.

LOL...just a slightly different situation there

I stayed in a hotel in Nevada last June with one sink. I gave that hotel a great review anyway because unlike some people, I didn't give a damn on how many sinks the room had. What an idiot lady.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Why, back in my day, we blew our noses on moss and wiped our asses on handfuls of leaf litter. And we were thankful to have that leaf litter.

Oh, wait, I'm thinking about the last time we went camping...

Anyways, if she wants two sinks, she needs to stay in a suite with two bathrooms. I've never seen a hotel bathroom with two sinks in a master bathroom. The hotel I stayed in when I was in Vegas (that was the nicest hotel I'd ever been in, and I was there because I didn't have to pay for it) didnt' have double sinks.

And if she doesn't want to run into the door in the dark, maybe she needs to close it or open it or do whatever she has to do to keep it from hanging half open in the dark.

The hotel I stayed in last week (and the week before, and this coming week..) has three sinks... One huge one's at floor level and you sit in it, one's at knee level and you sit on it, and the last is at waist level and you stand in front of it.


... DON'T get them mixed up! ...

I'm used to John Wayne toilet paper and kleenex at my work.

Rough and tough and don't take shit from anyone HUH?????

seriously though I used to be a bit of a road warrior about 12 years ago during the Y2K thing. I had to travel a lot to the different divisions accross the country training the staff at each location on the updated systems.

EVERY hotel I have ever stayed at only had one bathroom and one sink and one toilet and one shower/tub. and I stayed in more than a few. but then most of those hotels were of the mid to lower end Holiday Inn types. no luxury suites for the tired buysiness traveler.nice hotels but defineately NOT the Waldorff
