And in the case of some visitors to New York, there are just no words to describe where they stay.
I was cleaning out my cell phone and found a few high quality cell phone pics from September 2007.
Pictures from when a friend was in town.
Actually pictures from when a friend was flown into town by a national talk show and was put up in a hotel.
She called me as soon as she got to her room.
Asked me to stop by her hotel before our dinner so I could see what she was talking about over the phone.
She wanted to make sure I believed her. So I walked over. And found her waiting for me in the lobby.
Then I saw her room. She wasn’t exaggerating. Thankfully I’ve never stayed in a place like that.
Her friend was also flown for the show and would be staying at the same hotel. Lucky woman had no idea what was in store for her.Actually her friend’s hotel room was worse.. it was really the pits.
Not only could I not believe a hotel like this existed in Manhattan but I was shocked surprised a national talk show a successful show at that put their guests up in this place.
I just found photos of her friend’s hotel room sitting in my cell phone.
If you are ever coming to New York, let me know so I can make sure you don’t stay there.

They were kind enough to decorate the room with a side table dresser.
My friend tried to coerce me into the room. After she told me about all the um, hair all over the place.
I’ll spare you those photos.
A photo of the guy who came to see the room after she talked to the front desk about the cleanliness of the room.
He said it was very clean. Let’s hope he never makes any of us dinner one night.

Years ago, my aunt came to visit and stayed in a horrid room in the Tenderloin part of San Francisco. Her room looked better than that. And she paid $15 a night for it. Hair not included.

My spouse and I recently took a couple we know away on a weekend vacation as a wedding gift for their wedding which occurred this past summer. We were mortified when we walked into our room and it had not even been touched by the cleaning staff. Beds were unmaid, garbage was littered about (including a roll of toilet paper strewn about the room), and empty liquor boxes were piled up. Luckily, the couple we had brought received a clean (and very nice) room. The staff members we encountered were very polite, and quickly provided us with a new room.
I was still grossed out, however, at the mere thought — if they hadn’t even cleaned that room, had my sheets been changed? Was it all as clean as it appeared? I will certainly not be revisiting that hotel.
It was actually my first hotel visit EVER which was not exceptional, I have been spoiled.
