So I’m driving south from Oregon and stopped at this hotel. One stops at a Courtyard hotel because it’s the McDonalds of hotels. Not great, but if you do any business travel, you know what to expect. Upon arriving at this establishment the desk staff was courteous. The room was clean and as expected. Nothing special, just a room.
The desk staff knew I was driving a car. They knew because the car was sitting out in front of the establishment and I had to write it on the hotel registration.
Here’s my issue: Knowing that I had driven, they did not tell me that the trees in the parking lot dump sap all over anything that is underneath them.
Because I was a ‘walk in’, even with an AAA discount, I had to pay more than $100 for the night. Now the cost of the stay will be much greater as I try to find someone to remove the sap from my brand new Mercedes.
Because of their lack of follow through and / or attention, I won’t stay at a CourtYard again. Nor will anyone in my corporation.
