I checked in late on Friday. 2/17/2012
The young lady at the desk could not have been more obnoxious. I explained my situation to her three times. After 3 tries of saying that I was from KC, MO, she kept trying to respond to me that I was from Arkansaw. Is this a state in the USA?
When my credit was overused and denied, she ordered me downstairs to the ATM where I was able to acquire $320.00 which I thought might cover me for a one night stay.
This same girl, then informed me that I needed to pay her more money for charges that might incurr. My response was that if I gave every cent of my cash that I would not be able to eat.
I lived on my Macy's card for two days because they had many restaurants and nice places to eat. I did find a better suited place to stay at the Hotel Beresford on Sutter St and Mason near Union Square.
Having been a former Pam American flight attendant in the early 70's I had the privelge of staying in many Intercontental hotels that Pan Am owned. The experience that I had late at night was the worst!
