Strangest hotel experience
Very odd. Stayed for 4 nights with my sister, Thursday-Monday. Smallest room I've ever been in, but it was ok because I was quite impressed with all they were able to do with such little space - very New York (visiting from Texas). Everything was ok up until the very last night we were supposed to be there, and then it was all downhill. Sunday morning as we were getting ready to leave for the US Open, the biggest cockroach I've ever seen is crawling around the walls of our room. For two girls in a shoebox, this is the most horrific scenario because our belongings are all out and have been that way for the past few days - it makes one wonder.... I wish I had a picture of it all, but I was afraid the roach was going to start flying. The concierge sent someone up to kill the roach, and then we actually moved all of our belongings to hotel storage so we could change rooms whenever we came back from the Open. When we came back, our new room had a "Do not touch - wet paint" sign outside the door and the entire room smelled like paint. We again questioned them about it and were given another room key. My sister went to check out the new room, while I waited in the wet paint room. It took her awhile before coming back. When she came back to the room, she has this strange look on her face and says to me, "Wanna hear something funny?" and proceeds to tell me how the front desk gave her a key to an already occupied room and the man in the room she walked into was already asleep and yelled at her. She went back to the front desk to explain what happened and they said, "That's strange, no one's supposed to be in that room...." and handed her a key to another room and said, "I hope the person who's supposed to check into this room doesn't show up tonight because I'll have to walk them to another hotel." The most bizarre hotel experience in my life.... perhaps we just stayed one too many nights.
