An Extraordinary Hotel Experience

Image
A few years ago, I traveled to Los Angeles for a meeting. I checked into a nice hotel in the night.  Everything went smoothly until I opened the door of the room I’d been assigned. A man came to the door in his pajamas with a toothbrush in his mouth. Fortunately, he was a friend of mine, in town for the same meeting.  We were both "SURPRISED" to see each other in this way.  I told him that this would be a mistake made by the hotel desk. I went back to the hotel desk and told the lady at the desk that someone had occupied the room. She apologized to me and upgraded my room. After the meeting, I checked out of the hotel. I found that the hotel did not charge both rooms. It was an extraordinary experience, but I was lucky. I could not imagine what might have had happened if the guest in the room had been not a friend. It was a close call. Story by Kuang W. 

When I opened my hotel room, what do I hear... Seroiusly?

" As a businessman, I travel a lot.  One time I was at the CES convention, you know, it's a really Big show.  When I returned to my hotel, used my room key to open the door, guess what, there's a person in the shower - ' Seriously'? " " If I was a bad person, I could go check out who was in there, but, I didn't.  I went to the front desk, they apologized to me, they were so sorry, they even comped my room." I wish the hotel had the technology so guests could actually see their room status.  If I'm a guy and think about these things, I can only imagine how businesswomen traveling alone feels.
