I have to be in Atlanta today, and arrived late yesterday afternoon. I was trying to save money, and so booked a Ramada that Hotels.com had for $70 with taxes. The customer ratings were about 3.5 or 4 stars.
The room itself was a little worn, but otherwise okay. But there was a baseball team that occupied most of the rest of my floor. From about 7 pm until well after 2 am, they were yelling up and down the halls, slamming doors, and generally being obnoxious. I couldn't hear the people in the next room, so the soundproofing must have been okay. It was just that these guys were that loud.
I called the front desk three times to complain, but near as I can tell, they didn't do anything.
I was talking to a sales rep this morning, and he said I should have called the cops. I didn't think that a guest could call the cops, but only the management. Anybody know about this?
I once had to take a room in a motel in Portland, OR where the desk clerk was behind bulletproof glass, there was graffiti sprayed on the bathroom walls, and I found a used condom on the bed. At least I was able to sleep there, though.
