The Brown Hotel has moved me, as promised, to a much swankier room.
It is a very nice room—however, I was a bit disturbed: there is a Kentucky Derby themed throw on my bed and two robes in my closet—standard amenities for this floor. Each was accompanied by a card that announced it was “provided for your comfort and convenience.”
Each was followed with a brief notice that if we wanted to take it home, we could. $75 for the throw and $85 for the bathrobe.
General feeling: I am happy—they have recovered from their disaster and made me happy—especially happy since the room includes breakfast—usually standard fare in Europe but not so standard in the States.
Way to complain Adam!!! Sometimes it’s the only way to get what you want! 😉 Heh. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow!!!!!
Oddly, I didn’t really complain–I did ask what my compensation was going to be, but I was too tired to really complain at the time–in fact the desk clerk said they were looking for a comforter, and I said I didn’t need one, I just wanted to go to bed…
I never really got worked up about it — which probably surprises y’all, but I swear its true!!!
*laugh* I don’t really believe you, Adam. I’m double checking with the hotel staff to see what a holy terror you’ve really been!!!! I know you want to look like the good guy on your blog, but we know the truth!!! Or maybe someone just thought you looked like you deserved some special treatment???
