Unconscionable! I returned to my room late Saturday night with a handwritten note to see the manager when I returned and that I needed to pay $90 cash. There was a lock on the door knob so I couldn’t get in.
Knocked on the managers door, he couldn’t tell me why I needed to pay $90, even when I showed him the receipt of my room from Hotels.com. He just smiled creepily & said he needed $90 cash.
When I asked him to call the property owner, he said it was too late. I asked him to just let me inside to gather my belongings, which included an expensive backpack and laptop computer, he refused and was just smiling the whole time. It was surreal to be dealing with this at 1:30am.
He said he would not call the owner, so I asked for the number and called her. Using my phone, over speaker phone, she explained that I had paid for the room and needed to be let back inside. She then went on to explain that it was another room that needed to be charged $75 cash for 5 hours (felt so weird that they were discussing business on my phone while I’m still waiting on to be let back into my room). The guy never apologizes, just gives me the weirdest smile. And unlocks the door.
Felt so filled with adrenaline at the prospect of either fighting, breaking the door, or having to deal with police that I couldn’t sleep. I actually barricaded the door in fear that the manager would enter while I slept.
To top it off, my leg was sliced by a bed spring popping through the mattress and it was my bday
