NO ROOMS!

[bhskittykatt]

I actually got so fed up one night, I literally told a guest,

Me: "Well, I can get you one, but it will take some time. I need to call up a contractor, get the construction materials here, the building permits, furniture, and so forth. So you may want to take a seat. It will probably be a few weeks, at least."

They seemed to get the message and left.

BHS: I'm SOOOO tempted.

I was asked...."dont you keep rooms aside for emergencies"

Yes, and your failure to make a reservation ahead does not begin to qualify.
File the above under "How I would respond if I could get away with it>"

EVERYONE knows that all hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, youth hostels, etc. are REQUIRED by LAW to always have a room set aside just for ME!

But of course it's illegal to turn travellers away! The next inn is going to be in the next town, and that's up to a full day away! (I'm assuming that actually got taken off the books, right? It's not just ignored because no one in authority is stupid enough to think it still applies?)

1. You are not Mary & Joseph.
2. We don't have a stable.
3. The jackass here isn't your transportation.

You have my sympathies.

I get the same thing with flights. You see, they're not REALLY sold out when I say 'sold out'. So, PLEASE commence asking me 42 different ways if I'm sure the flights are sold out.

I'd suggest that you tell them they can sit on the wing, but I have the feeling that someone would probably take you seriously.

I've gotten pushed to that point a couple of times. My responses have referenced sitting on the wing, in the cockpit and in the luggage compartment.

But that's another story for another thread.

I'd rather have a gremlin on the wing of the plane than a SC. Nightmare at 20,000 feet indeed!

LMAO *just pictured a Gremlin flying by Pepper and Pepper just staring at it and slowly clocking out to go home* LOL

My boss did sell the laundry room once for about $15 a night. It was at another property. But that was during a major, extended power outage in a big city in the middle of winter. The laundry room was heated, and that was all people cared about.

Twilight Zone/Shatner FTW!! Love that ep. And yes, a SC would be MUCH scarier.

I totally would too.

Even the big sign plastered on the front door "SORRY, SOLD OUT" doesn't stop people from asking.

I don't mind calling competitors and checking for rooms, but please don't get mad at me because the only rooms left in town are at the budget hotels.

This woman didn't believe me that I was sold out and she called the 1-800 Customer Service # to report me. Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.

Ah now, you know you have the magical 'Spechal' multidimensional rooms JUST for them. Why you lying? Hmm now see that is an idea...

All those in the hotel business need to talk to the owners about building a 'special' room alright. One with padded walls, just for those oh so "Spechal" 'customers' (to use the term loosely).

....and that room comes complete with comfy jammies!
