Hotels

@Queen Victoria: You were in Hurricane Katrina? Wow.

@Jack: I think the talking elevator is for the blind people.

I think the worst hotel I ever stayed in was the Regent Palace in Picadilly Circus, in London. The hotel has since closed down. Cockroaches, shared bathrooms, and crazy drunk students (the worst were from my group, LOL). It was okay but unusual that the blankets and curtains and stuff hadn't been changed since the 70s. The first floor was totally different from the upper floors for the most part; it had nice parts. And oh yeah, one of the maids or someone stole some desserts (danishes) that I had bought at a grocery store from our room.

No wow necessary.  We evacuated before she hit.  We were away over a month, no damage to the house.  Two elderly, distant cousins drowned in their home.

The best was a hotel provided by Delta when we got stuck in Atlanta because of weather delays. Our plane ran out of fuel and had to land, then couldn't go on because of the weather.
In a startling show of unasperlike behavior, Pyraxis argued for overnight accommodations for us. The person said that they don't give accommodations and Pk said, "Our plane ran out of fuel." The woman gave us hotel vouches and we got dopp kits and went to the most amazing hotel I've ever been in. The beds were two stories high and there were comforters that were six inches thick.

Unfortunately we only had a few hours there.

A not so close second is the hotel we stayed in when moving here - they put PY up like a movie star. First we stayed in The Queen Elizabeth Hotel (old and fancy), and then moved to Le V, which is a hotel and apartment building combined. Seriously fancy.

We normally stay in the Hampton Inn which we find a slightly pricey but predictable and comfortable. The one we went to regularly in Clearwater had a pool and hot tub as well as a nice garden with a gazebo.

We have had some bad ones but I should be sleeping....

I like the Hampton Inn...they've just put one up less than 3 miles away from me.

Now if everyone starts making me too crazy I figure I'll rent a room for the night, spend some time in the pool and have breakfast. 

My SIL is working there, I might even get a discount.

My latest is the European Hotel near King's Cross, London. This one is OK-ish. It's reasonably clean and surprisingly quiet, so far, but that's probably because my room is in the back of the building and the view is to a magnificient brick wall about 3 feet away.

OK.

It is a pretty good wall to look at.

Better than the one I see from my back windows.

I don't mind all that much, tbh.

They probably didn't sleep well either.

I think it's a beautiful wall. I love natural textures. I'd rather have that than white-painted drywall any day.

Ok maybe not three feet outside my window.

I'm staying at a Red Lion on Friday/Saturday.  Not really looking forward to it.

It's a nice wall, but you know, it's a wall. I'd appreciate something more.
