I kept thinking about the last time I had to go to this city.
I couldn’t get into our normal hotel and I had to go to an unusual 1. I had a suite that had the worst heating, ventilation and A/C plan I had ever experienced. I was so grateful to only need to stay there 1 evening. I couldn’t think of a hotel that charged that much per evening, would have such horrible client service and heating, ventilation and A/C. Now, I had to return to this same area, but I was to be there for three evenings. I called our official hotel chain, but I was once again told they had no vacancy. I was aggravated and a little bit angry. I told them I had a sitting suite, and he told myself and others that I needed to check in at least two weeks ahead of time. I had only missed the two month deadline by two afternoons. I tried to reason with him and asked about a smaller room. All I needed was a bed, a table with a chair, and enjoyable air conditioning. He hesitated a bit too long for comfort. I could just see the same thing happening again and I would end up in the hotel that had the absolute worst heating, ventilation and A/C. The clerk came back on the cellphone and apologized for the extended delay. He said he would let myself and others have the Presidential suite for our normal rate. I didn’t think I was going to have the biggest suite in the hotel. This worked out perfectly. I could hold our meetings in our room, and have perfect air conditioning and comfort.
