Hampton Inn, new location, Bakersfield
Pre check in. Car parked in front, probably checking in, except nobody in the lobby besides the clerk at the counter and myself. Probably not since it was still parked there after we came back from dinner 3 hours after check in. Lime Green Chrysler product, Challenger perhaps? Odds it was an employee car???
Check in. The well tattooed woman wasn’t quite rude, but close. A robot would have been friendlier. Business cordial? Ha Ha Ha. Got me checked in though.
Heat-A/C. Finally got the fan turned on, but it shut off by itself a couple of hours later. Early onset Alzheimer’s? Or just too cheap to let me try to stay comfortable?
Bath light. An auto switch. OK at times, but can’t be disabled so those 3AM RR calls one is greeted with a very bright light walking in. The built in night light is plenty, but not for the mental midget who designed or spec’d this one. Taking a bath or shower? Make it quick, it will shut off and put you in the dark.
Phone on night table by beds, taking up half the limited real estate there. It’s a new place, architects/designers should know everyone has a cell and often a lot more these days that likes to live on the nightstand.
TV. Everything seemed to default to Netflix, which I’m sure is pay per view. Click on Broadcast TV and up comes Netflix.
There's actually much more but I'm limited to 1500 characters. Not good, avoid.
