Damn what kind of hotels have you been staying at, that’s almost impressive.

Hotel: what do you mean you want guaranteed adjoining rooms. We don’t do that. You just have to roll the dice when you show up. Oh, and show up late, we will give you a room with the dumpster outside that gets emptied at 6am.
Also hotel when the room is in obvious disrepair: maintenance has gone home for the day (at the 4pm allowed checkin time), call again tomorrow to get the whining AC unit looked at. Oh and the windows don’t open and we don’t have fans.
Hotel: you want two toilets for your family of 3 since we can’t get you adjoining rooms? Ha ha ha. No.
Hotel: resort fees for the fitness room you don’t need or want. Yeah, those aren’t refundable.
Hotel: you smell gas in your room. That is completely normal, I with my degree in (maybe high school) am sure it is completly safe.

The gas one was a luxury hotel in Oregon. The place overall was nice. But very short on staff. And thenone person at the front desk was clearly brain dead.
The others… major chains here and there as well as mgm properties in vegas.
Most travelers don’t travel with kids. They are usually traveling for business. So they don’t have the issues of adjoining rooms, or having to put 3 or 4 people in one room. Even the “suites” often only have one toilet. That’s because they cater to the solo travelers, or couples. They don’t really want families.

Airbnb: what do you mean you did not want to be next to a methlab? That costs extra.
Airbnb: oh yeah, we overbooked and someone else will be staying there too. Nope no discount available.

Never had either of those issues. And never knew anyone who actually had those issues for real. Just random internet people who claim it happened. Though I do favor vrbo over airbnb. But I doubt it’s much different.

The same can be said for your anecdotes.

Ok, so sharing my experience is bad? I never said that the things that happened to me happen to everyone. In fact in other threads I said most travelers are traveling dor business and not with kids. So the adjoining room and such doesn’t matter then, and is probably why plenty of people haven’t experienced my issues. But I’m the bad guy because I didn’t rip on airbnb or something? Ok. I thought this wasn’t reddit. My bad.

I had to check this wasn’t ash shitpost community with a comment as embarrassing as this. Do you make a habit of being this confidently wrong about literally everything?
Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I am just describing my experience. Just because it wasn’t yours doesn’t mean it is wrong. Of course with an ego the size of yours, that is probably something you can’t fathom.

You gotta start reading hotel reviews, I’ve never had these problems. The last hotel I stayed at had fresh baked cookies (still warm) when we arrived at 8pm to check in.

For real. Never had any experience like such with hotels. And thankfully had experiences like yours as well (local treats in our room when we showed up.)
Hotels are great IMO… I’ll never stay in an airbnb for so many reasons but primarily because they’ve fucked housing markets around the world.

Well, vegas, Bellagio, vdara, aria… The gas issue was a luxury hotel in oregon. And outside of the gas issue, the place was certianly nice. Just brain dead front desk lady with no one else on sight.
Adjoining rooms. If you don’t travel with kids, you don’t know that pain. But 95% won’t guarantee anything. Of the 5%, they are always mysterious “sold out” of that thpe of room, though they have plenty of room empty.

Yea. They are a donkey. Hell, my last vacation from the States to Costa Rica and Panama had zero of those problems.
Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Outside the US is different for sure.

Can confirm, stayed mostly at hotels during a trip to Japan, no problems. Also had to stay at a hotel during a layover in San Francisco, was also fine

Ok. My hotel in Saco, Maine and Plymouth, New Hampshire were nice, clean & good amenities(no resort fees). Within last 12 months.
