Con Hotel Stories

[Anonymous No.7003347]

What's the worst experience you've ever had during your stay at a convention hotel?
Terrible roommates, awful employees, parties gone wrong. I want to hear about it.

[Anonymous No.7003370]

cleaning crew didnt clean out under the bed, found a dirty wet sports bra.
went to room party with people I just met, one of them was waltzing around without any panties...and she had a goal of trying to suck some guys dick from the host club (he was gay).
friends stunk the room up so bad because some of the guests didnt leave the room, they stayed in there and drank.
someone broke my prop sword and hid it in the closet.
Ive never had an issue with employees though, theyre always really nice.

Had a hotel once that would not accept cash. They would not accept actual, physical money presented and counted to them right there. Luckily, my best friend works at the head building that owns the chain of hotels. Heres a recap, they also did not speak much english (america by the way)
>Money es $_____.
>Ok, heres the money.
>No take cash. Need card. $250 safety on hold for breaking of room.
>Count out $250 and put it infront of him with the hotel payment.
>No take money. Card only.
>Fine get me your manager.
>Only women who speaks english. Shes looks 7 months regnant and smells like smoke
>"We dont take cash. We only take cards, for saftey deposite"
>Explain we have enough cash for that and why they wont take cash
>"I dont gotta esplain to yous. No card no room", and begins speaking in spanish to the worker at counter, both laughing
>Best friend had enough, pulls out her identification from the chain owner and has exects shaking down the place for its shit workers the next day.

I understand having a policy, but when they ever came out and started acting like fucking slum trash and insulting us in spanish (speak small bits and know the insults when i hear them directed at me), then I'm done. Apperently they were dealing out of the back and room service hadnt actually been changing the sheets, they were just fucking partying in the back.

>Ikkicon ###, I can't remember
>Front desk people are surprisingly eager and excited to see all the con-goers
>General Manager spends the whole weekend on the floor and freaking out at people
>kicks people out of rooms for breaking capacity (even though the people at the door were counting and there weren't even people standing, everyone had a seat)
>wanders through the crowd, shoving people and being generally rude
>some of the housekeeping throws out an attendee's things, including GH controllers and planners

And that's how I met some of my current convention hook-ups. I vowed to never go to Ikkicon again, though I've heard they've really cleaned up.

Probably the lack of down pillows. I don't room with social rejects, you see.

>Convention and hotel regularly fight
>Last year the hotel randomly pulls out a new policy Thursday night
>Hotel has its own staff controlling the elevators
>Only people with wristbands can get on elevator, 4 wristbands per room
>Everyone else has to go up to floor 10 and take the elevator there, or go up all the stairs
>All this because some jackass was booking entire floors and cramming as many people as possible into rooms to make a profit
>Hotel found out, freaked out
>Guy who tried to buy those floors gets everyone freaked out, people start thinking the stairs will be locked
>The whole weekend there was a rumor going around that the city's fire marshal personally came to the con and demanded the doors unlocked

Goddamnit these people

i see you went to youmacon.
supposedly even people who were only there for saturday events and needed wheelchairs were told they couldn't ride elevators to the different floors for panels, but had to be CARRIED on the escalators (for those not familiar, the ren cen mariott in detroit has the stupidest hotel design in the history of anything) lest they, oh no, sneak to a friend's room. they also demanded you had to WEAR the wristbands, you couldn't simply keep them in your pocket, and it was so bad they had kitchen staff, who had better things to do, checking for wrist bands at the elevators.

[Anonymous No.7003513]

>>7003481
The Marriott's design is stupid because it's not meant to really be hosting a convention this big. The speaking rooms and hotel are really just for GM.

But I remember the hotel staff basically stopped caring somewhere between Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I do remember a room key worked if your wristband didn't and my friends brought tape and scissors, while also putting on their wrist bands really wide. They're really paranoid about this year since the hotel supposedly checked everyone's room for room stuffing. I thought that was bullshit since that'd be something really impractical to do since they could only check so many rooms and often it'd be really hard to tell if there were a lot of guests or just a few people with a LOT of luggage

[Anonymous No.7003546]

To be fair, my horror story has more to do with the con's shitty management and friends drama.
>arrive at hotel for check-in, told there are no more double bed rooms (what we reserved) and that we would be given a roll-away as comp.
>okay
>finally get to room, no roll-away
>call the front desk, they have no more roll-aways
>don't really want to complain/cause a stink because we don't want to get caught for room stuffing.
>spend 4 nights on the floor with my boyfriend, with only 2 pillows and a tiny blanket because my friend, lets call her Sarah, has "back problems" and needs the bed. By the end of the weekend my entire right side is bruised.
>Also in the hotel room is Jay, Sarah's ex-boyfriend
>Because I am the mutual friend, I have to deal with hearing both Sarah and Jay bitch about each other over the entire weekend, yay me.
> One day of the con, Sarah goes back to the hotel room to sleep, but she apparently "can't sleep" without locking the deadbolt.
>Jay and a few others go up to the room to change, can't get in because of deadbolt, and Sarah doesn't wake up
>Jay's group ends up having to go down to the front desk, getting the keys switched and going back only to finally have Sarah wake up and let them in.
>Later on, Jay's group locks the deadbolt when Sarah and her friend try to get in, as revenge
>Extensive bitching from Sarah
>A few days after con, Sarah texts me and Jay, ranting that the weekend was ruined by Jay, and that I'm a terrible friend because I always side with Jay yadda yadda yadda
>Go to confront Jay, talk problems out
>Find out that during the weekend, at some point Sarah and her friend had some random guys they met at the con inside of our room
>never told me, never asked me or anyone else if that was okay
>Find out they were looking through other friends stuff

Just a few short little things:

>Friends or acquaintances getting drunk and vomiting on cosplayers' things, almost collapsing on top of sleeping people, bringing in assholes/sluts to the room.
>Fire alarm con: The alarm went off 4 separate times in the same night, half of us said fuck it and stayed in the room prepared to burn versus climbing down and up 20 flights.
>Flood con: one of my last A-kon's the sprinkler system on our floor went off. Before we went to line up for masquerade we had to put all our luggage on the beds in case the water got to our door before we were back. It was steadily rising.

>Some of these people are the biggest emotional retards I've ever met.
>Turns out, the guy who sorted out the room, was actually BANNED from attending the con.
>Room is cramped, smells a bit, gave up the bed so that a naive girl who never met any of us before could sleep on it. She was suffering enough as it was.
>Later I found out that another girl that was with us tried to molest said naive girl that night.
>Come back after the first day of the con, the room has been trashed by the deal offerer. His arms are covered in completely clean bandages.
>He claims that he had just stop a break in at a local estate agents by a knife wielding man.
>His arms are covered in 0.5mm thick cuts.
>There's a broken pen wit a sharp point in the bin.
>Escape so he can explain what happened to the room to the hotel owner.

This thread got me to call my hotel sooner to double check my reservations I made back in April for August. Had a minor scare when they said they couldn't find my reservation, but it's all good now. Found it and it should be all okay... Unless there are last minute changes? I'll call again closer to the date to confirm that there should be no troubles for my friends and I.

>>7003890
The dollar is legal tender in america and you cannot refuse it as payment because some people have money, but not cards since you have to have customer loyalty to a bank, which (while sometimes it dosnt seem like it in america), is not required to get things. If the hotel had the policy before marriot bought them out, then they had hid it from them and were using the process of no cash secretly from the company.

The reason why we pushed it was because my friend worked at the parent company and she had never heard of this cash ban. Like >>7003896
said, it was the piss poor service and outright harassment that made us call in the corporate hit squad. By the end of it all, she demanded, even as an employee, that we get comped. Paid $50 a night for a $300 a night room.

I agree, there has been nice hotels a bit further away but if you don't mind walking or taking transit, it's worth it.

Such as around Seattle. So far I've been at Queen Anne Inn (vacation), Max Hotel (vacation, Priceline express deal), First Hill Apartments (PAX), Silver Cloud Hotel Broadway (vacation, P.E. deal again), and Renaissance Hotel (Sakuracon), and soon the Baroness Hotel for PAX.

I really enjoyed Queen Anne Inn and First Hill Apartments for the kitchenettes and free breakfast (it's not much but it's free at least), and I'm looking forward to using the Baroness Hotel. It will be a lot closer than First Hill, like a 10-min walk instead of 25~40min transit. Silver Cloud Hotel is pricier (thus P.E. deal) and very nice, complementary shuttle drop-off at Convention Center and other places, and pick-up too till 10:30pm or something.

[Anonymous No.7004030]

>>7003899
We stayed at the Renaissance Mariott near the library in down town Seattle because an entire hotel got canceled for Sakura-con. Hotel staff...Fucking amazing group of people parking and wifi were free for the entire weekend because of us having to be shifted. Restaurant and bar staff were quite nice as well.

A smidge farther away than most hotels but you could take a shortcut to the convention center easy.

My country has a lot of hostels, so whenever I go to a con outside of town I stay at a hostel. Few weeks ago had my first horror story...

>Book for me and my friend a cheap hostel (10€ per night) near the con
>Since I like to change in peace in my own room, book an all female room
>When friend gets there and she discovers it's a female room, she starts bitching because "girls are messy"
>All the other girls are korean tourists that are really quiet
>She bitches all weekend about how "messy" they are
>She wanted to stay at a mixed room...
>There is only one toilet and one shower per floor and there are around 50 people per floor
>Have to camp in the corridor to go to the toilet and to have a shower
>Really dirty shower with no place to put stuff, have to leave towel on the floor
>Constant fear of getting some kind of disease
>Friend keeps bitching about the girls in the room and how it would have been so much better to be in a guy's room

This also happened over the weekend:
>Brother introduces himself to the people we're staying with by only saying "hi, I'm Anon's brother"
>Apparently he assumed everyone staying with us would know his name due to being a facebook group chat a few weeks prior (even though a few people in it dropped out)
>The whole weekend, no one but me and another person rooming with us knows my brother's name
>"He didn't tell me his name! Fuck, what was it? All he said was 'hi I'm anon's brother'"
>Proceed to refer to him as "Anon's brother" the whole weekend
>he gets upset by this
>As a joke, I get the voice of Duke Nukem, Jon St John, to poke fun at him for that

I only go to hotels to the biggest con in my country since I have friends almost all over the place and they offer to take me for free. First year I went everything was ok, but it was a bit far. For the next year, I decided to stay with 6 friends and my boyfriend at an inn which was only 10 minutes by foot, and a bit cheaper.

You can totally refuse cash payments at a hotel. It's a private business.

It's not like they're saying "your money's no good here cause you're black", they're saying "we need a credit card because people like to trash our rooms and skip out and we need to cover our asses."

Join 2013 and get a debit card that functions as a credit card, put the money in your account, and deal with it.

different anon, but isn't it kinda wrong just to spring something like that on paying customers without any sort of warning?

What the hell are you spouting about? I'd hate to deal with someone who has no idea about what they're talking about. Most hotels NEED a credit or debit card out of necessity. A $300 deposit is nowhere near enough to cover the damages in a nice room which can run up into the low to mid 1000's and cash leaves no trail for finding responsible parties. Also private businesses aren't obligated to do almost SHIT. They can straight up refuse to service you. Most of the times hotel accommodations or any "comps" are out of customer service rather than any real legal obligation. Common sense bro

[Anonymous No.7004611]

I've had bad luck with roommates, with the two worst incidents taking place when I was in high school. Some fellow students/acquaintances offered to let me room at conventions with them and I said yes, since it'd be cheap and I would be able to do my own thing or whatever.
But....

First time:
>Girl roommate and her bf (both landwhale weeaboos) had sex a few times in room despite having three others room with them
>Roommates left their dirty clothing all over the floors
>Bought tons of fast food like pizza and left it out
>All previous items placed where I was supposed to sleep
>Me and another roomy they brought get stuck sleeping on the floor with no blankets or pillows (I got the closet, he took the bathtub)
>Leave me and this guy to pick everything up after them, and help them out with their terrible artist alley table throughout the entire weekend
>Girl roomy that invited me disappears for half the con, leaving me by myself in a hotel room with three guys
>Can't complain for shit because their parents brought me there (and also received a good scolding from friends about trusting these people to room with them in the first place)

Second time:
>roommates leave all lights on at nighttime
>also leave on television at near-max volume
>leave wet towels all over the bathroom/didn't clean the sink
>leave their cosplay and artist alley materials all over the floor
>leave chinese food out for over a day without refrigerating it (that fucking smell)

On the positive I've gotten way better when it comes to choosing people I go to cons with, it's something I should have looked into when I was younger. I probably could've avoided a lot of trouble. Maybe I'm too high-maintenance but I cannot stand staying with slobs who just trash the rooms.

>guy says he'll drop if he can't get his girlfriend in the room with us, bringing us down to 6
>at this point I'm more pissed by the princess attitude than the extra person
>I tell him that I have to see what the other roommates want; if they prefer less money per person (if the gf rooms with us) or more space for the weekend (if the guy drops if we say no to his gf)
>Other roommates can't afford to have someone drop
>I'm told guy's other friend rooming with us may drop too if I kick the guy out.
>I have no choice but to allow ms. princess to stay

>they say they're 'soo apologetic' over backing me into a corner like this

Fuck I'm still pissed over it. I told her straight though, if I get any complaints or princess attitude from either of them at Otakon, their shit's out the door. I don't even know how you could be "omg so sorry for the stress!" and yet continue to insist to be a bitch.

My friend Joanna arranged a hotel room for us but since we weren't 18 at the time and couldn't check in ourselves, our friend Emily's dad came and got a seperate hotel room. Joanna invited our kind-of-but-not-really friend Kathy to save money on the room. On the first day, Emily's dad brought us to check in while Joanna left on her own in her car but ended up stuck in the parking garage cause they only accepted credit cards as payment. Emily and her dad left me at the hotel with Kathy to get J. As soon as Emily leaves, Kathy starts telling me her life story, about her supposed depression and anxiety issues stemming from her abusive ex-boyfriend. I have no idea what to say because I barely fucking know this girl so I make a few comments now and then but try to drop a hint that I'm not quite interested in this conversation by going on my phone and playing with my DS.
After 30 minutes of this she tells me that I'm "such a great listener!" and pulled me in for a big hug. After that, Joanna came and once we were all settled in, Emily asks for the room money. It was only $50, but Kathy says she is unable to pay because of a lolita dress she bought. She only had about $50-70 left and Emily didn't want to take all her money for the weekend. I wouldn't have been so annoyed if the dress wasn't ugly and ita as shit - it was made out of like, latex and had this terrible lace all over it with a maxipad headpiece. Later Emily's dad offered to get us dinner so when it was delivered, 3 of us left to go to her dad's room to get the food. We specifically told Kathy to keep her ass in the room so we can get back in. What does she do? Walks right out of the room without a hotel key as the door slams behind her. We ended up having to get all new room keys. The entire weekend she just kept doing stupid shit like that. Not exactly a horror story but I remember dealing with her was just so goddamn annoying.

I have never had an issue except once when we booked 6 months in advance and they put us on the second floor of a 30 floor place. It was one of those shitty rooms they usually keep aside for budget guests or booked out by flights in case a plane is late and people miss there connector flight and they have to put them up somewhere for the night. My beta friends were content with just dealing with the shitty accommodations but I wasn't pleased seeing we stay at that fancy apartment company at least once or twice a year and we are charged the same amount as when we stay on the 20+ floor.

Went back downstairs right away and saw the lady at the front desk who booked us in. Put on my polite distinguished gentleman act before I got off the elevator. Explained that we were dissatisfied with the accommodations especially as we had booked well in advance, that we stay at an oaks at least a few times a year and have become accustomed (yes i actually said accustomed) to a certain standard of accommodations from previous stays at other oaks apartments. She apologies and said our original rooms were currently unserviceable due to a flood on one of the upper floors. I told her how unfortunate that was and I completely understand but we had driven for about 8 hours straight and we were so hoping to stay in a nice apartment and how it would put such a damper on the rest of our stay if we had to keep our current accommodations. If there was anything that could be done we would be so grateful to her. She said she would see what could be done, called upstairs, put down the phone and said if we could gather our bags and meet her downstairs she had organized for us to stay in the penthouse apartments at no extra cost for the inconvenience. I thanked her, said my friends would be so pleased and went off to grab my friends and luggage.

They couldn't believe me when I told them what I did, to this day they haven't let me hear the end of it. I was just surprised it worked.

So far for me, around Washington (stayed at Seattle and Spokane), they take a deposit and when you check out they refund it. It's just a safety measure for them in case we screw up the room some how.

>I have heard from experience of people getting screwed over by some hotel who charged them for the mess they left, but they had pictures to prove they did not leave that mess.
I clean up before we leave to check out, so I never had any troubles of getting back the deposit. Also it's fine to have just yourselves to the room, less trouble and worry over having strangers unless you can trust them enough. Often it's nicer to have the room with less people than more.

This was a few years ago at Sakura Con, it was myself, my mother, a girl named Y and a girl named D.

>I’m dating girl named S. Break up with S.
>Y breaks up with boyfriend M.
>M and S hook up and start dating.
>S goes with girl named P to same con different hotel.
>Hear whispers from Y's friend that P and S are gonna be there.
>D is just friend there to spend time with her girlfriend N who is at another hotel.
>Everything good Thursday and Friday and most of Saturday.
>And then.
>S calls me at 11 at night during panel.
>S is drunk, barefoot and under age.
>Everyone but mom is underage.
I>’m still in love with S and decide to take her to hotel and hope everything is okay.
>P was in her hotel room inviting both men and women to hotel room and drinking/ sleeping with them.
>P is only 18 and got booze from her boyfriend whom she stole from her sister.
>S is actually here to attack Y for stealing back M.
>M broke up with S and M and Y are working it out.
>S calls P and M to come to hotel and say we’re holding her against her will.
>She sought safety at the hotel beforehand.
>P comes and Y is finally told what is happening.
>Mom calls S’s mom and tells her everything that happened.
>Cops come and get S out of our room and they take her back to their hotel.
>S’s mom picks her up from the hotel.
>Y decides to fuck everything and go to sleep early.
>Me and D hang out with people at the convention from 2-6 am Sunday.
>Y and me makeup after big heart to heart and we all leave happy as a clam.
>TFW we have to deal with P and S on Monday.

P is fatter than ever in college. Her sister pretty much disowned her after she found out she was sleeping with her boyfriend.

S has been having a lot of drama with Y and M and has been really stalker like.

Uh nothing too note worthy i guess, except a few light problems with the Westin at AX not waiting to take our room money IN CASH! they always put up a fight on taking cash from our con mom. She likes to pay everything cash since she doesn't trust banks too much. She still offers her CC for their insurance and hold policy, but she only lets them charge a min of $100.
As she states, "I AM GIVING THEM CASH, WHY WONT THEY TAKE IT! ITS CASH!" Although I think its her job as a CHP that makes her paranoid about banks and CCs sometimes.
I haven't been to many hotels with them over the years, we tend to stick to the same hotel, the only others I been to are The Maya when AX was in long beach that one year and I think it was the Sheraton at Anaheim in 2006 was it?

Decide to go to fanime this year the week of the con. The only hotel with openings is a Sheraton four points. Think nbd I don't think it will be bad. We got a king suite for like $140 and it was just me and my mom and that bed was so blissfull.
The only downside were the weird guys from the bar I had to pass to get to the elevator that asked the usual questions. The story gets much worse from there and involves marshmallow fray boy Cupid and a koala. I'm about to take off from Boston to go back to LA but if people are curious I'll post later.

I dont really have many hotel horror stories, i usually room with three of my best friends and weve never had problems. Except for the last con i went to when the four of us stayed in a suite with five other people that we barely/didnt know (i knew the one guy from another con and he brought us into the room since everything in the hotel was booked out). I really dont feel like typing it all out on mobile, but heres the highlights:
>On thursday night (it was a 4 day con) a guy and his GF (who werent even staying in the room) got a girl (who ALSO wasnt staying in the room) drunk for the first time, and she proceded to throw up and literally shit herself in our bathroom. She laid practiacally comatose in our tub for 4 hours until her friends drug her out.
>a guy who looked like jesus let me borrow his belt (which was really fucking awesome actually)
>on friday one the one girl in the room brought back some guy from the rave to our room and they fucked in our tub for (i shit you not) 6 hours straight.
>there was a freaky ass gorilla mural on the wall that came really close to keeping me up at night.
>later friday night the same girl and the guy who i knew (the one who organized the room) had what was described to me by one of the other roommates as "either really rough sex with clawing and shit, or the girls first experience with anal." I later saw that guy cleaning up a pile of bloody sheets.

>saturday night the same girl again brought some random guy from the rave back to our room at about 4am. All of us were in bed by this time, and my friend the organizer got really pissed and wouldnt let them in the room. He then burst out into the hallway and beat the living shit out of the guy she brought. He got free and they were thankfully able to talk it out and everything was resolved without legal action.
>we had to hide a crate of everclear in the oven.
>i made friends with a guy who i later discovered was actually an MDMA dealer. I still have his business card, hes actually a pretty cool dude.
>i had to sleep on a bumpy ass chair and the one other guy (who was by far the coolest guy in the room, was the only responsible one, picked up and cleaned all his friends shit, really awesome guy) ended up sleeping in a ball at the foot of the bed where his friends we sleeping and almost getting hypothermia for all three nights.
The rooming situation was complete shit, but in the end i got to meet some really awesome people (mainly the cool guy in our room), i had a great time at the actual con, and by some miracle, none of my cosplay stuff was damaged or stolen. So all in all, id say it was still a really great con. Plus now i have my share of ridiculous stories to show for it!

So when I was at AFO when I was still underage (17) like two years ago, I decided I would room with some people I knew but had never roomed with before. They're all pretty responsible adult types with jobs and stuff. They assured me and our other friend there'd be no alcohol since we were both underage. Everything was nice and organized. I was kind of nervous just because I had never roomed with any dudes before, let alone adult dudes. But I was like "they're all responsible, we're fine" Like they even warned us "hey this one guy has like a criminal record, so we thought you should know before hand, just in case" even though he turned out to be a total sweetheart and not at all a problem.

So when we get there, there's already some sort of purple alcohol being passed around by the bottles, and most people are buzzed going on drunk. Whatever. I can deal. I'm not gonna be a fucking baby about it. So I'm ironing my crisp, clean, white apron for the next day when this guy who's staying with us (a huge, muscle-bound, ex-military guy) starts poking his nose in my business and talking to me. He's got his purple drink perched precariously in his hand, about to spill on my apron. Plus he's up in my face and I'm a really tiny, underage girl at this point. And he's making jokes about how tiny I am, and I tell him to back off because I don't like people whose muscles are bigger than my head. So this asshole fucking flexes his bicep next to my head and I can see clearly his bicep is bigger than my head and I am FREAKED. So I finish as quickly as possible and get the fuck out of there.

One of the girls in the room had her ex-boyfriend stalk her to the convention and try and force his way into the room several points during the weekend. To the point where we had to call hotel security (which was some old skinny white guy) to come tell him off because he was banging on the door and loitering. I think at one point he stole my badge because I had left it in the room when he was there, and we couldn't find it even after everything was packed up.

So Buff Guy at some point in the day decides he's going to be the girl's "protector" so in the middle of the night he and the ex-boyfriend get into some sort of drunken fist-fight in the parking lot. He comes back in the room drunk and ranting about how he always has to be "Superman" and save everybody (he cosplayed Superboy) but he'll gladly protect everyone because he's that nice of a dude.

Meanwhile, my friend Alli, the other underage one is like, quivering next to me because she hates fighting and this dude is going nuts. And I'm trying to be as still as possible and not draw any attention towards us. When the guy like... PUNCHES the wall, and we just heard "FUCK! AND NOW I'M BLEEDING!"

That's understandable. You'd just said "in the bathroom," so I had to draw my own conclusions.

Still would love to see the actual contract. If nothing else, I bet there's some funny shit in there that's in there for a purpose.

It's like when you read a "funny laws" website and read shit like "It's illegal to get a moose drunk in Alaska" and realize that the law exists for a reason. Like somebody got a moose drunk and it destroyed public property or was wandering around downtown and being belligerent or something.

I think I'll make copies of the contract available before meeting at the hotel. So everyone is warned beforehand. Twice I've encountered the "Surprise Additional room sharer" and even though they cough up their share of the room, I'd rather part with the extra 60 for room to stretch. Can I suggest before you pull the contract on your friends or regular roomates? Don't do it if you are all used to each other. springing this on them might put a strain on your friendship, I think. Pop the contract only on rooming with new people.

I just fucking remembered. Early this year, one of the conditions from one room sharer who agreed to pay 1/4 more is that no one will, play, sing or hum Gangnam Style. If she hears that song in the room, she retracts her fee share and we have to pay for her stay. We agreed to that and to her box of cookies.

At ConnectiCon this year I was at the Hilton, one of those places that are connected to the con center. I enjoyed staying there, but I found the whole experience kind of weird.

It was my second time booking a hotel. I registered my friend's name on there, and he had to go to the desk himself to get the keycard after he put in some payment. I just assumed when I put my card's information that the hotel would have charged me already, but I was stupid and didn't check my bank account for it when I signed up in like January.

So first night there my friend's brother broke his leg and he had to go to the hospital that night then drove back. He got his keycard and his card got declined since he didn't have enough money on there, but he said he was in a hurry so they let him have his card.

The next night at 11, hotel staff came up to say my room was locked because my card got declined. They must have charged everything onto mine after my friend's card got declined so it didn't split half and half like the staff assumed. To this day I have no idea why it declined since I had more than enough money. I think it was because I wasn't there to authorize the transaction. I went to the ATM, got the cash, gave it to the desk, was paranoid the rest of the next day.

I don't understand how you put up with this? 5 star hotels are supposed to give you top notch service regardless of your person, as long as it's not illegal. I could be a goddamned Satanist with a choking and dog fetish, with a male prostitute in a female dog outfit in a cage with a choke collar on and a huge ejaculating Kakashi tattoo in my room, and they would still have to be polite and serve me because I fucking paid for their service and the room. Not to mention you guys sounded like you hid your powerlevel, and that comment about old men or cosplayers was completely out of line. I would've called up the hotel manager or regional director for the chain to officially lodge a complaint, and ask for my stay to be comped or a free dinner or something.

>mfw luxury hotel stays have always been wonderful
>mfw only get this sort of behavior from a fucking inn or something

Once I ordered room service at a Hyatt, and the skewer in the burger was splintered. I politely called and lodged a complaint, and I was offered another free meal as well as the price of the burger waived. Was pretty full already as I'd finished most of the burger and all the sides, so just went for a free fruit platter and some soda water. Are all hotels in the US like this? Hotels in Asia tend to be pretty top notch. Once room stuffed in a 3 star hotel with a bunch of people and ended up spray painting the carpet by accident, hotel was still super polite about it and we paid the damages accordingly.

I had gotten a room at a 'nearby' sister hotel of the hotel the con took place in. The information of the convention provided said that there would be a bus going to that hotel every 15 minutes at the train station, and they had a deal with a taxi service for cheap trips. When I was at the train station my friend and I found out that there was no bus going to our hotel. When we called the taxi service we found out there was no taxi driving that night. We had to walk for hours with our luggage till we finally arrived at our hotel at 2AM. We had the same problem the next night, despite the convention calling the taxi service and complaining.

Different Ohioanon than the ones you responded to (there's a lot of us apparently). You'll get dirty looks. Last Michigan game, some students went around and covered every M they could find on campus with red tape. A good amount of that tape is still there. The rivalry's pretty serious.
Also confirming what they said about staying the hell away from campus during home games, the area can't cope with the massive traffic influx.

I wonder how my friend copes with that since she's from Michigan too. Probably gets a lot of jokes about it.

And oh cool, looks like she's probably going to be living in an off-campus apartment around Ohayocon, so maybe traffic will be less annoying?

Just because it's legal to take something doesn't mean it's illegal not to. I could choose to demand tokens in exchange for goods if I wanted to, and nobody would be able to force me to accept cash.

This happened at the most recent AX to me.
>Go to dance on night 1
>Take a drink from the water cooler
>10 minutes later, start to feel light headed
>Someone must have spiked the water cooler
>Head back to hotel room
>Get in and see everyone I'm staying with is in there
>Go to sleep right away
>Wake up around 4 am to go to bathroom
>Suddenly, a daki of my waifu (pic related) is laying right next to me
>"uhhh...cool..someone got me a Kanade daki
>suddenly see about 6 condoms with white liquid in them
>yell "AHHH DUDE WHAT THE FUCK?!?"
>Friend tells me I fucked the daki last night when I was sleeping
>"what, NO I DIDN'T"
>"trust me, you said the water cooler was spiked and this happened"
>suddenly think to myself "Oh god did I really somehow get a daki and fuck it with everyone watching"
>They all go back to sleep
>I'm freaking out for the next couple hours
>When they wake up I say "OH MY GOD I'M SORRY IF I DID THIS WHILE YOU WERE ALL HERE."
>friends start laughing their asses off
>tell me it was all a prank
>get really pissed at them
>hours later we all just have a good laugh about it.
>sell the daki to me for $40

Upcoming one.

>book hotel room at marriott for otakon
>tell people 9 months in advance what the price is
>six people "guaranteed"
>One dude gets new job, is denied time off, is entirely honest about this
>One girl gets fucked by her credit card company a week before convention, paid for badge but no longer can afford con

but this motherfucker.

>insists he can go
>insists hes 100% on board
>wants to bring his cousin
>1 month before con, goes dead fucking dark, refuses to answer facebook or text messages
>finally get a hold of him week before convention
>"Oh, I was only asking for someone else, I've been booked with a friend of mine literally since last year!"
>desperately search for fill-ins
>everyone I know either already has a room or cant afford it

so, yeah, I have to pay an extra $250 for my hotel room this year because some asshole decided to lie to my fucking face. That's basically my entire merch budget, fucking gone.

Oh, and the best part? I have a friend of a friend who organizes large groups in multiple rooms who could have probably fit me and my remaining roomies easily, but this asshole pulled this shit so late that I can't cancel the room without paying $200+tax for the first night.

When in a showering situation like that just wrap your head in a towel turban and wash your body.

When your body is clean, wrap your body with the towel and wash your hair.

Takes a little practice, but it's not impossible.

Also, learn to give yourself a whores bath. Half a bottle of water and a little soap. A sink, if you've got that luxury. If not, just use a towel or a bucket of some sort. Get the soap a little wet, rub some water on yourself, scrub as best as possible, then use a little more water to wipe off.

Babywipes are amazing.

We roomstuffed in Custom House (which I think is now owned by Ibis) last October, and it was a nightmare. The room was fine, but my friend thought 10 people in 19 sqm was a good idea. I'm moving to Docklands soon, though, so I'm just gonna be staying at home for future Expos (once I've worked out the night bus routes).

happy hotel stories are RAAAAARE because hotels hardly ever go out of their way to make your stay more than what you expect.

You get to see the room before you go, you know what you're paying for, and you know if you're getting breakfast or not, so it's kind of hard to surprise you.

Then again, when its your friends who are the cause of the bad stories, it's easy for them to do things you don't expect :D

It's important to take note that very few (if any, i don't quite recall) of these stories are due to the hotel/hotel staff and not due to other guests or roommates for the weekend.

The weird part was that the guy was fucking huge. It'd be hard not to notice him, but somehow we never saw him inside or outside of the room.

Try telling that to car rental places. All the big names refuse to take cash or check, it's only debit or credit, and half of them don't even take debit.

Why don't people sleep on the fucking floor? I'm so tired of these martyrs going, "Oh, no beds, I guess I'll sleep in the closet/bathtub/on the table/in the mini-fridge/standing up in a corner." Just grab a blanket, a few soft shirts for a pillow, and find a spot of floor that you can lay on. If there's no room, shit can, ya know, be stored in the closet or on the table. Fuck.

Ongoing con "drama" story.

>C-minus 5 months, Sakura moves out, leaves town
>Move in with friend Nami in new place
>C-minus 45 days, Sakura moans and whines about not being able to afford hotel and con
>Nami doesn't really want to let Sakura with us because she gets ultra-downer when she realizes she has to go home
>C-minus 1 month, Sakura can suddenly go to con, we're wondering how, since she's supposedly broke
>C-minus 2 weeks, Sakura informs Nami that they're going to be a cosplay pair, has
>C-minus ten days, "So, Sakura, you're going to have to tell me how to make the props"
>She's also really mad that myself and Nami are fa/tg/uys and we're playing our campaign finale on friday, instead of Nami hanging out with Sakura at the con

I have no idea how much drama had happened that I'm not privvy to, though.

Sorry for not being hotel related. I just need to vent.
