Hotel Room Sabotages
Beds!Now Playing : "Honey" - Tosca
I'm back, folks!
I think I may need a holiday to recuperate from this holiday. My trip to PD wasn't as relaxing as I hoped it would be for a number of ridiculous reasons, although I won't go as far to say that it wasn't an okay holiday as well.
First off, our two hotel rooms were not adjoining and to get to the other room, we'd have to run up and down four flights of stairs. This being a family holiday, I didn't feel as though we had spent it being as a family when we retired to our separate rooms.
The biggest peeve I had with the hotel is that our toilet got clogged up and by the time it was 3AM, it was overflowing! That being said and being so late at night, I spent the first night with my entire right arm submerged in the toilet bowl trying to unclog the damn thing with a hotel-supplied toothbrush! Good thing it paid off--when I went to check in the morning, it was finally unclogged! Of course, our toilet seemed to like sabotaging us because later the tap produced no hot water!
The room was also not thoroughly cleaned, as I found bits of hair trapped under the legs of the bedside table. The extra blanket and small pillows reeked of old furniture smell and was dusty! Also, Jules and I got locked out from the room because as we opened the door, the loose metal latch caught on the door! It's a good thing that June was in the room at that time or else we'll have some major hard time getting back in!

This is pretty minor, but I've decided to include it in the list anyway. In the lobby, I saw several people with laptops and wondered if there was a wi-fi service available. So I went to a female staff person to ask and she said "no". So fine, I didn't think about it after that. Then on the last night, my dad shows me this small sign at the concierge counter saying that there indeed was a free wi-fi service!! Talk about not training your Legend Hotel staff properly! Terrible!
Also, we paid a visit to the ostrich farm but to our dismay, the maintenance of the place has dwindled drastically and all the poor animals looked quite absymal. I could be totally wrong about this if it was molting season though *blush*. From the looks of it, the park doesn't seem to be able to generate enough revenue to properly maintain the place and this is really not good, especially for the animals.
Err....Anyone spot what's wrong with the picture above? We couldn't believe it when we saw it while we were walking alongside the beach yesterday. I'm not sure if this person knows that the Nazi flag is universally sensitive but to put it up at a toy stall is preposterous! I've got a feeling that whoever put it up must think it's cool to do so. *Eurk!*
Hopefully the next holiday I take would have better memories for me to take home.
