Also at hotels while traveling .... ask for a better room or any upgrades. Worst thing anyone will say is no.

But if you're lucky to run into a manager in a good mood or even the owner, they'll give you something just for asking.

I don’t think my motel 6 has a better room than 2 full size beds and free HBO

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They might at least not put you next to the hourly rentals

And miss out on the free entertainment?

But then you have a longer walk

Pay-per-view comp?

I already paid $5 to turn the cable on.

I had a guy try to stab me because I asked. I'd categorize that as worse than no.

If that happened to me at a hotel .... I'd give up my prebooked room and leave, no matter the cost ... definitely not a hotel I'd want to stay in.

Thats just the usual hotel experience

The sheets were clean. And i got a free fridge magnet.

Ah yes, I also remember staying in Glasgow once.

Okay I feel a story is needed here

We're on the internet. I made it up.

I appreciate your candor.

Thank you.
At least Im admitting it. Nothing wrong with a chuckle.

Did you sue for millions? If not, you missed your shot! I chipped my tooth on a Taco Bell burrito once because there was a bone in the ground beef, and I still kick myself 20 years later for not sueing them.

I did. They promised me a harrier jet, but never came through with it.
