The hotel we stayed in was horrible. It was dirty, the complimentary breakfast deal was shoddy, and ...
there was a biker convention going on there!
(And the mattresses were very, very uncomfortable and old.)
Mom was "fit to be tied." (Those are her words.) After several trips to the lobby to ask that the tub be cleaned and the drain Drano-ed and other such stuff, Mom was thoroughly upset. Monday night we arrived back to the hotel after our TOTALLY AWESOME walking tour around town (see previous blog), and we discovered that all of the parking by our hotel was being used for bikes and bike vendors. Mom was not just "fit to be tied." Mom's stare could have melted metal! The hotel manager insisted that nothing could be done. Mom insisted that she was not leaving until something was done. It was a stand-off that caused fear in both Terry and me. We knew that if Mom did not succeed and get some money back, we would be searching for another hotel at 11:30 at night. Mom won. It made us proud. It also taught us a thing or two about standing our ground and demanding what we deserve.

Above are scenes from our hotel parking lot. I have also included a picture of the Choo-Choo's promise: We promise to make it right or you won't pay for that part of your stay."
