MAOOO!!! >W<
Now I know it has been about 5 days since I was at the hotel, the Quality Inn to be precise, but I read a link featured in a friend's journal about another person that had a dreadful experience. I must tell of mine, and post a link so that you may be aware. Now, don't get me wrong, FurFright was amazing! And if I weren't leaving in 2 months and might not be able to make the next one, I would be planning for the next one right now! But this is about the hotel....
Two months before the convention, I had made a call to the Quality Inn's number to book a room. I told them that there would be about 10 people in the room. They told me that was fine, we would just have to keep it down. That was all fine. The room was booked.
Thursday I show up, keeping in mind that 3 people had to opt out of the room. So with 3 loss, we were still under what was expected. I checked in with a nice man at the desk, can't remember his name though. He was very helpful, and I let him know that there were 7 people instead of 10. He was cool with it, and got me and
dragonzoomer into the room. We chilled a bit, and then went exploring. That night, 2 others showed up. We went to pay for their part of the room at the desk, and all of a sudden, there is someone new there. His name was Sam.... This is where all the trouble began... I mentioned there were 7 people in the room, and then he goes to tell me that the limit was 4. Then why as I not only allowed to bring 10 at first,and then the other guy said the 7 was fine, if the limit was 4?? So I get annoyed, and just pay and head back to the room.
Friday night rolls in and the final 3 arrive. Here comes Sam being a royal pain again. I had to make it like they were being escorted to another room, since he wasn't going to get off my back about this. It worked Friday night, until we had a mini party with 3 other people that would be living. Keep in mind, only 3 other roommates that are in the room paid are with me. The other 3 people were leaving. Suddenly the phone rings. It's Sam, telling me that the people need to leave, since the limit is 4 in the room at ALL TIMES apparently... So
skwirl and I decide to go downstairs and talk to this tight-wad that was watching our room! We get down to the lobby, and there's the little wimp on the phone with his manager! Skwirl talks to the manager, and tells him what was going on. And since I was allowed 10 originally, and only 7 showed, the manager said it was fine, and told Sam to leave us alone.
Saturday morning I find out that they took money out of my account, without letting me know, and are holding it on the room. First off, you are supposed to let someone know if you are taking money, not just assume it's o.k. Found out it was authorized by none other than fucking Sam!! So I get annoyed, and go down to the desk, and go to complain. But the nice man is there, and I talk to him. He sees I'm upset and distressed by all of this, and talks me through everything. He says it was wrong to take the money without letting me know first, so he helps me out. I end up leaving the money on the room anyway, since I was just fed up with Sam and his bullshit ruining my con experience.
The days continue nicely, and when leaving I noticed... Sam isn't there. Maybe he decided until after the con was over he was gunna stay home to stay away from me... Thank God! I recommend the Quality Inn since it is clean, but the rooms smell like smoke, since every room is smoking, yet they have signs that say no smoking on every door... >_>
And now the link...http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2831659/ This was from a person that stayed at the Super 8... After reading this, I think it's safe to say I'm not staying there.... Cheap or not!!!

Shitty staff at both hotels to a certain extent, it seems. And both of the overflows seem to give hell in some way. Yep, next year I'm staying at the main hotel.
