so we had guests coming from out west. they were to have stayed monday nite but called and said they were stranded at the airport, could they stay tuesday nite instead. easy as pie ... we are not busy ...
when they booked their room, they asked for the folding cot for 'grandma' ... that just did not sound good to me at all. and they had a tight budget, etc. etc. ... so for $50 more (remember, we are really slow midweek) i offered her a separate room. her own bed, her own bathroom. much much more comfortable than the other arrangement!
they arrived yesterday and the couple loved their room, but grandma was 'disappointed' ... no water view, not very big, their room was so much nicer than hers ... a few minutes temper flare i thought .... she seemed quite aggrieved
... and all three stood watching for my reaction.
i patted down my hair to hide the steam rising out of my ears and said, 'let me know if you need anything else' and left.
i WANTED to say 'did you know that for $25, the kids had you sleeping on a folding cot in here?'
certainly, they could let her sit in one of the wing chairs in their room to gaze out the window or at the big desk looking out. i don't suppose they told her she was going to be on a cot.
p.s. guess who paid the balance on the rooms?
