For real. Never had any experience like such with hotels. And thankfully had experiences like yours as well (local treats in our room when we showed up.)

Hotels are great IMO.. I'll never stay in an airbnb for so many reasons but primarily because they've fucked housing markets around the world.

Yea. They are a donkey. Hell, my last vacation from the States to Costa Rica and Panama had zero of those problems.

Well, vegas, Bellagio, vdara, aria... The gas issue was a luxury hotel in oregon. And outside of the gas issue, the place was certianly nice. Just brain dead front desk lady with no one else on sight.

Adjoining rooms. If you don't travel with kids, you don't know that pain. But 95% won't guarantee anything. Of the 5%, they are always mysterious "sold out" of that thpe of room, though they have plenty of room empty.
