Trip to St. Louis, Bad Hotel Stay
We spent last weekend in St. Louis at a Cardinals game. It was a good time but the hotel stay was pretty bad. I won’t mention the hotel because they are in transition and they did give us a free night stay. But I want to share some stories which i thought were funny. We got to the room and it was about 80 degrees, hot. It was 90 outside and we wanted to cool down. The room also had trash in it and everything in the room was unplugged. Now we can pick up a little trash but we wanted the air fixed. So we called down and they sent someone up. While we were waiting we noticed that throw pillows had some black, almost like grease, substance on them. When the air guy came up we told him these pillow were gross and to take them away, he did. He did his thing with the air and left. We were sitting in the room just talking before we headed to the arch when there was a knock on the door, it was a maid. She said that she had some pillows for us. We took the pillow and she left. Wouldn’t you know but the pillows were same pillows that we gave the air guy about 45 minutes earlier. We just laughed about it and went on our way. I just couldn’t believe they brought us the same nasty pillows back. It makes me really nervous when I think about how gross hotels are.
Oh and the air wasn’t fixed. We sweated all night after we got back.
Overall the trip was really fun. We went to the cardinals game, went to the river boat, went up in the arch and went geocaching in the city. Now we get a free stay so we will have to do all the fun stuff again.

Glad you had fun at your game but what a drag that the AC was broken and the room was basically disgusting. i can’t believe hotels can let that fly and still charge as much as they do for such service.
Over at Hampton Inn, we go the extra mile to make sure our guests never have to experience a bad stay. We’ve even humorously put together a video where the guy plays a distressed guest rhyming about cockroaches, dirty linens and disturbing color schemes
Check it out – I’m sure we can all relate.
