Dear #hotel manager:
It's hard to "give us a good rating" when you can't fix your billing issues. Seriously, your location should be using the corporate-wide software platform, and then it is just a matter of training to get similar results to the rest of the chain.
I do suspect that training _is_ the issue here, but if not, replace your systems, so you can train your employees on something works.

#Hotel switch accomplished.
-
I don't know who @cosmo_the_snail is, but they have decorated one of the elevators at this #hotel. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/284208

Considering going back to stand in testing line. Although I've been mostly in my #hotel room since my #COVID-19 tests in mid-December, I noticed a slight runny nose and some coughing this morning.
-
Finished today's #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). Today, the #hotel's coffee is watered-down, but still tolerable.
-
I missed the #hotel's #coffee time, but I did find a doughnut shop that is open today, so I have my coffee to go with my #yogurt. #YoCo

A #VPN provider that I used shut down without much notice (in fact, the only way I found out was that I visited their site months later, trying to figure out why I hadn't been able to connect).
The #hotel I was using had a local provider that blocked #Fediverse instances (including Mastodon.Social), #Diaspora, #XMPP, #IRC, and a certain mail provider that I still use. They did not block: #Facebook, #Twitter, #GMail, or Outlook / #Hotmail
Because I couldn't connect to the VPN, I discovered how many perfectly normal sites were blocked because they weren't on the top 100 list. I went downstairs and informed the front desk that I would be leaving their establishment because of their blocking.
I received a phone call from their networking vendor, who logged into their router and proxy and turned off filtering on a list of about 25 sites they'd blocked.
But the point is, the hotel and its provider cannot be trusted not to fsck with your data. Always use a VPN.
-
Always use a #VPN when connecting at a #hotel, #coffee shop, or similar public network. Besides the venue's ISP potentially doing evil things, you also have no idea who else is on the network or what they may be doing.
-
The #hotel manager asked me how this one compares to the previous hotel. No answer.
I mean, I like some things more and some things less, but I would probably need 3 months in each to decide whether one is definitely better.
-
The new #hotel room is a lot smaller than the previous one. And no drawers, so either my clothes must remain in the suitcases be hung up.
This isn’t the worst hotel or room I’ve had since I got to #NYC, so I’m not complaining. Well, except for the abominably slow #hotel_Wi-Fi #Internet service. It is almost as though they have a dial-up modem connecting the network to the wider network of networks called the Internet.
-
The new #hotel's #inet is considerably slower. Around 1.2 Mbps down, 1.5-9 Mbps up. Before any #VPN, so it is even slower in reality.
-
I've been occasionally glancing across at the building across the street. After being here for some time, I just realized that the top of a person's head that I've been seeing is actually some piece of artwork attached to a wall. I've been at this #hotel more than a month.
-
@geniusmusing There was one next to my #hotel when I worked in New Hampshire ( #nh ) for a month. I had no cash, but I had plastic, and they took it. I ate there twice a day for the first three weeks. Maybe I was just hungry, but #Five_Guys seemed really good.
The #nyc franchisee could just not run them well, but this is quite a different experience.
-
The microwave oven in this #hotel room is not working. I suppose it is probably a circuit breaker that flipped.
-
I'm out of #yogurt, but I'll go downstairs and have some of the inferior stuff the #hotel provides. Meanwhile , #coffee is ready. #YoCo.
-
I went to the #hotel's laundromat, since today is my only day off. #coin-laundry day.
-
Working from the hotel today. First thing I discovered is that ... with our "Enterprise" rules enforced, you cannot log into the #hotel's captive portal with Edge. You have to use Firefox or Internet Explorer.
We'll soon be back to distributing little hotspots for mobile access, because travellers will not be able to connect any other way.
-
I'm starting to wonder what the #Hotel's ISP is doing to guests' traffic. My #VPN keeps disconnecting for several minutes at a time. Fortunately, Mullvad's client software blocks everything until the VPN successfully re-connects. (I've always just used my system's #OpenVPN software with previous VPN providers, but I could never get it to do this.)
-
Went on a walk after I had my #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). Saw some sort of rally going on. Realized it was time to urinate. Walked back to the #hotel … and housekeeping was in my room.
It was close. If it had been much closer, it would have been time for #Depends.
-
The hotel's laundry rooms are not recommended. Poorly maintained equipment, water drips on the floor, dryers don't have anywhere to vent to ... so the room heats up as you use it.
As a whole, I wouldn't recommend this #hotel at all.
