Last year my daughter played on a travelling soccer team. We all stayed in the same hotel for a tournament last June. The coach's wife was upset b/c she found a dead bug in the toilet and a hair in the tub. Our room was completely fine. It's not the Ritz, but it did the job. We only sleep there and perhaps swim for a bit. The pool was fine. Continental breakfast was great. Waffles, english muffins, cereal, fresh fruit, etc.
Fast forward to this year. We're making hotel reservations. The coach's wife chose another hotel. It's a bit nicer..but nothing fancy. It's in the same area as last year's. The difference? It's $20 a night MORE and you get 2 double beds instead of 2 queens that we had at last year's hotel.
I haven't told Molly yet, but I think she's going to be disappointed but it appears we might be doing another tournament that next weekend on the north side and will need to book a hotel stay again. $40 total is a big difference...that could pay for our food..so we are likely booking the other hotel, the one different from the coach (and her friend)
The coach's wife is an admitted germ-phobe. I..on the other hand..am not. For me, flush the toilet..bug is gone. It wasn't a huge bug. Bugs happen. the hair could have been from the maid's head for all we know.
Soooo what do I do?
