Hotel Ramada is where we are staying. One of the interesting features of it is that the hotel keys rarely like to perform their simple but vital function of opening doors. This means that several times a day we are outside our room - often with full bladders - performing door opening rituals and begging the card to please work this time. The cards do not seem to respond to begging and so several times a day we can be found tramping back down to reception asking them to reset our cards. This morning when we tried to get into the internet cafe at the hotel the key would not open the room and it was ten minutes and a can of WD40 before we could enter the premises.
I know you like to hear this interesting information. I could have told you all about the Phuket Fantasea show we went to last night with the dining room that seats FOUR THOUSAND people and the follwing show that had TWELVE elephants as stars but I figure that our room key irritations are surely more interesting.
ah yes, it is those KEY issues that add a touch of romance and hilarity to any trip.
ReplyDeleteMy alarm bells would've been ringing earlier however, as I remember that while watching Family Fued or Wheel of Fortune in the early 80s, it was "guests choose to stay at the Ramada Inn...".
- perhaps the door locks are getting dated now?
happy travels.
