This Hotel Has Much Room For Improvement, Part 2
A man approaches the front desk.
Guest: “I would like to reserve a room for tonight.”
I run through the process, run his credit card, and take all the necessary details.
Me: “All right, sir, to get to your room, you can take the elevator, which is on your left.”
Guest: “Great. Is the hotel’s restaurant open?”
Me: “No, sir, it opens at 7:00 pm, but there are a couple of great restaurants nearby.”
Guest: “Sure, any restaurant will do; I’m starving!”
Me: “Okay, sir, the nearest one is two minutes away. When you get outside, take a right, then another right. After that, take the first left and then again, a left.”
Guest: “Great, thank you.”
Thirty minutes later, he comes back in with his bags, looking exhausted.
Me: “Welcome back, sir.”
Guest: “I did exactly as you told me: right, right, left, left. Yet I could not find my room number!”
Me: *Confused and shocked* “Excuse me, sir? You mean the restaurant?”
Guest: “What? No, the room!”
You can’t imagine how hard it was trying not to laugh at him while trying to explain what just happened. I mean, a hotel room outside the hotel, two blocks away? Really?
