"You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen." --Tyler Durden, Fight Club

Stayed at the Philadelphia Hilton

posted Thursday, 23 March 2006

My husband came here to Philly for a job interview and I tagged along.

We're staying at The Hilton.  So far, the best thing about it is the *free wireless network connection (*free as in it costs $10 per day).  Other than that the room is really crappy.  The curtains have big holes in them.  The blanket is greasy.  I wonder how often they wash those.  I guess not often enough.  Seriously, I've stayed in Super 8's that we're nicer than this.

Right beside me is a lamp with a broken light bulb socket and the bulb is dangling down past the shade.  There are also two burn holes in the lamp shade.  You'd think someone, I don't know...maybe a maid, would have noticed that?

I also called down to the front desk and asked for an internet connection kit and the person who answered asked, "Do you mean a wireless network kit?"  I said yes and she snapped "I don't know," and hung up on me.  It took me a minute to process just what the hell happened there.  Then I called back and someone else answered, and said she'd send one up right away.  About the first lady that answered, that was beyond horrible service.  I don't care if she was having a bad day, someone needs to fire her ass.

To sum up my mini-review: Don't go there.
