A Hilton Garden Inn guest found her light blue swimsuit turned white and yellow after she and her friends took a dip in the hotel’s hot tub, which smelled like bleach. They reported it to the property, which tested the water, and began treating it. The jacuzzi was then closed.
If there’s one thing I try to avoid when picking out a hotel for vacation it’s the ‘resort factory’ – the kind of large place where you have to get down to the beach or pool before 8 a.m. and place a book or towel out to have any hope of getting a chair.
A great staycation can be getting a room at a local resort and enjoying everything they have on property, but you can do this without even booking the room. Many resorts offer day passes, and some people go without buying the pass. And it can make a great place to kill time before the airport, especially if you don’t have guaranteed late checkout where you’re staying.
In 2001 a Hooters restaurant in Panama City ran a contest for their waitresses. The one who sold the most beer would win a Toyota. At least that’s what the manager said, or what the waitresses thought they had heard.
