Substandard standard
Returned to my native country after a
15 yr absence and decided to sample one
of "the best hotels".$289 for a room??
Fine.Paid up and checked in (relatively
painless).The room however was a
disappointment.A flat mattress with
worn out linen,old chipped furniture(as
in deep gouges),a no-working ancient
telephone,shaky bathroom fixtures,brown
water from the faucets(it stayed
brown),worn out towels that literally
tore as I stretched them,dead TV
remote,Stained windows,cold Jollof rice
from room service,let me stop there...
I kept repeating to my self"they call
this place a Sheraton?????"
Checked out the next day and moved
across town to the (somewhat better )
Meridien.On my way out I noticed a
plaque next to the registration desk
that read "Hotel of the year(or
something like that) for 1989."
That figures.
