Hotel Stay/Mini Vacation

We went down to Washington on a mini vacation, stayed in a nice hotel. Lost lots of money at the casino and did lots of shopping.

Now, there were a few issues I had with this hotel.

1: No room service
2: Terrible breakfast buffet
3: Shower head

Please allow me to elaborate on each item I listed.


Room Service:

We are in the middle of nowhere land. If you want food you have a choice, either get food out of a vending machine OR go into the casino and pay an astronomical amount for a crappy hamburger. I forgot, you can get into your car, get on the highway and drive 10 minutes to a town with no garantee of anything being open.

I chose to go to the Casino and order our food. For my husband and I to each have a hamburger, it cost me $18 and it took them 30 minutes to make it. I could have gone, slaughtered the cow, minced the beef, cooked and it served it in less time then it took them to over cook them. And if you get your food from the casino, be prepared to have your food served smack dab in the middle of all the SMOKERS... Yummy!

Breakfast Buffet:

Breakfast buffet, what does that mean to you and me? Well in my books it is Scrambled eggs. sausage, bacon, toast,cereals,eggs benedict etc. right? Wrong!

It consisted of Cereal, moldy tasting fruit, toast, juice, danish and make your own waffles.. which would have been fine if the waffle makers were always working!

On the first day I go down, looking forward to making myself a couple waffles. Hmm only one waffle maker, so I stood in line and waited my turn. So I get ONE waffle, tummy still hungry.. go back, stand in line to make another one. Ok that and LOTS of orange juice helped suffice my gurgling tummy.

Second day, go down and figure I will have the same since I am not big on cereal or toast. WHAT??? No waffle maker, I of course ask where it is. It is broken. A huge frown is now upon my face.. argh

So now my breakfast entailed Orange Juice and yucky moldy tasting fruit and a pre packaged danish. Just what I wanted.. can I say losing weight!

Shower Head:

Ok whats up with these water saving shower heads? I personally do not have one in my home, considered putting one in once since my son takes 1 hour showers.. lol.. Ok just a slight exageration there.

Anyway, I get up and want to take a shower. So I go in, get my shampoo and rinse, my own bar of soap, I always bring my own, hate that hotel crap they call soap, get my razor and I am ready to go have a nice hot shower, or at least I thought!

I wet my hair, shampoo it, but now I can not seem to get the shampoo out of my hair, the shower head is not strong enough. After about 5 mins of playing with rinsing my hair, I think, do I DARE put rinse in my hair as I always do. I did, and while it was in my hair I washed myself up with my soap (dove). So here I am, in the shower.. At LEAST 10 minutes have gone by since I got in there, I am struggling to get the soap film off my body and the rinse out of my hair. I still have to shave my legs.. this was fastly becoming a comedy show.

So, about 20 mins later I finally get out of the shower very frustrated by that experience and since I normally only take less then 10 minutes at home, I could not wait to get home to take a REAL shower.

Someone PLEASE tell me how is this saving water if it takes me twice as long to shower?

I have come to conclusion that I will NEVER EVER EVER buy one of those stupid things. Save water my butt. If my kid takes long showers now, imagine putting one of those in his bathroom.. hahahah.. I would never get him out!
