April 30th – my Brother’s birthday.
To start off, this hotel stay has nothing to do with my brother’s birthday; it is just my way of again wishing my big brother a wonderful day.
Well, I had two negative stays in the metro Salt Lake City area, and now two positive.
The two positive are at the same location in Park City Utah; Best Western Landmark. 95.00USD (however since I was a repeat customer, I was able to reserve the room at last year’s cost of 62.00 USD.)
The first time through, we stayed at a room that was nicely pointed, clean and directly across from an access outside, ideal for walking dogs.
The drawback for that room was that it is near the vending machines, and the main hotel traffic.
The room I was assigned tonight is 305. Rooms 304-307 are near the far end. The third floor exits via a ram with a couple of steps to the parking lot. This end of the building is quieter in comparison. Put it this way, the dogs are not reacting to the hallway noise.
There is a ski gear rack at the door, with a hidden closet w/safe behind a false mirror. The carpet passed the white slipper test/white towel test – i.e.: clean”ish”. (There will always be dirt.).
The King size bedroom seems larger than the double queen; a nice large sofa and sitting area with a small sitting table.
The bedding was a thin down comforter wrapped in two layers of sheets.
Considering you are in a hotel, good night’s sleep, until morning.
We were able to receive the previous stays rate. It never hurts to ask for a cheaper rate!
Well, there was a small snow storm. Not common for the first of May. With the coldness of the hotel, and my early rise from bed, it took 7 minutes for the show water to heat up to warm, and another 12 minutes before I had a hot shower.
This I did not mind. I am used to waiting for hot water to travel through cold pipes. Most would be upset, and justly so. For me, it was not an issue.
However, and here is a however, when I went to walk my dogs, I had 2 inches of ice/snow all over the vehicle, with my window scrapper buried 3 suitcases back and 4 suitcases wide, with frozen doors.
I called the front desk and ask if I could borrow someone’s scrapper. The hotel clerk said, and I quote, “No, you can buy one of the hotel’s scrappers.” With little choice and no one else up at the hotel, I had to purchase the Best Western scraper.
Morning staff lacks customer service.
Sub note: I am drawback to some other dog owners that stayed at this Best Western. The dog area full of poop. Nice hotel that will start banning us good dog owners who do respect their property. This is very poor behavior by people who don’t care about someone else’s property.
Pretty soon they will not be dog friendly for those lazy people.
