Hubby & I have been thinking of taking an overnight trip, so last night I was on the computer looking at possibilities. The grand Coulee dam over in Washington has these laser light shows (on the dam) in the evenings, so I was looking at motels in the area.
One in particular offered two pricing levels on their rooms. I first clicked on the deluxe.....Queen beds, sattelite TV, Coffeee maker in room. Sounds Good! Being the frugal person I am, I clicked on the lesser priced one. -Queen beds, sattelite TV, Coffeee maker in room, No dam view.
It stuck me so funny that my hubby had to come check what had me laughing back here. I mean, story of my life,.... a room with 'no dam view'. Last month in Las Vegas it was the parking garage,...(tho hubby thought that was alright 'cause he always worries about the car getting dinged up in the small spaces, and he could see our car!)
In Reno, we had a great view of the Post Office.
In Hawaii I looked out over a golf course. Some might think that's great, but hey,...the ocean was the other way!!
In Atlantic City we saw an inlet which curiously resembled what we call a swamp. Again, ocean the other way!
I wish more Hotel reservation services were that honest when it comes to booking your room!
