Hotel/Motel do you check the price of the rooms before booking in.

Or are you normally so tired you could not care about the cost.

Here is a little something, that may help change your mind,

If you do not check prices first.

"Next time you think your hotel bill is too high you might want to consider this...


Husband and wife are traveling by car from Melbourne to Noosa.




After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they’re too tired to continue, and they decide to stop for a rest.

They stop at a lovely hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.




When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for $350.00.




The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.00!




When the clerk tells him $350.00 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager.




The Manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for the husband and wife to use.




'But we didn't use them,' the man complains.

'Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains the Manager. He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. 'The best entertainers in the world perform here,' the Manager says.




'But we didn't go to any of those shows,' complains the man again.




'Well, we have them, and you could have,' the Manager replies.




No matter what amenity the Manager mentions, the man replies, 'But we didn't use it!' The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a cheque and gives it to the Manager.




The Manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque. 'But sir,' he says, this cheque is only made out for $50.00.'




'That's correct,' says the man. 'I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with my wife.' 'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.




'Well, that's too bad,' the man replies. 'She was here and you could have.' "

Will this help you to make sure you check the prices first. LOL

Heehee...I'm a writer remember? And consider myself more a fiction writer as that is my first love and genre though can do "serious" informative articles as well....Glad you liked it..since I DO happen to live in the NYC area..do know how expensive exclusive hotels like the Plaza can be....and believe me wouldn't mind spending a stay there myself

here's a link to The Plaza hotel itself...

myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7319)   ranked 1 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

Holy Cow Pye, that sure is one posh Hotel.
I may drop in to visit you while I am staying in this hotel.
I only want to stay there for one, so I can knock off their "24-carat gold plated Sherle Wagner designed sinks and fixtures in every guest room and suite".
I think these fixtures would look great in my bathroom.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8874)   ranked 5 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

Did you look at some of the other luxury hotels in the same chain around the world??....I'm not sure but I think it was a Plaza penthouse suite that was featured in the movie Pretty Woman..did you ever see that movie?


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7319)   ranked 1 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

I did see Pretty Woman Pye, many many years ago.

Was that a true story Goodie? Excuse me for being slow, it's Monday morning here in the UK! Nevertheless a brilliant one either way, had me in stitches, I didn't realize there was a punchline which made it even funnier (Goodie rolls her eyes!) thanks for sharing. Oh I always check before I stay at any establishment, mind you they usually charge you at the beginning anyhow in the smaller places, I don't tend to go to hotels far too expensive for wolfie's purse;0)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7319)   ranked 1 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

A couple have rented a cabin near a lake. He's been in the rowboat fishing on the lake and comes in to have a nap leaving all his fishing gear in the boat. The wife decide to take the boat out so she can read her book as the boat floats gently on the tranquil lake. She's enjoying her afternoon when she looks up to see the park ranger approaching in a boat of his own. He puts his fingers to his hat and bids her good afternoon and asks her if she has a license to fish. She explains that it's her husbands gear, he has the license, she is merely enjoying the peace and quiet while reading her book...which she is holding. He says, sorry ma'am, you're under arrest, you have the equipment, I have to assume you will use it. So she says...in that case I will have to charge you with sexual harassment. Smirking, he says, "How do you figure to do that ma'am?" She says: "You have the equipment, I have to assume you will use it"

"You have yourself a good afternoon ma'am" he says as he rows back the way he came.

That is funny.
Of course I check prices first. I check into everything. I am a bit of a freak. I read EVERYTHING about everything. May seem silly but it comes in handy.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7319)   ranked 1 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

Can you imagine anyone's hubby actually doing this Ruth. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. Ruthep (4171)   ranked 19 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

Well, my husband is a smart@$$ and if he was pissed off he might do something similar.
Probably not though cause he wouldn't want to go to jail.
Take out the jail possibility and it could happen. w00tw00t
Yep, my man is unconventional, but he's all mine.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7319)   ranked 1 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

My man would do the same Ruth. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. Ruthep (4171)   ranked 19 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7319)   ranked 1 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

We just want to hope the 2 of them never meet Ruth. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. Ruthep (4171)   ranked 19 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

I think we are safe. Your husband will have to come here. Unless you can drive there my husband won't go.
So the day they build a bridge from here to Australia is the day we will come over.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7319)   ranked 1 out of 1,066 in humor  4 months ago

Sounds like your hubby is like me Ruth.
I will not fly either.
