Wrong Room, Right Name

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 29 Aug 24

It's not like my name is all that common. Although, I guess Bauer is not all that uncommon. I mean, consider the ubiquitousness of Bauer in the business world. There's J. Bauer Trucking. There's Bauer Tools, Bauer...

Third Times a Charm

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 29 Aug 24

Sometimes I go through life wondering, "Does this stuff only ever to me?" We got to the hotel and checked in and were given room 118 at the Baymont Inn in Kennesaw, Georgia. We get into the room and the bed is unmade. The...

Kennedy @Deken00 (8) • United States 27 Jul 23

Let’s talk about accommodations while on the road. This is something I think will interest Jim (@porwest ), and he may back me up on some of this. My just-completed vacation was 12 days long. I spent 11 of those 12 nights in...

Hotel Coffee Troubles

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 26 Jan 23

If I have not mentioned it, I got to have my coffee. And when I travel on business it is not uncommon for me to ask for extra coffee packets so I can have as many cups as I want. Many of the hotels have coffee available in the...

Hotter Than Hell

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 24 Aug 22

Normally when I walk into a hotel room, even on the hottest day, I walk into my room to find icicles hanging from the ceiling from them leaving the air conditioner on super, duper high before I arrive. Of course, that is a bit of...

Nicely Done

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 5 Jul 22

I am always railing against some of the "non-perks," as I call them, of being a diamond member of Wyndham hotels. But today one I have stayed at consistently for three or so years straight has gotten it right. Don't get me wrong....

The Bad Chair: Super 8

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 9 Jun 22

One of the things I find with Super 8 hotels which are part of the Wydham Resorts group of which I happen to be a diamond member (woohoo! It doesn't mean anything at all, lol) is that there is never any real consistency from one...

Hotel With Terrible Customer Service!

Mary M. @soulkissed2003 (49) 15 Oct 21

Well, so H. hotels has decided to only give us 30,000 H. Honors points, which pretty much means nothing, maybe it'll ALMOST cover a crappy location. That means we're out of pocket for the stay that didn't happen last Friday...

A Room With A View

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 8 Jul 21

"Checking in for Bauer. B-A-U-E-R." I always spell it out for them so they don't confuse my German name with the British version, Bower. I had booked my reservation on the Wydham website as I normally do. I am a diamond...

Not Going To Outsmart ME, Fool!

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 17 Mar 21
