DISAPPOINTING AND DECEITFUL
i drove to Oak View for a weekend. attracted by the images of the accommodations, i booked a one-person room. i looked forward to getting in, kicking off my shoes, and putting up my feet on the coffee table and stretching out on the couch before going to Ojai.
then i arrived. the man working behind the desk was sitting in the guest area. he was on his phone, texting someone. he wasn't in a uniform. he had no name tag. just a guy near a desk... then he told me that he was actually the maintenance man and that he was moonlighting at the front desk. huh? strike #1.
when i checked in, it appeared there were ample vacancies. i could've been given any room. yet, i soon learned that i'd been put next to a guy who insisted on whooping (literally, the dude was *whoop*-ing) at a video game or something. this he did for hours... strike #2.
but when i saw the room, i'd knew i'd been deceived. it was half the size of the "1 Bed" picture. it had no couch and no coffee table for my feet. in fact, it had nothing except for a desk, one chair, a dresser and a bed. they'd charged me an elevated rate for a closet-sized, glorified motel room! i ONLY checked in because of how the room was depicted... but it couldn't have been less luxurious.
a sort of hotelier's bait-and-switch? strike #3. you're out.
La Quinta would've been cheaper. the room would've been bigger and they would show me what it really looks like. i should've gone there... and i HATE La Quinta.
