Camera Numero Cinque

WOOOHOOOO, we are in Wichata Falls TX for the Divisional Air Force Sergeant's Association Conference and it's FUN!!!!!

Yes, here we sit in the Hotel from Hell!  What do I mean by that, well let me explain.

We arrived here a few days ago and we are already on room number 5 (Camera Numero Cinque)....yes you read that CORRECTLY...room number 5!!!!  So let me give you the run down of the room situation...

Room # 1 (302 Already Lived In) - it all started with the first room when we checked in.  We head to the 3rd floor with a room overlooking the indoor pool and jacuzzi...it looked awesome.  When we opened the door, we found that the room was "lived in"!  What does that mean????  Well, there was trash in the trash can and the room was lived in with the towel "pre used".   I guess they just wanted to make us to fill "at home"!

So we headed back down to the front desk to "request" another room.

Room # 2 (322 No A/C) - We checked in and everything seemed to be OKAY!  So we turned on the A/C and headed off for the icebreaker only to come back about 2 hours later to a HOT room...yes, HOT!  The A/C was NOT working properly and it had been on HIGH for over 2 hours.  So, here I go again, back to the front desk for them to give me Room #3 on the first night.

Upon giving me my new keys to room #3, I moved all of our baggage and clothes by myself.  MrsBlue was enjoying herself at the icebreaker.  However, when I was almost done, MrsBlue came looking for me since so many people were asking where I had disappeared to.  She kept telling them I must have received a call or something related to work!!!  No, I was just changing rooms.
Room # 3 - (355 Another A/C problem #2) - We moved into this room since it had, I repeat, HAD a funcational A/C unit which we could control.  This room had A/C but also included a little bit of some other stuff...I couldn't believe the holes in the walls and the mold under the vanity...





However, that wasn't going to last very long.  At about 0500 this morning, the A/C unit acted like our alarm clock or Rooster to notify us it was time to get up.  So I did...get up and TURN OFF the A/C.  So we decided to leave the A/C off for the day and give it a rest.  However, when we returned this afternoon after the conference, we found that the A/C would not turn back on!  You heard that right....we wore out the A/C unit in one night!  We like it cold, but one day!!!!!  How could this be happening?  So, we once again we decided to give the hotel another chance for the maintenance to FIX the issue.  We headed to dinner and some Casino time and returned a few (about 3) hours later only to find NOTHING had been done.  When I called down to the front desk, they had moved us to another room (Room #4) and left the keys in the room...however, no note, no info, no message on the room voice mail....nothing.  Only after I called the front desk did they tell me that the keys were "somewhere" in the room.   After a little "hide and seek", I located the New Room keys and we decided to do some Recon before making the move with all of the bags.  Off to Room #4 we headed...

Room # 4 - (308 Smelly room...musty for sure with an pungent odor) - It didn't take long for us to realize that Room #4 wasn't going to work.  MrsBlue thought she "smelled" something as we approached the room.  But once we opened the door, we knew this would NOT work.  So here I go again...headed to the front desk one more time.

Room #5 - (259 working A/C for now) - We arrived at around 2230 at the NEW room.  The A/C works (for now) and the room is somewhat "clean"!  At least we can take off our shoes on the carpet!  Let's hope the room is good enough for the next two nights!

So once again, the Adventures in Blue continues.

If you get a chance to stay in Wichita Falls Texas...look no further than the HoJo!!!! NOT!  Please pass it and go somewhere else!
