Yours Is A Very Bad Hotel
Yours Is A Very Bad Hotel

This post is part of a series in which LinkedIn Influencers and
members share their business travel advice and stories from life on
the road.
Have a bad hotel or airline experience? Today you can fight back with
social media, but it wasn’t always so. In 2000, my colleague Tom
Farmer and I rolled into Houston at 2 a.m. and headed straight for the
DoubleTree Club. We had guaranteed our room with a credit card and
called in advance to say we’d be late. But the soon-to-be famous Night
Clerk Mike had given our room away and had none to spare. As you’ll
see he was also not very helpful. In fact, he was the opposite of helpful.
He and helpful lived in separate zip codes.
