	Two Years Ago 3:55 am-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Bad Hotel Permalink Fuck me silly. I missed the two year anniversary of the second time I got fired from the worst hotel ever. So pretend it’s the 17th of September and celebrate with me on two whole years since I got let go over the phone by listening to that phone call: Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser. Played 148 Times The 27th of this month will be two whole years I’ve worked at the good hotel. Time flies when your having fun.Which really is thanks to the douche bag and the sheriff for firing me. A week later or before and I wouldn’t have had the job. It really was perfect timing. You see the guy who was working first shift at the good hotel wanted to get out of the hotel business. The lady that was doing the third shift wanted to move to the first shift. I just fell into place. Honestly I couldn’t have planned it better. Big thanks again to the the douche bag (ex gm) and the sheriff (my old boss who still is a pussy I’m sure).

	Ramada So Bad… 4:38 am-Turk Comments (1) Show » Bad Hotel Permalink It’s little things like this Betterbidding.com forum post that makes me chuckle to myself: I used PRICELINE for the first time. My bid was accepted by a Ramada Inn. I had requested a 2 star. When I mentioned it to someone where I am visiting, I was told that “nobody stays here. Even the police are afraid to go there.” I researched and found police reports and news articles that mentioned gang activity, brawls in the parking lot, armed robbery of the hotel, etc… I called Priceline and spoke at length to 2 people and was told that there are no refunds or cancellations. I don’t want a refund-I just want a different hotel in this town, even if I have to pay a little more. Do I have any options? Just how bad is it getting that someone using priceline doesn’t want to stay at the worst hotel ever for a cheap rate? Here is the chatlog with Gawain when I told him about it: [06:08] Turk: here is a great forum post my ramada inn south beloit google alert emailed me [06:09] Turk: you may have to scroll up [06:22] Gawain: hahahahaha [06:22] Gawain: those fuckers might as well close. [06:22] Turk: no shit [06:23] Turk: they don’t just to spite me [06:23] Gawain: hahhahaa. [06:23] Gawain: its totally personal. [06:23] Turk: oh yeah And I do feel sometimes they stay open just to spite me. They must know how good I will feel when they die a horrible death. I can out wait them though.

	Bar Fight! 12:08 am-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Bad Hotel Permalink I love seeing bad press about the worst hotel ever. And it’s good news (as far as I’m concerned) in this Beloit Daily News Stateline Area News in Brief from the 21st: Police respond to large fight At least three people were injured at a Stateline Area hotel early Sunday after a large fight, South Beloit police said. An officer arrived at the Cattails Lounge of the Ramada Inn, 200 Dearborn Ave., about 1:10 a.m. and requested help from two other officers and units from Rockton, Roscoe, Winnebago County and Beloit, according to police reports. The officer reported seeing blood stains on the wall, broken bottles on the floor and a broken table. The parties involved already had left or were fleeing by car. Police did not know how many people were involved but said the lounge was over capacity. A person received treatment at Beloit Memorial Hospital for blunt force trauma to the head, and two people received care for cuts at Rockford Memorial Hospital. Sgt. Brad McCaslin said this was the third fight in three weeks. Police warned the Ramada Inn future incidents may affect its liquor license and ability to do business in South Beloit. On the 22nd the Daily News posted this article about sewer plans. The good bit there is this: In other business, the council noted there will be a liquor commission meeting Monday when the commission is expected to have a hearing concerning recent problems at Cattails, the bar inside the Ramada Inn. Police Chief Tom Fearn noted there have been two incidents since June 29 where the police have been called to the bar. In an incident Sunday, at least three people were injured in a large fight at the business. Having that shitty bar Cattails closed down would be one step closer to the worst hotel ever dying for good.

	Poor Indy 10:03 pm-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Bad Hotel Permalink Hah. I work for the owners of your old job and I have a couple of questions for you, any chance you can hit me up on aim? They own the executive inn in Evansville, IN.. I’m just curious about your experience and maybe a little insight to why they’re running my workplace into the ground See there was a reason I wrote about that hotel in Indiana: If you read between the lines you will see that they ruin everything they touch: In an interview, Vezzoso said the management style of the inn’s new owner, Noor Tejany, and his management style were somewhat different.

	Hotel Insider 12:39 am-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Bad Hotel Permalink In response to the post Hotel Watch Day 7 I was able to get someone from inside the worst hotel ever to comment on just what happened. The flooding took out the water boilers in the basement. the executive wing is open because it has a separate boiler. And yes the paper does not say all the problems, you know how the owners are at this place… I know the owners believe me. I asked a few questions. So what is morale like in the hotel for the regular employees? What is the situation with the latest gm leaving? This is the answer I got back: I would say 70% of the employees quit. thats managers too. theres no GM, no F&B, no director of operations, and of course no one knows anything thats happening for the future or has a specific time when they will get the hotel working again. but I’m sure they will find someway to try and get around not having to do things properly to get the hotel going. This of course paints a very grim picture of what things are like inside the worst hotel ever. Which is great news. If possible I will try to get more info from this Hotel Insider.

	One Year Ago 11:20 pm-Turk Comments (1) Show » Bad Hotel Permalink So it’s been exactly one year ago that I would have been fired for the second time from the worst hotel ever. I say this only because I ruined the sheriff’s chance to personally fire me by checking the schedule the day before and then calling him to ask what was going on. To celebrate the day I submit for everyone’s listening approval the unedited version of that call: Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser. Played 148 Times In ten days I will also be celebrating my one year anniversary at the new hotel. Which is a nice place to work. With any luck in another year the worst hotel ever will finally be dead. What a happy day that will be.
