While Hubby was in the bathroom, I put on pants (I had just put on pajamas) and walked in the hotel towards the bar. Before that, I reported it to the front desk guy, who said shockingly little. When I got to the bar, the bartender gruffly said it was closing, but I made him hear my issue, anyway. He nastily told me to basically buzz off. I then tipped the bb out of the plastic cup and strongly and angrily bounced it off the bar. As I walked a bit away, a 60 something looking unsavory woman comes after me, threatening ly, calling me stupid, inches from my face. Unscared, I gave her a most evil eye and said nothing. Then her ZZ Top looking male companion comes inches from my face, and issued a greater threat. I gave him an even more viscious look, then turned around and left, reporting to the front desk that I was threatened by two customers and, to only a little lesser degree, the bartender.

We'll, this "stupid" woman (meaning me - sarcasm) is not so very stupid.

I can tell you that all three I mentioned above could have easily been like the mob members at the capital building in DC.

You might call me nuts for what I did, but I do anything when my husband is targeted. I did not expect the creeps would beat me up, so I held firm. They didn't achieve what they wanted. Believe me.

I sent my sister the story, including the hotel details. I called and told my brother, too, but that is a WHOLE other story.
That is really scary. I don’t like traveling unless I stay at a Hampton Inn.

I stayed at a hotel, a Ramada, near Niagara Falls Canada in 2018 I felt was shady. The restaurant inside was ok but the hotel and the people who worked there gave me the creeps. There were like no lights in the hotel. The whole hotel was basically dark. Luckily I had gotten some melatonin at a Walmart in Pennsylvania that morning and I took that and an Ativan so I could just sleep through the night until we left the next day. That was for sure the most uncomfortable hotel experience I’ve had.
