The Days Inn Lake Havasu Motel - Page 2

This hotel was the worst place I have ever stayed in. The first night we were awakened at 2:00 am by the alarm clock buzzing in the unoccupied room next to ours. It took 20 minutes to rouse the manager who seemed put out that we had bothered her. The 3rd night we were there we got a call from the front desk at 10:20 pm. The night clerk informed me that our room had been rented out to somebody else. We had made our hotel reservation via an internet site and had done it twice -one reservation for 2 days and another for 1 day. When we checked in this was explained to the clerk - we wanted the same room for 3 nights. When I explained to the clerk what happened she essentially said "tough luck" and said that I was responsible for stopping the new "guy" from trying to enter the room. I declined, stating that this was a situation for her to resolve. Next thing we knew, the door lock was activated and someone got part way in before the security bolt stopped his progress. This, needless to say, concerned and irritated my wife who called the desk and wanted an explanation. The clerk refused to talk to her and told her if she was irritated then she should call the police - which we immediately did. The police arrived and were met by us, the manager and the clerk. We were angry, the manager threatened to "throw us out" and the police threatened to toss me in jail. Meanwhile the manager (young woman) was laughing and touching the policemans sleeve all the while implying that it was just another case of screwed up visitors making life difficult for the hospitality industry. Bottom line, don't open the door to anybody. If you have only one good thing in your accomodation, let it be security. We demanded that the door lock be re-keyed before we went back inside. Don't stay at this motel.
