i am annoyed at every thing today (i blame the subway system).. going to a wedding this Saturday, it's at a beach resort...

Posted by Andie Aug 6 '14, 09:06

the wedding is scheduled for 4pm, on the beach.
the check in for the resort is 4pm.

they will not guarantee me any earlier check in.

i can't believe the resort wedding planner let it be scheduled that way (also, the resort has NO ONE BUT WEDDING GUESTS that night and still won't give us 3pm check in.)

i am have a Day of Indignation. You might want to skip my posts today.

Bah...show up when you show up. I'd almost guarantee they'll get you in a room at 3, if that's when you show up and the room is clean. -- nm - Jim Aug 6, 09:09 1
- i think we will chance it, i just don't want to get ready for a wedding in a pool cabana if it isn't. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:12
we tend to show up at hotels whenever we want and they'll check us in as long as we have a reservation for that day. - Diva Aug 6, 09:08 27
- she said i was welcome to come earlier and it was noted that i requested early check in, but it couldn't be guaranteed... - Andie Aug 6, 09:11 20
  - I'm telling you...if you get there about 2 - 2:30...you'll easily be checked in with time to get ready. - Jim Aug 6, 09:14 17
    - yep. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 09:15
    - that's true. i can just sit there in front of them. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:14 15
      - the kindly brontosaurus will get you what you want. -- (link) - znufrii Aug 6, 10:00 1
        
        Weird. Seems more like a T. Rex type pose than brontosaurus. -- nm - mara Aug 6, 10:04
      - what would be cool is if you just started putting on deodorant right there in the lobby. That'll get your room ready. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 09:16 10
        
        lol -- nm - pippy on a ferry Aug 6, 09:21
        
        honestly...a slowly escalating scene, done over the course of half an hour, in the lobby...will get the room ready. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 6, 09:20 8
        
        i don't own a curling iron, but i might borrow one, and just sit on the floor with a mirror and start doing my hair. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:21 7
        
        you should sing slightly off-key as you wander around looking for an outlet. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 09:26 4
        
        ... in my bathrobe. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:27 3
        
        if they really call your bluff, go to the lil convenience shop, buy toiletries and casually walk back to the lobby... - Mel Profit Aug 6, 09:30 1
        
        Right. *while brushing teeth loudly* "Where's your sink?" -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 09:34
        
        and bunny slippers of course. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 09:29
        
        this reads like an Audrey Hepburn bit which you could totally pull off... - Mel Profit Aug 6, 09:25 1
        
        laughing at the IM -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:26
      - That's the spirit. But I'd get there closer to 2. If you show up at 3 and THEN have to wait, you could be screwed into changing in the cabana. - Jim Aug 6, 09:16 1
        
        alright, that's the plan. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:17
  - while reading your IM I'm imagining you making repeated "aggressive" finger quotes. - Diva Aug 6, 09:13 1
    - pretty much. :) -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:14
- this is what I usually do, but there have been at least 2 times where they made me wait until their official check-in time -- nm - decline Aug 6, 09:11 5
  - get out! - Diva Aug 6, 09:12 4
    - I've had that happen too at a lot of places. -- nm - Broot Aug 6, 09:13 3
      - wow - I must be lucky. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 09:17 2
        
        the couple of times it's happened we usually end up going to eat... - Mel Profit Aug 6, 09:31
        
        I must be too, then...I've never had that happen. We have had a couple times where our room wasn't cleaned yet... - Jim Aug 6, 09:19
That's infuriating. Doesn't make any sense. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 09:08
Good grief, are they trying to get guests to pay for an extra day by checking in the night before? -- nm - mara Aug 6, 09:07 2
- she suggested that when i just called, yes. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 09:08
- ("They" meaning the resort, not the couple.) -- nm - mara Aug 6, 09:08
