We booked a couple of nights at a hotel for my birthday weekend last month and we were really looking forward to getting away and relaxing away from home for a day or two.
Sometimes you just need a change of scenery and that’s what we were looking for.
When my husband and I left for the weekend, we set the thermostat at around 73 degrees because we didn’t want the house to get too overheated while we were gone. The weather that weekend was supposed to be super hot, and so we wanted to make sure that everything didn’t get too hot and stuffy. We headed out to the hotel which was about two hours away in another city and we stopped off to get dinner. The temperature outside was so hot that we had to run the air conditioning going on full blast in the car the whole way there. When we finally got to the hotel, the first thing that we saw was a couple of big HVAC trucks in the parking lot. Then we saw four or five HVAC technicians coming in and out of the building. We looked at each other and started second guessing our decision to stay at this place. But by that time it was late and we were afraid that we wouldn’t be able to find another hotel. We checked in and went up to our room, but sure enough, it was hot and stuffy up there and the A/C wasn’t working correctly. Staying at a hotel isn’t that much fun if the air conditioning isn’t working!
