OMG I HATE LOOKING FOR HOTEL ROOMS!
I'm about to start screaming at my screen. All I want is a not too expensive, but not too cheap (under $175 a night inclusive of parking charges) place for ONE NIGHT in San Francisco proper with room for two adults and one child, who is going to be sleeping in the bed with us ANYWAY, so DOUBLE DOUBLES ARE NOT GOING TO WORK FOR US.
You wouldn't think it would be so hard, but APPARENTLY.
Sadly, no. Once you add the kid to the mix, there's either nothing available or the rates soar.
Don't tell them you are bringing kid?
Will you get to see her on her visit?
Ah, no. She's travelling to see other people. Hussy.
TEXAS!!! That's where! WE HAVE A SPARE ROOM!!
Huh. Would you go figure?
ABC's coverage of The Belmont is depressing. So far, they've covered a dead trainer and a paralyzed jockey, and I've only been watching for 10 minutes.
Don't tell them you are bringing kid?
She'd be hard to miss on check-in. I went ahead and booked blind on Hotwire. We'll see how that works out!
Also depressing, the existence of a horse named First Dude.
She'd be hard to miss on check-in.
Eh, get one of those fancy dog-carriers and stuff her in. Tell 'em she's a new gene-spliced "humadoodle."
Most hotels won't charge you extra for a kid unless you need a cot or a crib. (The online reservation systems will count her as an extra person, but if you tell them on the phone that she's five they'll waive the fee.)
