Our Motel Experience


Well, this was a hoot. We were supposed to stay at a motel called Shore Haven in Lauderdale by the Sea, but the dude tossed us out. When my wife headed up to the room after checking in, she couldn't get the AC to blow cold air. I had also noticed that all the rooms had their windows and doors open. We went downstairs to tell them that the unit was not blowing refrigerated air and inquire whether or not it could be fixed or we could get a different room. Well the short story is the dude flipped out and snatched the keys from my wife and said go stay somewhere else.

We drove down to the place pictured above called La Cele. It was awesome Dennis, the owner, took us in with no reservation, and for $95 a night we got an 800 or 900 square foot apartment with a full kitchen and two double beds. It would have easily slept nine or ten folks. We were also only one block from the ocean which was gorgeous. The only bad news was that we realized we had left several things back at jerkweed's motel including my wife's wedding ring and all of our food. The items were successfully retrieved.

So, it was great to come home from the training and walk to the beach to hang out for a few hours. The Ocean was close to 90 degrees and beautiful. The vacation portion of the trip was great, the training was completely bogus.

Perhaps the unbearable heat had fried his brain causing him to lose all sense of civility and service? Sound like he was a real piece of work...
