Shhh! Wouldn't want everyone to know! *laughs* :D

No, it wasn't the Radisson Astrodome Hotel...it was a different hotel...still nameless though...

The water restored itself to a "normal" color after we ran it for a minute or so:p

In the Best Western we played frisbee in the hall... It hit the fire alarm... It sounded, we went outside, then got the all clear... Then for the next hour it kept going off...

Pin Man: Your team played capture the flag with mines one of the nights...:D

yeah we had a huge game going

Yup. I couldn't catch one of your team members with my flip flops on, so I took them off and ran on the parking lot barefoot...ended up sending him to my team's prison...but it wasn't the best idea b/c I ended up pulling a muscle in my foot...weird but true...:)

wow, i was in the radisson too, i was being a major pain, u know that one elevator that worked? we when some people on my team used it i ran to all the floors inbetween the destination, and hit all the buttons, they needlessly had a loong trip, lol. But i kind of joined into the game, but i was mostly at six flags most of the time. Anyone go swimming? i was nicknamed the dolphin, for i was the only person crazy enough to go swimming at 10 pm, ahh that was refreshing. Also, i think i saw u tetra

lol that brown water was in my room too! i took my shower in the pool. and no, i did have my bathing suit on. lol

were u on the 4th floor?

You took a shower in the pool?! :D

i was at the same hotel as team 341 and i had all the same problems that they have expressed here, the hot tub was colder that the pool, the hotel its self was like a maze, the elevators were really bad,someone from another team i had never met asked me to ride down with them cause thy were scared of getting trapped in there, only 4 people could get in one at a time and when some members of my team challenged this they got stuck, than Saturday night some of my mentors got stuck in on out side my room at 12:30 at night for about 15 min. it was one of the funniest things ever but still wrong on the hotels part, but i still had alot of fun and i wanted to say sorry to miss daisy for waking you up so late on Saturday night when we were yelling to our mentors stuck in the elevator.

Our Hotel wasn't THAT bad, I mean we only had a shower that you could piss faster than, to quote my teacher, water that fluckchuated(sp?), no cold, only scalding hot water, a pool with plastic bags floating in it for 4 days straight, cop cars that came by at liek 3 am, water that was brown in some of the rooms to begin with, toliets that had trouble flushing, people calling our rooms at 3 am, bedsheets that where never changed, no maids that came by 2 of the days, detergant that half of our team had a allergic reaction too, small butt rooms and beds (I slept on the table one night, it was only like 3 feet by 3 feet, that was some funny $@#$@#$@#$@#, ask Tella on OakRidge), and a "free Breakfast" that consisted of just doughnuts, and make your own coffee and tea. Bahhh. Not to mention that ours wasn't in indoor hotel, it was the ones where you are outside if you out your room, air conditionings that turned on by thenselves, no elevators, (I had to carry half of the girls crud up the stairs cause they couldn't managae) and some other stuff, liek key cards that didn't work half of the time...::Sigh:: Oh yea! The Bathroom doors didn't have locks.....UBER DISCUSTING! Don't believe that they were small, ask Jared form HeatWave, he stopped by one night...oh yea, no free room to room calling, and about a 18% tax on the room that came to around liek 500$ BAHHHH

This isn't really a horror story, but, at the Best Western Hotel, my 3 room mates (I won't say who) decided to play a prank to our team members next door. What they did was they took the Iron and at night, they swung the cord and hit the door in the back several times making it sound like something was outside. While this was happening, I was trying to sleep. This was about 11:00 at night. In addition to this, they were planning to play another prank the next night but they didn't do as planned luckily.

Melissa, you should know what I'm talking about. ;)

Whoops! Oh well. :D

Who did you chase tetra??? because it was a girl that threw it...

For all of you who have and will post here, what was your hotel rated at on the 1-5 star system???


The Omni Houston at 4 Riverway was rated at 5 stars but the service we got was far from 5 star..

We arrived at the hotel at check in time on Wednesday, 1:00 and we were told that our rooms weren't ready. So we decided to walk to attempt to find a place to eat. (Two story McDonalds where I won $12.00 and change and two McD's toys!! lol I can't say what I did to win this though so don't ask.) (well.... can't say it on the public forums anyways, ask me in the off season, or the next time you happen to see me.) hehehehehe

Anyways, we get back to our hotel after 1.5 hrs, time being now ~2:30. Our rooms are still not ready... We hang out some more, try to not get into any trouble...(HA) and finally at 5:00(I think) we are told that our rooms are ready.

Get in our room, and what do we have, our beds are still not totally made, and a case full of drinks was left out (under lock and key) that shouldn't have been in a room that would be occupied with minors (this situation was sort of rectified the next day)

The pool was heated (thankfully) and was ok, except they cut the grass one day and the pool, was full of grass so I decided to jump in the other pool, and found out that it wasn't heated (brrr)

We had an issue with our BOM during thursday's inspection and had to get it faxed to us. We had somoene go back to the hotel and get a fax number and fax it to them. We were told that the fax had not come in so we faxed it again, again nothing... Getting irritated we talked to an official that remembered us from NYC and straightened everything out, thankfully.

I paid 13 bucks for a reuben sandwich and another person paid 30 for a 16 ounce steak (to put this in perspective, think of your 20oz soda and think smaller content value) Coffee I guess just plain sucked and I did the math and If I had wanted just a glass of OJ in the morning, it would have cost me like 10-15 dollars to have it brought to my room.

The last problems were when we checked out and one room was charged $60 for a meal that was eaten while all the inhabitants of that room and most or all other team members were at the competition.
Then as we were on the bus to leave that god awful place 3 of our advisors went back in the hotel and were told that 60 (count em' 6-0) robes were supposedly taken from the rooms after they did an inventory of their stuff, even though we had just left our rooms maybe 10-15 minutes earlier and there was no sign of maids anywhere. That fact along with the fact that mathmatically every person from our team would have to had taken 2 robes each made that accusation very shady.

Ok, I'm done ranting... I need to find another thread now to complain about the bus transportation system.. or lack there of.

And remember kids, 5 star hotels are not always what they are cracked up to be..

I have no idea...all I know is that he was trying to dodge me, and stepped back into a puddle and looked down, and got tagged...:) ....I think he was wearing a stripped shirt....white and blue I think....don't really remember his face...
