​@@Alinor24 I believe in all English-speaking countries that's universal for all currencies. _Why_ that is, I've never understood.

[@FoxLosst]

​@@Alinor24It is just in English speaking nations. In Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland, America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. the currency symbol comes before the number, so it would be €600, but, for example, I know in France it's the other way round, being written 600€

You also forgot: "Why is the bill €875???" "Well, there's tax, city tax, occupancy tax, tourism improvement fee, convenience fee, and the fact that you ate a bag of crisps from the mini-bar."

Oh oh! This reminds me of Sydney! They raised their prices and we're fully booked out because of you lads! When I decided to stay for the last gig, I tried to see if the hotel I was in had a room available last minute. They said "sorry we don't, Foil Arms and Hog are in town so.." I struggled to pick my jaw up off the floor and put the smile away haha

As someone who has stayed in hotels more than the average person, the accuracy of this made me laugh so much. Thank you!

[@nlpnt]

You missed "This is our newest non-smoking room" which translates to "We were throwing away the ashtrays, airing the place out out and spraying Febreze on the bed moments before you arrived." Also, they must've gotten some great reviews before the construction started for it to average out to three stars now.

[@jennyormrod2288]

I still get excited about staying in hotels. But that's probably because I don't go on holiday that much! Foil's increasing frustration is always funny to watch! Brilliant sketch as always!

This encapsulates all the wonderful experiences spanning a lifetime. One of my favorite: Downtown Manhattan in January. Usual hotel was booked. This one was ‘open’, under process of rehab maybe, room about 10 feet wide. Freezing partly because snow blew through the cracks in the windows. Enjoyed the part of ducking in and out of the scaffolding around the place. Thanks for a laugh re: joys of travel and the mindless robotic/indifferent employees you encounter.

Going for breakfast at 9:30 when you had a meeting very early? Should have taken that wakeup call.

[@dorismidge8762]

Oh my goodness, someone else feels this too! My family and I stayed in three different cities in Nevada at the end of June (3 different hotel chains) and encountered almost every single one of these problems! First hotel didn’t have the correct rooms we booked. We too were shorted a bed! The shower was burning hot, the pool was closed (not listed on site). The breakfast was served from 6:30-9:00 but had nothing left at 8:30 and they didn’t restock. Second hotel was great. We were spoiled. Only real issue was the fact that none of the doors shut unless you slammed them. Forcefully. The entire floor had to do this. It was jarring the first night for sure. Third hotel smelled awful and the “air conditioning” in one room was a huge industrial fan that just blew out gusts of air sporadically. It was loud and didn’t cool the room. One elevator was rickety and near took off a fellow travelers arm. The elevator to the parking garage had an out of order sign on it, but only in the parking garage… not from the hotel side. We didn’t know that until we were going back to our rooms after parking and saw it taped outside the elevator!! In one of the rooms we booked the bathroom flooded during the night and maintenance scolded the occupants for not jiggling the toilet handle correctly. The tiles were loose in our bathroom (if you weren’t careful, you could kick it away). The wifi went down and when trying to plug in my phone charger, the entire outlet came loose! These were not cheap hotels, either 😂 I feel quite triggered by this! 😅

[@cheerfulcharlie9916]

[@drbright6608]

I had this exact experience at a hotel in once. Arrived and they had given away the suite I booked 2 months in advance AND prepaid for in full. After I realized they were going to be pricks about it, I called a lawyer right in front of the manager, on speaker phone. Magically, I was offered a free upgrade to a larger suite sweet at no additional charge. Apparently them not having any rooms available was just a simple misunderstanding by the front desk clerk.

@@CoreySoulFan LOL our version of the "Red Light district" is not what it used to be or what we usually think when this term is used. It got that name in the 20's during the prohibition era and stayed that way till the 60's Ever since they worked a lot on sanatizing the district to a point where it's unrecognisable. It's now called the "quartier des spectacles" Where they hold most of our festivals (which is almost all year long at this point!!) The only thing left of that Red Light district are some red spot lights in front of some famous venues and sadly some homeless people who have nowhere else to go. Montreal is a really secure town and I hope you'll enjoy your time here! Have fun :)
