You know ten years ago you would have never heard this complaint. “The hotel is horrible, the staff was so rude when I asked the hotel why their internet was down for four hours, which is the reason I stayed here.” I guess I just can’t believe this is the sole reason someone would book a hotel.

I guess I jsut feel like there are many other things that you can do at a hotel besides surf the web. I like to go to hotel bars, meet new people, chat it up. I usually could care less about the internet in a hotel, and I am a guru. I like to find hotels that are close to things to do, or have a spa, or are on the beach. I really could care less about spending my time on the internet.

So this review just comes in from this guy who stayed in Cocoa Beach Florida. The hotel he stayed at is a beautiful 4 star property connected to a surf store. I have been there several times. He rated it a twenty percent because the internet was down. Let me first tell you what he found good about the hotel. “The restaurant was excellent, the price was great and the room was large. I really liked that I could park on the same floor as my room, and the security system helped.” The only bad point this chump mentioned was that the internet was down.

I just can’t believe that it would be an eighty percent deduction for the internet being down. I understand that people on business trips need the internet, so I am not referring to them. What I don’t understand is this guy was staying there on his way to port off on a cruise. Look out Carnival, you will get a complaint because there is no internet in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Hide the comment cards. I can’t believe this guy can’t give up the internet for one night and enjoy the beautiful Cocoa beach.

I guess my point is the internet and travel are almost scary. People travel miles away from home and they have to have the internet or the hotel is no good. I am just the opposite. I like the hotel not to have internet so I can enjoy my time there without wasting it doing internet things. Maybe I am becoming the minority.
