The last post hinted at misadventures with my hotel reservation. At the time I didn’t know the whole story. The apartment hotel did not have a suitable room so they sent me across the street to the hotel I first called. I was given a nice room there that even included a jacuzzi, and I presumed the room was for my scheduled two-night stay. When I came back the next day for a short rest after a morning walk around I learned that check out time was passed (BAD BOY!!!), and I was supposed to get out. About this time a more diplomatic desk clerk from hotel #1 appeared to try to placate me and move me back across the street to a room in that hotel.

One of the reasons for my skepticism about what I was being told is shown in this photo of the entrance to hotel #1 (the doorway on the right) taken in the morning from the front door of hotel #2 where I had stayed. By the way, the name of hotel #1 is Adrien Basilica Apartment Hotel.
