I
needed
safe
parking
for
my
expensive
touring
bike.
Owner
wife
showed
me
an
outside
place
next
to
hotel
behind
a
1.25
meter
high
see-through
iron
gate,
no
place
to
lock
the
bike.
Would
not
let
me
put
bike
further
back
where
it
could
be
locked.
I
said
I
could
not
leave
my
bike
there.
Hotel
is
right
at
train
station,
10-12
loud
rough
men
drinking
tall
cans
of
strong
beer
in
the
street
eight
out
front
late
into
the
night.
On
a
Monday.
She
said
there
is
a
locked
gate.
I
said
I
need
a
new
hotel.
She
said
okay,
then
by
the
trash
cans
in
a
locked
shed.
I
said
fine.
She
then
said
in
a
angry
demeaning
way
"but
I
told
you
this
gate
locks."
The
gate
is
chest
high
and
see-through,
so
essentially
an
unlocked
$2k
bicycle
is
30
meters
from
a
dozen
dirtbag
street
people,
"protected"
by
a
1.25
meter
high
see-through
iron
gate
my
mother
could
climb
in
5
seconds.
I
was
tired
of
this
woman
condescending
to
me,
and
told
her.
I
am
a
serious,
sober,
professional
person.
I
am
normally
pleasant
and
deferrential.
I've
stayed
at
26
hotels
on
this
Europe
trip,
and
not
one
single
issue
with
anyone.
But
this
woman
-
we
had
words
about
her
strange
combative
attitude,
and
that
I
was
not
going
to
be
treated
like
an
idiot
for
no
cause.
In
the
end,
unlocking
the
garbage
shed
was
a
simple
turn
of
a
key
she
had
already
in
her
hand.
It
was
nothing
to
her,
but
she
made
it
like
I
was
giving
her
trouble
to
leave
my
bike
in
a
safe
place.
I
have
dignity
and
will
not
be
dressed
down
like
a
child
by
an
arrogant
person.
Next
morning
my
bike
qas
mysteriously
damaged.
The
owner
wife
was
haughty
and
demeaning
to
me
and
treated
me
like
I'm
stupid,
maybe
because
I
don't
speak
much
German?
We
argued
about
how
she
was
treating
me.I
needed
safe
parking
for
my
expensive
touring
bike.
Owner
wife

me

I
recommend
avoiding
this
hotel.
The
location
is
spitting
distance
from
a
small
mob
of
street
drunks,
and
the
owner
wife
is
rude
and
petty.
