At
the
Ramada
Inn
on
Staten
Island,
we
were
treated
like
unexpected
guests
that
demanded
to
be
accommodated.
I
had
reservations
made
two
months
in
advance
so
I
wasn't
pleased
when
they
told
us
that
they
had
a
problem
regarding
a
room
for
us.
According
to
the
man
I'm
assuming
was
the
manager,
we
were
advised
that
the
National
Guard
and
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
had
commandeered
half
the
rooms
in
the
hotel.
They
said
our
room
wasn't
ready
then
asked
if
we
were
OK
with
stairs.
I
said
it
depended
on
how
many
and
how
steep
as
my
husband
can
have
problems
due
to
poor
vision.
He
impatiently
told
us
to
follow
him
and
led
us
to
the
basement
of
the
hotel.
There
were
15
steep
steps
into
a
short
unswept
hallway
with
all
the
maintenance
rooms
and
inner
workings
for
the
hotel.
We
began
to
refer
to
it
as
the
dungeon.
When
he
asked
us
to
inspect
the
room
to
see
if
we
were
satisfied,
we
were
not
expecting
to
see
people
vigorously
scrubbing
and
cleaning.
It
seemed
OK.
We
were
tired
after
our
long
road
trip
and
it
was
a
very
clean
room.
So,
we
blindly
accepted.
Then
the
fun
began.
First
thing,
my
husband
got
locked
in
the
bathroom
because
the
door
knob
assembly
was
broken
and
wouldn't
open.
I
had
to
use
a
credit
card
in
the
door
jamb
to
get
him
out.
We
reported
it
twice
then
were
told
it
would
be
two
hours
until
someone
showed
up
to
fix
it.
Then
we
realized
we
had
no
chairs
and
requested
one
-
three
times
over
4-5
hours.
Add
on
that
the
fact
that
the
bathroom
sink
was
clogged.
Two
times
we
went
reported
to
the
desk
about
that.
Housekeeping
came
once
during
our
three
day
stay
and
took
most
of
the
towels
and
all
the
washcloths
from
the
bath.
Never
returned
with
fresh.
Had
to
ask
-
again
twice.
They
gave
us
more
towels
-
no
washcloths.
We
had
functioning
internet
one
day
out
of
our
three
day
stay.
I
was
told
the
problem
was
me.
I
worked
IT
for
a
bank
so
I
can't
be
easily
snowed.
We
had
no
issues
at
any
subsequent
motel.
Lying
to
make
me
shut
up
is
not
great
customer
service.
The
manager
was
fed
up
with
me
by
this
time.
I
have
NEVER
had
to
approach
the
desk
more
than
once
on
any
issue.
In
fact,
I
have
rarely
had
to
go
to
the
front
desk
with
a
problem,
we
are
easy
going.
They
charged
us
full
price
as
though
we
enjoyed
a
properly
furnished
room
(we
didn't
bother
asking
for
lamps
or
bedtables).
I'm
not
a
fighter
and
neither
is
my
husband.
I
will
make
my
voice
heard
in
my
review.
We
fared
better
than
most
in
that
many
people
were
called
and
their
reservations
cancelled.
We
were
all
there
for
the
Bike
NYC
Ride
and
no
one
was
at
liberty
to
change
their
plans.
There's
some
dirty
business
going
on
in
this
country.
I
hope
we
survive.
