I told the front desk clerk that our stay was not in the least bit satisfactory because of the malfunctioning A/C. I returned back to the front desk to check out and decided that I would test the hotel's "100% satisfaction guarantee". The following morning, we had breakfast and moved our things to the car. It sounded like a plane taking off all night but it did cool the room down a bit. I finally had to REQUEST a fan be put in our room. I was also told that the Fairfield Inn across the parking lot was also booked up. The hotel was almost completely booked up and we were offered either single smoking rooms or one handicapped room on the ground floor with a double bed for all 3 of us. After a couple more phone calls, I finally went downstairs to complain about the heat in our room and pointed out that we were not staying in a cheap $40 hotel. I called down to the front desk and was assured that the temperature would improve within 20-30 minutes. The A/C would kick on for about 10 minutes then turn back off again just as the room started to cool down. The thermostat was set at 65 degrees but the room still felt like it was 80 degrees. It took about 45 minutes to realize that the A/C in our hotel room was not working properly. We checked in to the Hampton Inn at around 9:30 pm. Rhys ate almost an entire hamburger and the kids enjoyed the guy on the stilts who made balloon animals for Rhys (a puppy who had eaten a "burger" and a rabbit - Rhys' favorite animal). We left for Norman after I got off work and had dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise in OKC. I really dislike long-distance driving as the monotony practically puts me to sleep. I booked a room in Norman, OK for Friday evening at the Hampton Inn so that we could take our time on Saturday morning driving the rest of the way to Dallas/Grapevine. The kids talked me into leaving on our trip one night early. As his birthday approached, he got more excited than he has ever been in the past in anticipation of our trip. It was not hard to convince Rhys to spend his birthday at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. ![]()
