Also at hotels while traveling .... ask for a better room or any upgrades. Worst thing anyone will say is no.

But if you're lucky to run into a manager in a good mood or even the owner, they'll give you something just for asking.

I don’t think my motel 6 has a better room than 2 full size beds and free HBO

Pay-per-view comp?

They might at least not put you next to the hourly rentals

I had a guy try to stab me because I asked. I'd categorize that as worse than no.

Thats just the usual hotel experience

The sheets were clean. And i got a free fridge magnet.

If that happened to me at a hotel .... I'd give up my prebooked room and leave, no matter the cost ... definitely not a hotel I'd want to stay in.
