The best management response of all time

A traveler complained of cockroaches in a hotel. This is what the hotelier had to say in response to their review:

I think your comments unkind. Cockroaches are prehistoric creatures and can survive atomic bombs and weapons of mass destruction!

Breaking news!

We hereby confirm that you have long since been dismembered

From an e-mail to our newsletter support team:

Don't send me e-mails designating me a member.  AND I better damnsite not be charged for anything on my credit card in that underhanded way your kind of business operates.  Send me a confirmation that I have long since been "dis-membered."

The 2nd TA office space actually WAS painted "terrible mustard," though

From a management response:

I make no apologies for the lilac colour in the room....after all the room is called "The lilac room" so what colour do you expect .... I have checked the paint tin and it definitely says lilac not 'terrible lilac'.

To avoid further disappointments, please note that "The red room" is red and "The coral room" is coral. If you want luminous we suggest you book the 'Mark Rothko room' which is painted in bright orange.

Great hotels for people you hate.

We give out awards in January for the best luxury hotel, most romantic hotel, etc. But you may not know that we also publish a list of the dirtiest hotels. So, if you’re stuck sharing a cubicle with some lovely person who clips their nails at their desk, you might want to recommend they visit one of these gems. We’re also thinking that the staff of this place would fit in really well at any of them, if they’re looking to make a job change.

Here are the top 10 in the U.S.:

1.    Tropicana Resort Hotel
2.    Hotel Carter
3.    Days Inn Downtown / Port
4.    Budget Inn
5.    Red Carpet Inn
6.    New York Inn
7.    Poindexter Ocean Front Resort
8.    Days Inn Lancaster
9.    Ramada Inn Miami Airport North
10.  Sea Club Resort

From an e-mail to support:

It is hard to change Romanian New Leu back to dollars. Banks and Amex shy away from it because it is to volatile they say.  What do I do with 258 New Leu

Don't drink and dial TA support, please.
