The internet is a wonderful place when planning travel. You can learn all about hotels that you wouldn't learn about in cities you would never go to if you didn't have to and find out all the ways to get there. With the amount of travel I have to work, mapquest is my most used site for driving directions.

So this week, I am in Windsor. Is there anything to do in Windsor? (I apparently have nothing better to do that complain about my hotel...)

We are staying at the fantastic Howard Johnston Express. According to the website... It is a brand new hotel (opened in March 2000) with a business center, meeting/banquet facilities, room service, fitness center, tennis etc.

Sounds not too bad, and pretty cheap too.

Of course... As I am pulling into the hotel... I start to wonder about all of these facilities. The HOJO express is pretty small, right off the highway, and has no elevator. Definitely has no fitness center. I was thinking about finding a different hotel before I even came because it is important to me to have somewhere to workout. Then it just keeps getting better... My room has a broken window, nice crack in it just enough to let in a draft. When I tried to turn on the heater to counteract the draft, it set off the smoke detector in the room. Went to wash my face with a brown face cloth, went to dry my face with an almost white one with holes in it.

doesn't look like I am going to win on this one.

So, since I am bored, and in Windsor with nothing to do... I wrote an email to HOJO to complain about false claims on their website. Lets see what happens.

Left a message for winners customer service a week ago, they never called back.
