Side Hotel Hamburg. Late check-in after a long production day.
Concierge:
“Good evening, Mister Meimberg.”
Me:
“Hi.”
Concierge:
“You are staying with us for one night?”
Me:
“Yes.”
Concierge:
“Ok. Let´see …”
(typing)
“Single room … uuhm … Mr. Meimberg?”
Me:
“Yes?”
Concierge:
“Today is your lucky day! We are fully booked. And will have to upgrade you.
To the Presidential Suite.”
Me:
“Really? Wow! That´s great!”
Concierge (handing me the key card):
“King size bed, separate dining room, steam bath, jacuzzi. There you go. Top floor.
Anything else for you, sir?”
Me:
“Yes. I have to take an early flight tomorrow. Could you give me a wakeup call?
At 5:30?”
Concierge:
“Sure. That´ll be … in three and a half hours.”
…
Sometimes life sucks.
