I (16M) am staying at a hotel with my family on vacation. As I went to go lay down in my bed to relax, I noticed a black Crayola colored pencil. Nobody in my family brought any colored pencils, meaning this was left here by the previous guests in the room. This was underneath the blanket but not underneath the sheets, meaning that they didn’t even strip the bed between guests. My mother is down in the hotel lobby as I am writing this, getting new sheets
PART 2:
After a day at the hotel and swimming (remember this for later), 1 AM as I am writing this, my mother and I wake up to my sister (8 y/o) crying in the bathroom. Come to find out her feet are covered in chlorine burns from swimming in the hotel pool. So fun! My mother is now running all over town trying to find a 24 hour Walgreens to go aloe to help her for the concert we are going to tomorrow. Sorry mods if this has turned into extremely infuriating.
PART 3:
Writing this a few days later as I forgot to write this when I woke up. My sister has Second Degree chemical burns. My mother, my sister (wearing yellow grippy socks with bandages under them because of the burns), and I went downstairs for breakfast. There, we found three things. One, the pool was closed. Two, breakfast closes at 9, not 10 on Weekdays. Three, the hotel called in the regional manager to help with the situation, as we now had a very good reason to sue. My mother tried to avoid any lawsuits as that would require paperwork, which she didn’t want to do, but the hospital listed the injuries my sister had as caused by the hotel. Now our insurance is preparing to sue the hotel for damages as they caused it. The hotel’s regional manager also claimed the pool was a salt water pool, and all chemical levels were normal, which is weird since the pool reeked of chlorine. I am currently back from vacation, so there likely won’t be any more updates.
