Story of my stay ”

So I took my girlfriend to Sandton lodge for her birthday weekend and in the morning when I ran a bath the water was brown, they moved us to a new room but before that I was getting harassed by the cleaners to tell me that I need to hurry they need to get done. I was moved to a new room, everything was in order until we had to check out. Again I was rushed to checked out before the time stipulated which made no sense to me. The reception called my room to figure out what the story was because apparently the cleaners went to go complain to her. At this point I was vexed because of how I was being treated but I couldn’t let emotion get the better of me because it was a special weekend for my better half.
