    why can't you see that?

    They fell short in an eggstremely minor way on a discounted room rate.

    Was the room dirty? Had the linen not been changed? Were there someone else's pubic hairs left in the plughole? Was the room down the hall inhabited by noisy marijuana smoking guests?

    No.

    The only complaint you have is the absence of one item from a doubtlessly lengthy list of items available on the breakfast menu.

    Your complaint, in my view, is the only joke.

    Sorry, can't agree. Too much fuss over a breakfast lacking in eggcellence.
    Now if it had been lacking in bacon that would have been a different matter entirely, and I'd have been insisting on a proper eggsplanation. Because that really would have been eggstracting the Michael.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Unchanged linen trumps no eggs any day of the week... especially if you find a !!!/blood stain :(

    Not being able to shower for three days because of problems with the drains is cause for complaint and refund, if a hotel runs out of eggs before I get to breakfast it isn't the end of the world as I know it, I just have something else.
    Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j

    If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!

    You must be extremely lucky L1keg to have never been in the situation of somewhere (either restaurant or supermarket) running out of a certain type of food or drink.


    I would be contacting Holiday Inn to pay for the counselling you need to get over this horrific situation.


    Or you pull your head out of your a*se and get on with your life.
