Ah, but now the story has been made more exciting with the "If we did not check out they would physically remove our belongings from our room." I really liked that part. Is it just me, or has anyone ever checked into a hotel where they don't say "please verify your rate and check out date and then sign at the bottom". Geez - most hotels actually have you inital the rate and check out date. So where's that part of the story in this saga?!
