Well, I'm definitely female, but "lady" might be stretching it!
One of the hotels was a rather sleazy place, but the other two were large chains. One of those was quite upscale, and the other was a brand that supposedly caters to business travelers.

But those didn't hold a candle to the Orlando Airport-area hotel that we got via Priceline for a leisure trip once. There was supposed to be a continental breakfast, but it was absent. We stood with another man in the lobby for literally 20 minutes, as there was no counter person. When she finally showed up, with two kids in tow, she said, "I'm so sorry! I had to feed the kids." Once we left, my husband pointed out that the reason there was no continental breakfast was because the workers were carrying all the food out the side door to their cars!! If you ever bid on an MCO hotel, stick to the highest star level (that place was one notch down, although it should have been a negative-one star).
