When you book through Expedia, YMCA punishes you. And they tell you with a smile. “Let’s put you in the weird old building where we put our Expedia guests, with no amenities. It’s where we usually put the kids’ groups, camps and such.”
I unpack and sleep one night in a cold, unseated, dank room with a heater that is placed along the wall next to the toilet where kids have obviously missed the toilet.
Ok fine. I’ll deal with it. Not a single person is in the entire building. Me. Alone in a giant building of empty rooms. Fine. Whatever.
I wake up and head into the Park for a long day. When I return exhausted around 8:30pm, I park my car and sit. Gathering my thoughts for a minute.
While sitting there, within 30 seconds, 100 kids and their adult chaperones appear in front of me, all descending down the hill in front of my car, and pack into a line in front of the building waiting to enter. I sit there dumbfounded.
I immediately drive to the front desk and request a room change. While asking, I mention a concern of mine which is concern over my health around so many kids (my son has special needs and is immunocompromised), and was ridiculed for my concern by a the desk clerk.
A manager appeared and changed my room. But not before I was utterly disgusted with being treated like I was crazy for suggesting my concern.
Room eventually rebooked which meant I had to move from building to building late at night after a long day.
Would not recommend
