I arrived in Paris around 7:30 pm and had to wait an hour for my friends to arrive on the next flight. When they didn’t show up when expected, I went to the information desk and they told me that that flight had been moved to another terminal. So I had to jump on a bus and rush to the other terminal. When I finally got there, they were all standing outside looking for me and I guess they had tried to call me and message me on facebook and whatsapp and nothing was working! None of those calls ever came through! Anyway, we were finally all together and ready to head into Paris. We got to the train station, got our tickets, and headed into town. When we arrived it was of course already dark and the lights were nice when I stepped out of the train station. I was trying to take a picture of the street when some guy roughly our age stepped in front of me. I guess he thought I was taking a picture of him because he gave me a dirty look and we were trying to get out of there fast and it seemed like him and his friends were following us. We finally lost them and eventually found our hotel.
We walked in up this narrow stair case to find the crappiest reception desk you have ever seen. The walls weren’t even painted and there were light fixtures and stuff that were not finished and were just hanging there! I was scared to see what the room was going to look like. The girls that had booked the room didn’t think it was important to read the reviews, so Nasha and I were concerned before we even got there from what we had read about this hotel. We paid for our first night and headed up the stairs to our room. The lights in the halls were set to automatically shut off, so you would be walking up the stairs and all of a sudden it would be pitch black! It was so annoying. We got up to our room and opened the door…and oh my! It was the nastiest room I have seen in my entire life! The amour and bedside table were practically falling apart. We looked through all the sheets for bugs and dirt, but luckily didn’t find anything. However, when we lifted up the mattresses, there was hair and dirt galore! You felt itchy just being in the room! Then we decided to check out the bathroom, I opened the door and looked in the shower…it was the most disgusting shower I have ever seen in my life! It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years…there was no way I was taking a shower in it! The toilet was relatively clean luckily, but the sink had some hair and dirt in it. We went to the bathroom quickly and then went downstairs to meet the other 2 people that came, the one that made the reservation.
We discussed how awful the place was and decided to go try to find some dinner. We found a doner place right around the corner and enjoyed a meal while using the wifi to search for another hotel. Best part…they had cherry coke…and it was in a Purple can! lol It was already to late to switch that night and everything seemed to be full because of the Easter Holiday. We decided to go back to the room and try to get some sleep and deal with it in the morning. All of us slept in our jeans and hoodies…there was no way I was sleeping in my shorts in that place! I left my socks on too! There wasn’t wifi there and for some reason my text messaging wasn’t working either! I could receive texts but couldn’t reply! Nasha and Diana couldn’t sleep and they were talking in Spanish until about 3am, when finally I was able to fall asleep.
