Road Trip to Dallas in May 2025
/The drive was easier than expected – no heavy rain or high winds. I made such good time that I was able to stop at the Texas welcome center on US 75 to photograph their wildflowers before meeting my sister for lunch in Sherman. The bluebonnets are waning but other flowers are blooming profusely.
I had an odd experience with my hotel. My reservation was canceled a couple of hours before I arrived because they had overbooked! They wanted me to make a reservation at a hotel next door, but I was already visiting my dad…so I told them to arrange to have a room held for me….and they did. They didn’t apologize at all for their overbooking. When I checked into the other hotel, I told them that it didn’t seem fair that I would have had to pay for the night if I had cancelled a few hours before my arrival…but the hotel could do it for apparently no penalty at all. That is still the way I feel. I am looking at other hotels in the area rather than continue to patronize a place that chose to not honor my reservation shortly before I was arriving. The experience was made worse by the second hotel having a lot of noise during the night…and a mattress so lacking in support that my back hurt.
Now that I am home again…I have decided to try another hotel for my June trip to Dallas.
