Then said I had already checked out of the room so she couldn’t get me a key. How was I checked out when my pregnant wife was still in there sleeping from a long drive up. Of course I could have knocked to wake her up but I did not want to do that. I wanted a new key but the lady was very rude about it still and so it’s just whatever it was horrible at the front desk.
