We share a nightmare hotel experience that occurred at the start of our family vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains, featuring an abandoned front desk, malfunctioning room equipment, and a tennis ball under the bed.

• The hotel nightmare begins with a 45-minute wait at an unmanned reception desk
• Phones ring unanswered throughout the hotel while guests stand helplessly in the lobby
• Room amenities include an aircraft-loud air conditioner and a high-pitched refrigerator causing ear ringing
• Morning reveals a homeless person sleeping in the breakfast area while the front desk phone continues ringing
• Despite multiple attempts to contact management for a refund, calls remain unreturned
• A second story features a Diamond Elite status showdown when a motel refuses to provide a refund despite broken amenities
• The vacation eventually continues with a beautiful mountain cabin experience featuring stunning sunrise and sunset views

If you've ever stayed in a shitty hotel, make sure you leave it in the comments and maybe we'll share your story on air eventually.
