We just left the 2nd night of shows in Missoula and they didn’t play 26. The show was great but I’m sort of floored. My kids are so sad.

I am a Marriott loyalist, not insane but will pay more most of the time for nights, we will hit 30+ this year. So tonight I checked into a new Towneplace for just a night in Bozeman for work. Go to room, do makeup, change clothes. Notice that soap is already foaming in the dish, trash can is full plus some overflow, walk out to room and see that bed is made but rumply. Yuck! Gather all goods, hustle down to front desk on my way out for client meeting and say, "Hey, you put me in a dirty room. I have to run, I think I've got everything but hopefully we can deal with this when I get back, I'm already late." It's 8:30 PM, guy says all good we will put you in a new room, but we are sold out. I said again, I'm late I have to go but I'm here for one night so please just make it happen. He says all good and if you left anything we will transfer it. So I leave, and 2 min later realize I left my work computer on the desk in my mad dash. Call the hotel, same guy says no worries it will be in your new room. I don't feel great but I'm already late.

Get back from client dinner. Use new key, room opens fine. No computer in sight. Go to front desk, slightly panicked, staffer calls me beligerant and orders me to go back to my room, even after speaking to my spouse on the phone. Says she and her guests feel threatened. No one in lobby, I'm sober, and she is behind a desk.

I'm crying back in the room by this point. I've been on hold with M corporate for 30+ min. I need my computer for work. And it has confidential info. I try again at the desk. She tells me I'm drunk and threatening and that she is calling the police. So I called the police.

The kindest officer (and the kindest non-emergency line worker) came out to the hotel, and ended up going up to my original room and retrieving my computer, from a very kind man. The cop was so sweet that I hugged him, and he advised me to stay away from the front desk woman.

I will be sending all of this up the chain, and also trying to report the insane woman, but just FYI and YMMV.

Hello! My mom and I are doing a short jaunt (5 days) from Moreton-In-Marsh down to Bourton On The Water and up to Broadway in September. I've got our first 3 days pretty well mapped out, but the 4th day we need to walk from Upper Slaughter to Broadway. Our other days are around 8-9 miles, and using the OS app I'm struggling to find a route for day 4 that's less than 15 miles. I think we can walk that far, but not sure we want to. We do have 2 nights at Dormy House to relax and maybe walk back down to Stanton on day 5 if we feel like doing more, but I'm a bit concerned about that 4th day. Right now the plan is to take a break in Snowshill and see how we are feeling. I am not opposed to swallowing my pride and taking a taxi the last bit!

Would be so grateful for any advice on a specific route for that stretch. I see that we can use Buckle Street but I'd hate to be on a trafficked road and would rather walk a bit more than use that if we can. Hopefully this makes sense, I'm still getting myself oriented! Thank you.
