Deja Vu!

When you adopt from China the agencies like to put you up in 4 star hotels.  One our second adoption, the hotel was some distance from the airport.  Our first adoption, the hotel was right around the corner to the airport.  When you adopt from Beijing, you have to stay two weeks and then a week in Guangzhou.  

We arrived at the hotel and gathered our things.  They passed out our room keys and everyone went to drop off their belongings.  Our room was on the 7 or 8 floor.  On first inspection, it was nice.  The only problem was that is was a little warm.  We did not know if that was the way air  worked in China or the thermostat needed to be turned down.  We adjusted it.  

That night, it did not get any better.   We even called the front desk.  They came up and made an adjustment.   We even opened the windows.  Beijing in September is not cool.  We slept a restless sleep that night.  

The next day we said something to our guide.  She went to the front desk and said something.  They offered to move us to another room.  First we tried it out.  As soon as we stepped in, we knew the air was broken.  We took the room.  It was a relief.  

Fast forward to adoption #3.  We were back.  They put us up in the same hotel.  When they gave us our room assignment, it sounded familiar.  We got to our room and went in.  It was warm, but it was also in February.  It was cold outside.  We made an adjustment and it did not get any cooler.  We called the front desk and they came up to make an adjustment.  I finally decided to open the windows.  They had checked us into the same room.  They air was still not working.  

Suffice it to say, but we did not stay long.  We complained and they decided to move us again.
