We went to "Boston" and stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Danvers, Massachusetts. The place was up on a hill in the middle of no where off the highway, and we were a little surprised to see a Coco Key water park attached to the building.
Over all, walking into the place was gorgeous. The lobby was very nice and had a few lounges. But the trouble started when we walked up to the desk to check in and were told about a $100 fee for a security deposit on the room. Okay? So we paid it...She told us we should receive the money back on our card after 7 business days... What ever. We walked away after being told our room was ready. She pointed us to a parking lot and said we could access the elevator from over there. The entrance wasn't too obvious and there were no hotel carts around to wheel our heavy luggage up to the 4th floor...Wonderful.
We arrived on the 4th floor and were disappointed to find that our room was the 2nd to last one on the left at the end of the long hallway. Not much to our surprise, the room wasn't ready. We stood around for a minute and looked down to see room service wasn't much far away, so we decided to head back down to the car with our heavy bags and head on over to TGI Fridays for a good lunch.
Considering we had checked in the hotel at 10:30am or so, and it was now past 1 in the afternoon, we figured the room should be ready. It wasn't. Mom got pissed and walked down to the lobby, threw her heavy bag onto the floor and stormed over to a manager. Our problem was finally fixed when the woman gave us a new room that was closer to the elevators. We stepped into our room and tossed our things down.
The room was blistering hot, and it stunk like old feet, of course, so did the rest of the hotel. Oh and what a wonderful view of the roof and parking lot we had! I had to use the bathroom, of course, so I went and and found only one bar of soap for 4 people.
I found the girls at the front desk slightly dumb, to say the least...On the hotel website it said that they had a Starbucks located in the hotel and they knew nothing of it. We just happened to be talking about it and another guest had to tell us that it closed a while ago. Wonderful news again!
At this point my mother and sister just wanted to go to the pool and relax for a while, so Alicia and I stayed in the room and considered going down for a swim. Well, before we knew it, Mom returned with a disappointed little sister because you have to pay $5 to use the pool. Wow!?!
What ever, we got over it. We went to our meeting of Andrew Wommack and had a blast. Sleeping was good, the beds were comfy and I felt like I was on a big marshmallow. And when my iPod died, no one even snored! I was very pleased with the restless night I had.
Morning rolled around and we were hungry, obviously. There was no continental breakfast, (did I mention that when we wanted a pizza delivered, they wouldn't bring it to our room for security reasons? Way to treat your guests...) Anyways, breakfast for 4 cost $50. It wasn't even very appetizing. Fed up, and ready to go home, we left the hotel with very poor attitudes. But it seemed as if they wanted us to stay! We pressed the button for an elevator and waited... waited... waited... over five minutes went by and we laughed and found another one... same issue. What ever! Broken elevators! We bounded down the stairs with our luggage and stormed out to the car while Mom checked us out.

Andrew Wommack gave us some things to look up in the Bible while we were there. He said a few more but I just couldn't keep up, he shouts them out one after another! Haha!

He also said some inspirational and funny things.
"You're already blessed." Meaning you don't need to ask the Lord to bless you or save you/someone else from sin, that's already happened.
"God's in your belly; that's why you look down when you pray."
"The church is teaching 'The God Father', not God the Father."
"God loves you, stupid.."
"Your born again spirit is identical to Jesus."
(I came up with this one) "Demonic Party: Invite only. Guess what? You're not invited!" he was teaching about how you invite demons into your life, but you don't have to...or something.
"Don't embrace illness. It's not who you are." As in saying something like, "Oh I've been diagnosed with cancer but I accept my illness and I'll live with it....." so on and so forth.
"What a stupid prayer..."
"Some people may think I'm weird....But hey, I think you're weird."
"Thank you Father that You have already saved them." As in, you must thank the Lord for your healing, it may not be visible (yet) but you're healed.
"If God could be confused, he would be confused."
"You don't have to speak in tongues, you get to."
"Don't pray heaven down, pray heaven up!"
"Most Christian music is sorry, it's terrible...It will kill you!"
"If I was God, I would just dropkick us off the Earth...Right into space!"
