I had booked really early , so I was able to get a great deal. Maybe I would be mixing with the rich and famous! As soon as I approached the reception desk and announced my name , there was a flurry of activity. Before I knew what was happening , the manager had ordered a porter to grab my bags and show me to the penthouse suite. A large basket of fruit and goodies was sitting on a table , and an invitation to join the manager of the hotel for a complimentary dinner was lying on a silver platter.
I had never stayed in such a luxurious hotel before and I thought to myself , "how kind and helpful the staff are!" I gave the porter a big tip , unpacked my bags and headed to the bathroom for a long , hot shower. Imagine my shock when , a few minutes after I returned to my bedroom , the porter returned and asked me nervously to pack my bags and leave the room!
A quick call to the manager ocleared up the whole mystery . lt seemed that I had the same name as a famous writer and the manager had mistaken me for her! They were very apologetic , but it wasn't long before I was in the regular room I had actually booked!
