My humiliating experience at the Circa Luxury Apartment Hotel in Cape Town, 23rd May 2017

<p>My humiliating experience at the Circa Luxury Apartment Hotel in Cape town, South Africa</p> <p> </p> <p>Everything seemed #Rosy during my stay at the Circa Luxury Apartment Hotel in Cape Town until it was time to check out yesterday.</p> <p> </p> <p>As one of the guy’s on duty rung up my bill while I waited impatiently so I could get busy with my last few hours in Cape Town, suddenly, there was an item on the bill that I could not identify with.</p> <p> </p> <p>“Why are you charging me for 2 pillow cases?” I asked in despair.</p> <p> </p> <p>“Well, we have to charge you for it because it has a stain,” the dark-haired hunk across the desk responded.</p> <p> </p> <p>And even though he was good looking, I actually lost all respect for him. He looks good, grooms good, but where in the world did his brains disappear to?</p> <p> </p> <p>I can understand that business in all aspects requires logic, however for this one, logic went out of the window. And more out of the window when he said let me call the manager.</p> <p> </p> <p>C’mon, where is your head? Why are you calling the manager? Does your mind have a mind of it’s own? And why do you even work for a company that humiliates its customers?</p> <p> </p> <p>Then came manager feeling himself once again. I had already met him the day before for a different conversation around my booking and here I was meeting him again…on a bad note.</p> <p> </p> <p>“Come with me #Mum!” and I though to myself, no he did not just call me #MUM!</p> <p> </p> <p>So, at this point, I was very confused. I had though about Imstagram #Live for a video that would capture this ridiculous never-ending painful moment at the Circa Luxury Apartment Hotel and set my soul free, but I was scared. I know it sounds funny when I say I was scared, but I was scared for my life because of ……”what if they did something to me in retaliation of my instagram live video on play and nobody every found out?”</p> <p> </p> <p>After 15 painful minutes of this #ish, I asked them to swipe my card so I can leave, because even God knows, I needed to leave.</p> <p> </p> <p>Here I am back in Johannesburg today and because I do not agree with this and how it went down, I am sharing this experience to inform you who has not checked into this hotel so you can know #betta!</p> <p>I am also sharing it to empower you so you are not embarrassed/exposed/humiliated. We all go through different life experiences and if we do not share certain stories, we leave lots of people getting hurt & broken. Let’s take responsibility; if I pay a price and say nothing, too many will have to pay the price…but If I pay a price and say something, I am happily RESPONSIBLE and save many from what I had to go through!</p> <p> </p> <p>As for Circa Luxury Apartment Hotel, NAWA FOR YOU!</p> <p> </p> <p>Peace, Love Blessings</p> <p> </p> <p>Liz Ogumbo-Regisford</p> <p> </p> <p>www.lizogumbo.com</p> <p>Be A Responsible Africa Citizen!</p>
