[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2604893, member: 24633"][B][U]OFF-TOPIC[/U][/B] Back in the 90's, a friend and I played in as many Florida 9-Ball Tour events as possible, and we always shared a hotel room to save on expenses. One such event was at Jillian's in the Kendall subdivision west of Miami. There was a nice hotel (can't remember the name) right across the parking lot of the poolroom, and I made our reservation several weeks in advance. Knowing that we would be playing in a lot of the mini-tournaments on Friday night, I made it a point to tell the reservationist that we would be checking in very late Friday night. Well, when we went to check in, we were informed that they had given our room to someone else, and they were sold out. So, we had to drive closer to Miami to look for a room. So many of the hotels and motels were full, but we finally found one with a "Vacancy" sign. We thought it was strange when we had to knock on a solid wood door and someone opened a small opening covered by bars. We were told that the rate was $10 per hour. We did finally find a room, but we had a hard time understanding Spanish. Chris[/QUOTE]
