The strangest hotel I stayed at...

To be honest this was just a strange night all the way around… Many years ago my mom, sister and I went on a trip to Europe with my aunt and her 4 kids and one of their girlfriends. We were all packed tightly into a van and our luggage was stuffed in the back. My mom, sis and I shared a suitcase and my aunt and two female cousins shared one. My two male cousins shared a suitcase and the girlfriend shared with them, which she said was awkward, lol.

We drove from Germany and all over Europe, well while with them I went to Austria, Switzerland, Newfoundland and a few other small places that we drove through. We drove from Germany straight through to Austria and arrived in Salzburg at the Hotel Kobenzel around 3 am. This was a beautiful hotel, the only thing I found to be strange was that the pool was on the second floor of the hotel and it was literally a large circle I want to say about the size of 5 trampolines in a circle and it was @ 6 ft deep with no shallow end.
Also there was no lifeguard, you were on your own there and the only light was over the siting area and not over the pool so if you wanted to swim at night, you did so in the dark. There was a sitting area however with a lamp in a end table, but that light never touched the pool at all. Then the next hotel was a um.. interesting one…

We were in Newfoundland I believe it was and the hotel was over a night club. As my aunt and two male cousins were in making the hotel reservations the employee behind the desk asked her if she wanted the “Happily ever after” package. My two cousins knew what that was and said yes! My aunt said no. We got upstairs and discovered that we were in a hotel that was used as a brothel of sorts with this very active night club on the ground floor. There were disco lights flashing around through the room and out the open doors.  When my aunt found out what the “Happily ever after” was she about flipped out. The music played all night until at least 5 am. Thankfully we left promptly after breakfast!
