A Memorable Stay At Afric Hotel, Algiers
#freehotelstay
I had originally reserved a room at this hotel well in advance, booking a four-night stay from October 30 to November 3, believing my marathon was on November 4. When I discovered my Marathon was on the 4th, I approached the reception requesting if I could check out on the 2nd because I wanted to stay with the other runners on the eve of my marathon and return on the 4th. I was told there was no issue. However, when I discovered I could be picked up from my current hotel on the morning of the marathon by the organizers, I canceled my previous arrangement and decided to spend my entire time in Algeria at Afric Hotel. I simply extended my stay in the hotel by booking an additional two days from the 3rd to the 5th when I will fly out of Algiers.
On the 3rd of November which was the day of the race, I checked out before 6 am knowing I would be picked up for the Start line at 6 am. My plan was to check into the new room I had booked when I returned after the marathon.
When I came back, exhausted, smelly, dirty, and eager for a warm bath, I was informed there was no available room. The elderly receptionist who was on duty was firm in refusing to provide a room, even though I explained that Booking.com had already charged my card, and the payment was non-refundable. I attempted to show him proof, but he insisted he did not want to see any proof because he was sure there were no rooms.
Too fatigued to argue further, I sat down in the reception area and messaged the hotel through the booking app. I fell asleep and woke up to the receptionist attempting to show me something on his phone. The manager was on the line and wanted to speak with me. He profusely apologized and confirmed that there were no rooms available, except for the one I had checked out of that morning. He suggested I take that room for the evening, and my room would be changed in the morning.
I agreed to this arrangement, and the following morning, I was upgraded to a room with a sea view.
Will I return to this hotel? Absolutely! I have nothing but praise for this hotel, and I highly recommend it. I understand that the elderly receptionist may have had an off day, so I'm willing to overlook that minor hiccup.

White Temple Wonders in Chiang Rai
Embarking on a journey to Chiang Rai, I found myself standing in awe before the breathtaking marvel that is Wat Rong Khun, or the White Temple. This contemporary Buddhist temple is a testament to artistic brilliance, designed by the visionary Chalermchai Kositpipat.
Approaching the temple, its immaculate white facade adorned with intricate details immediately captivated my senses. Each element seemed to tell a story, blending traditional Thai art with a modern twist. The symbolism embedded in every corner added depth to the spiritual experience.
As I ventured inside, the interior continued to mesmerize with ornate murals and symbolic sculptures. The play of light and shadow enhanced the ethereal atmosphere, creating a sense of reverence and wonder.
One cannot overlook the profound cultural and religious significance of Wat Rong Khun. It stands not only as a remarkable architectural achievement but also as a symbol of the harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary expression.
My visit to the White Temple was a journey into the heart of Thai spirituality and artistic ingenuity. It left an indelible mark, and I left with a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural tapestry that defines this enchanting destination. #ChiangRai #WhiteTemple #TravelExperience#freehotelstay

I had the pleasure of staying in an incredible hotel due to a flight delay. It turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to experience the charm of this lovely hotel for one night. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience were absolutely amazing. Moreover, I was fortunate enough to explore the beautiful city of San Francisco in California, which added to the excitement of my stay. The hotel provided a cozy haven amidst the winter season and the foggy weather. It was conveniently located near the airport, making it a perfect choice for a staycation. This hotel staycation allowed me to indulge in a delightful foodie adventure and embrace my inner urban explorer. The experience was truly memorable, and I couldn't help but share it with others. #SanFrancisco #California #HotelExperience #WinterGetaway #FoggyWeather #AirportStay #StaycationGoals #FoodieAdventure #UrbanExplorer #HotelStay #ThemeParkExcursion #CaliforniaDreaming #UnitedStates #TravelExperience

Ma. Kristina Cassandra Delfin If you wanted to indulge yourself into that freezing feeling while traveling then Harbin in China is the best wintergetaway! Harbin is known for its Ice and Snow World which features ice sculpture exhibitions. Besides, there are also numerous winter activities to do while on the trip. Just prepare more clothes to make yourself warm during the trip. #wintergetaway #travelexperience #harbin #china #chinabeauty #chinatravel #travel #winter #vacation #asia
