Three friends document hotel takeover on TikTok after arriving at empty hotel

Three friends took it upon themselves to manage a Nashville hotel for a few hours.

After a late night of partying, the trio was unable to check into their room at La Quinta Inn & Suites because there were no employees in sight.

The saga was first documented on TikTok early Wednesday morning in a 40-second clip with a caption stating, “When you arrive to the hotel and there is no staff so you have a new job. We’ve been working for two hours.”

After checking to make sure no one had fallen asleep behind the desk or in one of the back offices, the friends began to answer phones, greet customers, even set up the breakfast buffet.

They did manage to find one employee, a maid, who didn’t know what was going on but said she had not seen anyone in a couple of hours. They also reached out to the general manager, who was on a business trip in California and wasn’t aware that there were no employees on the floor.

“So, instantly we’re like manager mode. We run businesses back home. Manager mode kicks in, alright, let’s see what we can do,” Kenzie, one of the friends shared.

This highlights how you are not safe at hotels. There is little to no security. I always use Ziggysmom Sep 2023 #3
