Second edit a reviewer made a suggestion for single spacing the lines, and I made a couple of changes and added a note in the Author notes.

A nicely written poem, with a smooth flow and effortless rhyme. I enjoyed this easy read, it brought to mind a recent trip which ended not as planned.

Once I turned on the lights and the roaches started scurrying.
This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

It's the same in my field too. As caregivers we run into fellow workers that I can't imagine being in this field. Why would anyone be in a field taking care of people when they don't even like people? Well, you know the answer. It must be the biggest pain for you with disabilities. People just don't think. If you are in a wheel chair you can't go over a curb! If the chair is wider than the hall, how do you get down the hall? Then, their job is hospitality and they don't have any! Part of a vacation is being treated special for a little while, right? Just a week, pretty please. Maybe hello, how are ya. Ha! You're on the money here friend. Great piece. mikey
I forgot what it looked like before!! It looks sharp as a tack now. Perfect quatrains. Beautiful. I was up in arms over the content before. Hahaha. mikey

I'm sure these inconsistencies and hardships of travel are
Extremely difficult in your situation.
You have shown just how true this is.

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is an interesting poem from the author. For some strange reason I kept thinking of the song, "Hotel California." The words, "You can check out any time, but you can never leave," are foremost in my mind. Just remember no matter how bad a hotel is if you can at least leave you are lucky.

Thanks maate. Only problem is most of them want you to pay in full up front on entry now.
-
That is bad.
-
Seems a lot of guests want to take off without paying hence the need to charge on entry.
-
I can understand that. They take your credit card details in this part of the world.

Comment from adewpearl
solid use of abcb rhyming
good use of enjambment to keep the story flowing from line to line
good alliteration in driving till dropping
good satiric humor in commenting on some of life's more unsavory moments and the less than gracious people we can encounter, even in the "hospitality" industry

You are right but, the writing looks like a complain rather than a poem..your sentiments and feelings can be felt through out your writings...it would have been better to read as a short script with some more elaboration ....thanks for sharing..
