So let me tell you about the worst hotel experience I've ever had. All I wanted was a place to sleep in tel aviv for the night, just to have an easy landing after a 20 hour flight from LA. My mom and I landed in Ben Gurion at about 11:30pm. We wanted to wait for a train but we reluctantly took a taxi since we were so exhausted from the fight (the next train was about an hour out). We arrived at La Guardia hotel. From the beginning I got a bad feeling- no one was around and it looked like nobody was inside. So my mom and I started looking for another entrance- we finally found a basement where there was some sort of small business and the guys in there told us the hotel is upstairs. We went back and continued knocking on what now clearly looked like an abandoned building. After flagging down a local guy (there was barely anyone around and this was NOT a nice/safe looking area), I used his phone to call the hotel- and suprise- no one answered (we had just landed so I had no phone and no internet) My mom and I, panicked and unsure of what to do, continued banging. About 15 mins later, a boy shows up and knocks on the door calling for his dad. A man comes out and we're elated! We ask him about the hotel, and he proceeds to tell us that the hotel burned down 6 weeks ago and is now closed. My mom (over 50 years old) and I, after 20+ hours of traveling, after 12am in an unsafe, unfamiliar neighborhood, were basically left stranded on the street with our huge suticaes, with no phone.
