Check-in shouldn’t feel like a battle—but when my dream Memorial Day hotel deal goes up in smoke, I find myself up against Madison, the queen bee receptionist who makes humiliation an art form. Every step—from my canceled reservation to her public shaming and the cold shoulder (literally, with no hot water!)—pushes me closer to the edge. But Madison isn’t just rude; she’s got secrets, a fake smile, and a family dinner that’s not what it seems. As I fight for my room, my dignity, and even an umbrella, the drama spills into the buffet, the hallways, and finally, a shocking accusation that could ruin my reputation. Can I turn the tables on Madison before my weekend getaway becomes a viral disaster—or will her next move finish me off for good?
A holiday getaway shouldn’t start with humiliation, but that’s exactly what happens when my hotel reservation vanishes and the front desk clerk makes me her public target. I came for rest; instead, I’m thrown into a battle of wits and dignity against Madison, the queen of petty power plays. Each attempt to salvage my weekend—whether flashing my corporate badge, demanding a manager, or simply asking for breakfast—only escalates the showdown. When Madison denies me even the basics and flaunts her favoritism, the line between customer and victim blurs. But as secrets spill and the hotel’s perfect image cracks, one question haunts my every move: how far will I go to reclaim my dignity before Madison destroys my holiday for good?
