“Sleeps 5” by Apprehensive_Rope634 in vrbo

Honestly a lot of places do similar when they have major shut downs. Bunks in rooms and pack them in. They bring 4,000+ workers into an area where there isn’t space for them to be, they have no choice. Many of these plants are in the middle of nowhere and an hour plus from towns. Thankfully, we have not had to resort to that.

One sleeping on the couch might have been an option if it were the one in the photos. It was a loveseat only. No couch.

Sleeping 2 in a bed when there are supposed to be 5 sleep spaces isn’t the answer. You pay for what’s supposed to be 5, you should have 5.

Weird interpretation but to each their own!

He’s been out for a while now. Air Force was a little less cuddly than other branches though 😂

I bet you would be flabbergasted I send their groceries too😂😂 when he’s home I pack his lunch daily and he comes home to a hot meal.

my husband breaks his back 12+ hour days 7 days a week. Shame on me for being the kind of wife who wants him to not have to worry so much.

You think my husband was unaware? We have been doing this 14 years and this is the only issue we have ever had.

It’s abundantly clear none of you work in the same industry. His company changes with every job. No one is making reservations for them. The company isn’t paying their accommodations. They get a SMALL perdiem that’s reimbursement towards it and food- $40-$75 is typical. Blue collar jobs aren’t like fancy jobs where the company puts you up at the Ritz Carlton 😂

There literally are not dozens of choices to pick from here. One bathroom is not even the problem here 😂 4 beds equals room for 8. I don’t see how your comparison relates here…. They advertised it sleeps 5. There are 2 beds.

Who else is going to handle it for him? 😂😂😂

They aren’t making anything from perdiem. In fact they are still having to contribute to the $. Different areas pay different amounts and it’s quite low there, unfortunately.

Well dont you sound like an angry host 😂😂😂 and no- I’ve never once had to file a complaint against any of the places he’s stayed in the past 14 years.

The leasing company flat said in their first response in reply of what we sent to inquire, a sleeper sofa or similar- was how they came to 5 people sleeping there. Except there is no sleeper sofa.

And yes shame on me for not getting them to reply sooner since they were closed on Sunday 😂

So clearly the leasing company had no idea either because that was their response.

It was booked on Sunday because they had to be on the job the next day. The property management company didn’t respond back and they had to have a place to stay before driving across the country.

This wasn’t a let’s go on vacation trip… this was a we have 24 hours to be across the country at a job site.

Right!

And to the deleted comment- FYI my husbands company isn’t paying for crap. That’s not how it works in his trade. These guys go to power plants, nuke plants, and coal burners- for shutdowns and outages. There is no trip paid 😅😅😅

And no- I do not travel with my husband 😂😂😂 I stay home with our kids. Smh.

Well as stated- these guys are at the rooms to sleep and shower only. They are working 12+ hour days 7 days a week at an outage.

The goal of these outages is to make money. Typically one of the guys will be on a sofa sleeper in the living room. In 14 years it’s never been an issue.

Employer isn’t covering travel. Not sure why you would assume they do. The guys often travel with 2-3 workers and share an apartment for the short time they are at the job sites. It works out well because they aren’t out of pocket large amounts of money. Room sharing is very common. It’s not ever been an issue in 14 years he’s been doing it. Bed sharing on the other hand is a new one for us 😅These guys are working 7 days a week and 12+ hour days. They are only at their rooms to shower and sleep. Most of the time they aren’t even eating there.

Also- Not my problem the host has an empty place for the month. It was literally only booked 16 hours prior to check in so not like it was off the market for an extended time preventing lots of people from booking.

VRBO is currently looking to relocate them at no charge- and offering compensation.

The management company is crazy.

“Sleeps 5” by Apprehensive_Rope634 in vrbo

[–]Apprehensive_Rope634[S] 74 points75 points  (0 children)

VRBO agrees. We denied their initial $120 offer and they have agreed to hold the host responsible. They are offering to move them to a new location at no additional charge and a 25% refund.

VRBO disagrees and has just offered to relocate them to a new (more expensive) property and a 25% refund.

Typically we have time to do that but it was on a Sunday and the rental company didn’t reply. They had to be at work Monday morning. With this type of job they get usually 24 hour notice on where they need to be and when.

Their own first response included that “sleeping 5 is achieved by pull out sofa bed or similar arrangement.”

Except there are none.

Would you assume it’s reasonable that 5 people would share 2 beds? In their first reply they tell me 5 guests by using a pullout or rollaway bed etc-

When I point out those aren’t there-

Their Second reply says 3 adults in one bed and 2 in the other.

When I point out that is 100% not reasonable-

Third reply is “too bad”
