One horror story could be about a guest finding a rat in their room. They were just settling in when they saw it scurrying across the floor. It was so disgusting and made them feel very uncomfortable. They immediately asked to change rooms.
I've heard of a situation where the hotel overbooked during a large convention. A family arrived at the hotel late at night, only to be told there was no room for them. The hotel staff tried to find alternative accommodation but it was in a very seedy part of town. The family was scared and frustrated as they had to deal with this unexpected and inconvenient situation at such a late hour.
In one convention hotel, the housekeeping service was extremely slow. Guests would come back to their rooms in the afternoon after a day of meetings, and their rooms were still not made up. They had to call several times to get someone to clean their rooms. It was very inconvenient, especially for those who wanted to freshen up quickly before another event. Another aspect could be the front desk staff being unhelpful. For example, guests asking for directions to a specific convention hall within the hotel and the staff just giving very vague answers. This made the guests late for important events.
One common scary hotel story is about the haunted room. Guests often report strange noises at night, like footsteps in the hallway when no one is there. Or they might feel a cold draft in a particular corner of the room, and see the curtains move without any open windows. Some have even claimed to see shadowy figures by the bed at night.
The lack of proper ventilation is often an issue. The convention halls get really stuffy and hot with all the people. It can make you feel sick after a while. Another thing is that some vendors sell really low - quality Homestuck merchandise. You might think you're getting a cool item, but when you get home and look closer, it's just a cheap knock - off.
One horror story was the overcrowding. There were so many people at the Homestuck convention that it was difficult to move around. Lines for panels and autographs were insanely long. It felt like you could barely breathe in the packed hallways. And the noise level was overwhelming, making it hard to have a normal conversation with fellow fans.
There was a time when the air conditioning broke at an anime convention. It was in the middle of summer, and everyone was sweating buckets in their cosplay costumes. The smell was horrible, and it made the whole experience really uncomfortable. Some people even fainted from the heat. Cosplayers had their makeup running, and it was just a mess.
One horror story is when a cosplayer's expensive and carefully made costume got ruined by someone accidentally spilling a drink on it at the convention. The cosplayer had spent months on it, and it was a real heartbreak.
One horror story could be about overcrowding. At a furry convention, the venue was way too small for the number of attendees. People were constantly bumping into each other, and it was difficult to move around. Some fursuiters even had their tails or ears accidentally stepped on, which was really painful and ruined their experience.
At a r convention I heard of, the special guests didn't show up as promised. Fans had paid a lot of money to see them, and there was no prior notice. Everyone was disappointed and angry. They had planned their whole day around meeting those guests, and it all fell apart. It was a nightmare for the attendees who were really looking forward to that experience.
One horror story was when I was at an anime convention and the line for a popular autograph session was so long. People were pushing and shoving. Some even tried to cut in line. It was chaos and I almost got crushed. I felt really scared and frustrated.
Yes, there are. For example, some students might have experienced strange noises at night in the hotel near the college. They could hear creaking sounds from the hallway or the walls, which made them feel very scared. It might be due to the old infrastructure of the hotel.
