Hotel staff are used to guests using their rooms to do strange things. But this one takes the cake ”¦ er … pizza.
A guest at the New Zealand’s $300 a night Hermitage Hotel in Mount Cook called staff to her room claiming that she couldn’t get her microwave oven to open, and she’d stuffed a frozen pizza in there. When staff rushed in, they found her standing with a puzzled expression on her face in front of ”¦ wait for it … the wall safe. The guest, an American woman in her forties, apparently mistook the safe for an oven.
Getting the pizza out was no laughing matter. The woman had punched in all kinds of numbers trying to get it to open, and had jumbled up the code. After trying unsuccessfully for hours, the staff was forced to track down the guy responsible for the master codes to the hotel safes.
