What are some convention hotel horror stories?

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.

I heard of a hotel horror story where a traveler woke up in the middle of the night to find a figure standing at the foot of his bed. He tried to turn on the light but the power seemed to be out. He screamed and the figure just disappeared. When he finally got the lights on, there was no sign of anyone else in the room. He was so scared that he left the hotel right away without even packing all his things.

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.

There was a case where a cosplayer had a very expensive prop weapon as part of their costume. The security at the anime convention didn't properly check the prop when the cosplayer entered. Later, during the con, another attendee accidentally bumped into the cosplayer and got hurt by the prop. There was a lot of chaos and the cosplayer was blamed, but it was also the security's fault for not ensuring the prop was safe.

A common one is overcrowding. You can't move around easily and it gets really hot. Another is when vendors run out of popular items early. For example, a limited - edition anime figure that you've been waiting to buy.

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 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.

Well, some horror stories from the diplomat hotel include experiences in the basement. Guests who have ventured there, perhaps looking for storage or a laundry room, have described a sense of dread and unease. There are tales of old, dilapidated rooms in the basement that seem to hold a dark energy. Some have even claimed to hear faint whispers and moans coming from these areas, which is really spooky and has made many people avoid going down there.
