How to Sneak into Hotel Pools {Gadling}

Nov 2nd 2006 3:07PM I've never written to one of these before but I just had to respond to this. I travel a great deal and will often pay more to stay in a hotel with an excellent pool. A pool is definetly a draw. How is it fair if I, a paying customer, can't get a lounge chair or have to share the attentions of the wait staff with someone who didn't pay for the priviledge? Even if the pool were empty it still means I paid for something and someone else cheated and got it for free. Let's put it this way. Do you think it's ok to buy cheap seats to a ball game and then sit in someone's box seats? Since when is that ok? Seriously, what was AOL thinking.
