In a thrilling turn of events, guests at a Wisconsin hotel got more than they bargained for when they found not one, but two snakes taking a refreshing dip in the hotel pool and hot tub.
“Wow, talk about a unique amenity,” said one guest, clearly thrilled to have encountered these slithering serpents. “I never thought I’d see a live reptile up close and personal like this,” they added, already planning their next trip to the hotel.
But not everyone was quite so excited by this unexpected addition to their vacation. Some guests reportedly felt the snakes were becoming a little too comfortable with their surroundings, with a few even suggesting they had witnessed the snakes attempting to order drinks at the swim-up bar.
“I don’t know about you, but the last time I checked, snakes weren’t exactly known for their pool etiquette,” said one disgruntled guest, clearly unimpressed by the reptile’s behavior. “I mean, I’m all for being inclusive, but this is just ridiculous,” they added, shaking their head in disbelief.
In response to the uproar caused by the snakes, the hotel management attempted to play down the incident. “Oh, those snakes are harmless,” they said with a dismissive wave of their hand. “They won’t hurt you unless you provoke them.”
This statement only seemed to further incite many guests, who were convinced that given the opportunity, the snakes would order a martini and engage in a round of poolside gossip. “Listen, I don’t care how tame those things are,” said one agitated guest. “I’m just not comfortable sharing a hot tub with something that doesn’t have arms, legs, or an actual face.”
Despite the controversy surrounding their presence, the snakes remained unrepentant, continuing to swim and sunbathe alongside hotel guests. Some even reported seeing the snakes attempt to steal pool towels and snag a few watermelon slices from the hotel’s complimentary breakfast buffet.
As it turns out, the snakes were eventually removed from the pool area following a somewhat awkward confrontation with a hotel security guard, who reportedly attempted to coax the snakes out of the hot tub by playing a recorder. It remains unclear whether the snakes were successfully relocated to another part of the property, or whether they simply slithered off into the night to find a new swimming spot.
Overall, it’s safe to say that the snakes caused quite a stir during their brief stay in the Wisconsin hotel. For some, they were a harmless addition to their vacation. For others, they were an unwelcome reminder of the precarious balance between humans and the wild. But one thing’s for sure: they definitely got more out of their hotel stay than the guests who spent their entire trip holed up in their rooms binge-watching Netflix.
