🌟 Testing the Limits of Five-Star Reviews

The narrator embarks on a journey to test the veracity of negative hotel reviews by attempting to leave a five-star review at each establishment. The adventure begins in Utah, where despite reading a one-star review detailing a chaotic experience with a cash deposit, blizzard, and a hostage situation, the narrator checks into the hotel.

🏨 A Luxurious Surprise Amidst Low Ratings

The video script moves to a hotel in Fort De Mo with surprisingly low ratings despite its luxurious appearance.

Upon checking in, the narrator is impressed by the hotel's elegance and cleanliness, finding no evidence of the issues mentioned in the reviews. They enjoy a fine dining experience and accidentally spill chocolate cake on the bed, which leads to a humorous moment of self-awareness about potentially becoming the reason for a future negative review.

The script's setting shifts to a hotel in New York City with a 1.4-star rating, where the narrator reads absurd reviews about rats, fish in toilets, and a gorilla in the shower. Despite the bizarre accusations, the hotel appears to be in good condition with no signs of the mentioned horrors. The narrator enjoys the hotel's location, has a great time at Times Square, and even finds the hotel's bathroom to be in excellent shape.

🎰 A Casino Hotel's Unexpected Charm

The journey continues to South Dakota's lowest-rated hotel, which is attached to a casino.

Upon arrival, the narrator is pleasantly surprised by the hotel's comfort and cleanliness, contrary to the reviews. They enjoy the casino, win the Mega Jackpot, and have a delightful time, which sets them up to leave a positive review and share a heartfelt moment upon finishing a book that their wife loves.

Keywords

πŸ’‘OnStar

OnStar is a subscription-based system that provides services in an automobile such as safety, security, and navigation assistance. In the context of this video, it seems to be used metaphorically to introduce the theme of the video, which is about testing the reviews of various hotels across America. It sets the stage for the journey that the video's host is about to embark on.

πŸ’‘Five-star review

A five-star review typically signifies the highest possible rating given by a customer to a product or service, indicating exceptional quality and satisfaction. In the video, the host challenges himself to leave a five-star review at every hotel he visits, despite the negative reviews he has read, adding an element of humor and skepticism to the narrative.

πŸ’‘Hostage situation

A hostage situation refers to a scenario where an individual or group of people are held captive, often under threat of harm. In the script, the mention of a 'hostage situation' in a hotel review is used for comedic effect, highlighting the extreme and absurd nature of the negative reviews the host is investigating.

πŸ’‘Bed bugs

Bed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals while they sleep. They are often associated with unsanitary conditions. In the video, bed bugs are mentioned as a common complaint in the hotel reviews, which the host aims to verify during his stay, adding to the suspense and investigative aspect of the video.

πŸ’‘Cash deposit

A cash deposit is a sum of money paid upfront to secure a service or accommodation, typically refundable upon satisfactory completion of the agreement. In the video, the host humorously refers to a '$100 cash deposit' as a policy he needs to 'test the legitimacy of,' suggesting that this requirement is part of the negative experiences reported by previous guests.

πŸ’‘Blizzard

A blizzard is a severe snowstorm characterized by strong winds and reduced visibility. The script mentions a blizzard as part of the extreme conditions a guest faced upon arrival at a hotel, which the host will experience firsthand, adding to the drama and humor of his review challenge.

πŸ’‘Book

In the context of the video, a book is used as a prop for the host's personal challenge to read more, particularly during his hotel stays. The book serves as a narrative device to show the host's attempt to engage in a more intellectual activity amidst the chaos of his hotel reviews, adding a layer of personal growth to the story.

πŸ’‘Hotel Fort De Mo

Hotel Fort De Mo appears to be a luxurious hotel that the host visits as part of his challenge. Despite its seemingly high-end appearance, the hotel has low ratings, which the host aims to investigate and potentially improve with his five-star review. This contrast between expectation and reality is a key element of the video's humor.

πŸ’‘South Dakota

South Dakota is a state in the United States known for its scenic landscapes and historical sites. In the video, the host travels to South Dakota to visit the 'lowest rated hotel,' adding an element of adventure and discovery to his journey. The remote location of the hotel in South Dakota is used to emphasize the extremity of the host's efforts to complete his review challenge.

πŸ’‘Casino

A casino is a facility that houses various gambling activities. In the script, the casino is part of the hotel complex in South Dakota that the host visits. The mention of the casino and the associated gambling activities adds an element of risk and excitement to the video, as the host experiences the highs and lows of gambling firsthand.

play02:18

clear I didn't come all this way to

leave an average review I came all this

play02:22

way because I want to be the greatest

play02:24

reviewer of all time yeah I bought a

play02:26

briefcase for this I just I I don't know

play02:29

that look cool I mean there are three

play02:31

main accusations for this hotel we've

play02:33

already proven one of them so we'll be

play02:35

checking the room pretty shortly but one

play02:37

thing they don't tell you in the reviews

play02:39

this view okay well you can only pretty

play02:41

much see the fence from here but there's

play02:42

a mountain back there let's see if I can

play02:44

oh yeah look there's a mountain I love

play02:48

mountains anyways this is my stay for

play02:49

the night I can hear my upstairs

play02:52

neighbor actually very vividly they keep

play02:55

flushing the toilet oh that's concerning

play02:59

for number three but regardless let's

play03:01

investigate number two the main

play03:03

accusation I'm afraid of is bed bugs oh

play03:06

okay well one thing we just found pretty

play03:08

quickly there is hair on the pillows but

play03:10

that's that's normal that's where your

play03:12

that's where your head

play03:14

goes all right let's see if there's any

play03:16

bugs in here wakey wakey do you have any

play03:19

any bugs yep there it is that's one of

play03:22

them is he alive I think it might be I

play03:25

think I don't know if it's alive no yeah

play03:27

that's yeah no that's concerning I

play03:29

honestly don't know that stuff is on the

play03:31

bed it's really not that big of a deal

play03:32

like if it's dead skin cells or

play03:34

something like I probably have that in

play03:36

my bed it's just the fact that I know

play03:38

it's not

play03:40

mine problem solved the room comes with

play03:42

a microwave in a in a coffee machine I

play03:44

feel like that's actually that's pretty

play03:45

good to help you overcome the other

play03:47

stuff the bathroom is fine it really is

play03:49

the main thing there's no way that

play03:51

there's this much

play03:53

what are they okay is my question the

play03:56

good news is it's almost dinner time and

play03:59

play04:01

that is a huge Plus for me we've got

play04:02

four walls the door's locked and I love

play04:04

sleeping backs really the only thing

play04:06

left to do is order some Chinese food

play04:08

and wait to see if a bomb squad shows up

play04:11

for my next door

play04:16

neighbor dinner is

play04:19

served the door Dash driver had to like

play04:21

play04:30

reason only Impractical Jokers is on

play04:34

of the main reasons I was excited to

play04:35

hotel looks so fancy it is it actually

play05:33

cost a lot of money which is so

play05:35

confusing because the ratings are so low

play05:38

maybe Troy's review can give us some

play05:40

insight not a single room ready until

play05:42

6:00 p.m. when my room was finally done

play05:44

I opened the fridge and let out the

play05:45

deepest grown of my adult life because

sense I

play11:13

think I'm terrified when I was trying to

play11:16

book the hotel behind me because its

play11:17

average rating is 1.4 Stars 1.4 well I

play11:20

was running into a lot of complications

play11:22

because the whole thing with this hotel

play11:24

is that they keep changing their name on

play11:26

Apple Maps it's called New York inn but

play11:28

there's a sign that says City rooms NYC

play11:30

and then in the entryway it says be home

play11:32

Hotel on top of all of our concerns

play11:34

every website has wildly different

play11:36

photos of what the inside looks like

play11:37

play11:39

any answers and have any hope at leaving

play11:41

a five-star review is if I go inside

play11:43

let's go find out what the heck this

play15:19

book for Haley so I'm listening to the

play15:21

audio book a cottage on the rocky sh

play15:23

line with Naughty Pine floorboards and

play15:24

windows that are nearly always open the

play15:25

smell of everg anding in on the as I

play15:27

approached my destination I was confused

play15:30

because I am in the middle of nowhere

play15:32

but then I saw

play15:36

[Music]

play15:39

it I made it to the lowest rated hotel

play15:42

in South Dakota this is like the least

play15:44

trustworthy looking building I think

play15:45

I've ever seen somehow it's an inanimate

play15:47

object yet still looks like it's evading

play15:50

taxes it probably is this is the only

play15:52

solid photo of of the inside that I

play15:54

could find which is frightening so let's

play15:55

check out the reviews Matt said been

play15:57

coming here for 10 years and lose money

play15:59

every time that was 2015 and then he

play16:02

updated his review a year later each

play16:05

time I go I ask myself why I bother

play16:07

going here this is my last time coming

play16:09

good riddance and then uh you guessed

play16:11

that he updated his review again update

play16:14

even worse the payout on the slots is so

play16:16

horrible give your money to the state

play16:17

and not these tight jerks never coming

play16:19

back guys he wasn't done he came back 3

play16:22

years later and updated his review again

play16:24

decided to try again uh still not much

play16:27

has changed this place is a joke lost so

play16:29

much money I wish this place never

play16:31

existed I'm done here burned my Casino

play16:33

Card it's hilarious that I can hit a Max

play16:35

bet bonus here and I get $40 Wahoo

play16:38

that's not even gas money to get home

play16:40

brilliant I'm moving to Florida I'm

play16:42

getting emotional saying this but I

play16:44

don't think he moved to Florida because

play16:46

he went back tried my luck again

play16:48

absolutely rigged guys we need to have

play16:50

an intervention if Matt is in there I'm

play16:52

taking him back home to Texas with me

play16:54

gambling is illegal there I know that's

play16:55

not even about the hotel but I I thought

play16:57

it was so crazy I have to try the slots

play17:00

in the casino imagine I win a bunch of

play17:03

money the hotel for the most part sounds

play17:06

pretty good except for this one review

play17:08

from Bill very disappointed we drove

play17:10

over from Minnesota for a weekend away

play17:12

we checked into our room and it was okay

play17:13

at Best in need of some upgrades then we

play17:15

looked around and found an underwear on

play17:17

the side of the jacuzzi tub did he just

play17:18

say there's a jacuzzi in the

play17:20

hood I'll continue we went down to the

play17:23

desk to ask for a different room lady

play17:24

didn't even seem surprised about the

play17:26

underwear no sorry no free play at the

play17:28

casino 18 didn't work how am I supposed

play17:30

to gamble save money live better

play17:33

don't come here that all sounded really

play17:34

awful until he threw the Walmart slogan

play17:37

in there at the end how did he do that

play17:39

or why look guys the Knight is still

play17:41

young and I've got a reservation with my

play17:43

name on it at the lowest rated hotel in

play17:45

South Dakota I may never say that again

play17:48

hopefully not let's go see if we can

play17:49

find

play17:50

[Music]

play17:52

Matt you're a long ways from home I know

play17:56

came all the way out here for for this

play17:57

place

play17:59

this place really in the middle of

play18:00

nowhere huh it is are the slots lucky

play18:02

today they

play18:06

are have a good

play18:08

[Music]

play18:17

one sorry I got to stop with a slow-mo I

play18:20

just I I think it's so cool if you're

play18:22

wondering why the lighting is so good in

play18:23

this shot it's because I literally I

play18:25

have my phone on a light bulb

play18:29

how about a room tour the bed is cozy

play18:32

this is a nice bed the fridge does not

play18:34

contain breast milk not one but two

play18:37

chairs for all of your sitting needs and

play18:39

finally the bathroom is really nice and

play18:42

it does not contain underwear I'm

play18:45

starting to think Bill's review was an

play18:46

inside job and he just wanted free spins

play18:49

on the slots it doesn't surprise me that

play18:51

a hotel attached to a casino would have

play18:53

bad reviews it's mostly probably just

play18:55

people that lost their money cuz this is

play18:57

I'm having fun look at this min are you

play18:59

kidding me that's the most fun looking

play19:00

menu I think I've seen in any

play19:03

establishment I love it here also on the

play19:04

way here I pretty much started crying at

play19:06

this book this book's got me in a trance

play19:08

it's like a it's like a Cheesy romance

play19:10

book for reference Haley rated this book

play19:12

five stars I think she's actually going

play19:14

to freak out whenever she realizes that

play19:16

I read this book I've got like three

play19:17

more chapters left this is crazy I

play19:19

haven't read a book so I'm experiencing

play19:22

some character development here in this

play19:24

video speaking of which I'm going to go

play19:25

gamble this place feels like a world in

play19:27

the metaverse I I can't believe how much

play19:29

dopamine is available here I'm willing

play19:31

to lose a $20 bill for the video just to

play19:34

prove that the slots are rigged but

play19:35

you're never going to believe what

play19:36

happened come on come

play19:38

on

play19:40

yes I kind of stopped recording at this

play19:42

point because I had like $6 left I

play19:45

thought I was going to lose it all and

play19:46

then wait wait no way no actual way no

play19:52

way I just did I just win the Mega Jack

play19:54

no way Matt is going to be so upset I

play19:57

just won the mega jackpot

play19:59

this is insane I started getting really

play20:01

nervous cuz I feel like everyone was

play20:03

looking at me like they were mad at me

play20:05

so I just cashed out as fast as I could

play20:07

and got the money I got myself a Big

play20:09

Cheese Pizza did the New York bite and

play20:11

watched some football I just had so much

play20:13

fun at the casino Matt if you're

play20:15

watching this dude I'm so sorry this

play20:17

place is great watched football that was

play20:19

fun got back to my room and finished my

play20:21

book I cannot wait to get home and tell

play20:23

Haley that I finished one of her

play20:24

favorite books she's going to think it's

play20:26

romantic I think I've definitely got a

play20:28

good review cooking for this hotel but

play20:30

listen to how good one of these last

play20:31

lines is no one else's happiness is

play20:34

yours to Grant but when I need to feel

play20:36

safe and happy I go

play20:50

for her and she's freaking out you get

play20:52
