To think my mum was being rude?

[Hairbrush123]

Just came back from a trip to London with my mum and we spent the night in a 5* hotel. We both love London and my mum had a voucher to use a hotel for an overnight stay so thought it was perfect.

She doesn’t really get to experience staying in hotels so I decided to book the room in my name as I have status with this particular hotel and because of that - we were upgraded to a two bedroom suite from a basic room. It was so opulent (think marble bathrooms, so much space in the bedrooms) and her reaction really surprised me! She didn’t say anything about the fact there are two bedrooms and a living room as opposed to a twin room. I asked her have you noticed we have been upgraded once we were in the room for an hour and she responses with “yeah it’s nice” in the most monotone way possible. She acted like this was something she does every time she comes to London and checks in into a hotel.
We went to visit my sister who was staying at Travelodge and she was more impressed with the Travelodge than the hotel we stayed in.

AIBU to think she was being rude?

Op only response she said was a balanced response is the one that agreed with her
Why come on here if you think your right already

This is a bigger issue than the hotel room you should of maybe put all details in opening OP

The response she said was balanced clearly stated that the mother wasn’t rude. It was a balanced response.

The reactions on here are really odd! Regardless of where someone normally stays it’s just odd (not rude per se) not to comment favourably on what I’d clearly very different to any type of hotel room. So I don’t think you’re unreasonable to question it slightly. My exMIL could be a bit like this about stuff. Sort of deliberately underwhelmed I’d say.

*regular type of hotel room

Really? If I had taken my daughter away to a swanky hotel (bear in mind she hadn’t told me she had upgraded the room), and she said to me, ‘so what do you think of the room?’ I would probably say, ‘it’s nice’. In my mind I have treated my daughter to a beautiful 5* hotel room, and wouldn’t really get what she was trying to say unless just making conversation. If anything I would think she didn’t like it, as in ‘what do you think’? Surely if anyone should be ‘gushing’ about the room it should be the daughter saying ‘oh mum this room is beautiful, thanks so much for treating me to it, I really appreciate it!’
