Group of friends take over Nashville hotel after no employees were found

Three friends took it upon themselves to manage a Nashville hotel for a few hours. With zero experience.

After a night of partying, they were unable to check into their room at La Quinta Inn & Suites because there were no employees in sight.  After checking to make sure no one had fallen asleep behind the desk or in one of the back offices, the friends began to answer phones, greet customers, even set up the breakfast buffet. After all, someone had to do it.

They did manage to find one employee, a maid, who didn’t know what was going on but said she had not seen anyone in a couple of hours. They finally were able to reach the general manager who was on a business trip and unaware that there were no employees on the floor. 

The friends fielded several complaints from customers about unauthorized payments as well as a lack of hotel personnel available. Police later showed up to hotel, but gave them permission to “do whatever you have to do” as he began to leave, the friends reported. 

The friends recounted the tale in a handful of TikTok videos. Here they are:
