My first exception was a smell when I got in room, do not know what it was, also could not regulate the heat / AC, so, I called down, and was not offered a replacement room.
-
When I mentioned the AC problem at desk, they said a maintenance person can come up later in the day, but no one can be in room, (so are we to leave our belongings and valuables in the hotel room, with some stranger), where were we to be with all of our gear, take it back down to the car?
-
So, then we had been given a ticket saying breakfast included.
-
We got downstairs to restaurant, and was told the breakfast was not included in price of room.
-
We are African American, Black, and Muslim. [Not normally a topic of discussion]
And this hostess was white,
I do not know why she did not like us.
-
So we were hungry, wanted to know how much for breakfast, was told by the hostess, it is $20 per person,
And not included
-
So, we wanted to see first what would cost 20 for breakfast,
We had to first get allowed in ,
She had to take our info, would not let us go see what was on the buffet, without us giving info, as if we were going to actually eat.
-
then we went over to breakfast counter, and saw only Yogurt, raw fruit, and bread, and my wife was like , heck no, $20 for this,
-
So we went back to the hostess, and was asking is this it for $20,
-
After paying so much for a room, we would think that it would be a representative experience relative to the 160 room price!
Most hotels that we go to, with prices over 100, the breakfast is included!
-
When we approached the hostess,
We asked if this is it for 20,
The woman started raising her voice, and saying that we can leave etc..
We were trying to understand why she was acting aggresive,
So, I defended my spouse, and asked the woman why are you being so aggressive,
Because I stood up for my spouse,
This woman said we had to leave!
-
Thankfully there was another hostess , who arrived, and my wife simply asked is there more for 20,
-
The new hostess said there is more, and showed us where the Eggs, sausage, and warm food was,
And that is all that we had asked for.
-
BTW,
That first hostess, the white woman, had actually called security, and I guess she told them we were not conforming to her policies, whatever,
But they never came over to us, thankfully!
-
I think the second hostess intervened,
And for this (breakfast was not all of that),
But at least there was pinapple slices my favorite, I got some eggs potatoes, turkey bacon,
And I was good,
-
I even left a tip, for the hostess that came to our rescue,
-
I am a Vet, and I have discounts usually from my employer T-Mobile, the VA etc..
But I dont believe I was able to use those discounts this time, so we paid cash, and stayed 4 days 3 nights.
-
So, I like the location of the hotel, we have an annual seminar there, and this was the first time we had been treated like second class citizens!
-
This I did not appreciate!
