I was recently considering staying at this motel to go Steelhead fishing in the Erie, PA area. I thought I had remembered the owner giving me a slight military discount before. So, I politely asked him if I could get that deal again? He proceeded to give me a lecture, which arrogantly included that he has a degree in business and how his rates were already cheap and anyone who gives a "military" discount has inflated their prices to accommodate the discount. I'm a USAF veteran. I spent 32 years in the service of my country. I don't expect a handout. But, I don't expect to be arrogantly talked down to either. Especially considering that most hotels and motels only discount their rates by 10%, which is usually the same as a AAA discount. FYI Mr. Maple Motel owner, you should not immediately assume that when someone asks for a military discount that they aren't also college educated. I have a B.S. degree in Mass Communications from SIU-E, Illinois. I hope that in the future this motel owner will treat vet's or anyone else with a little more respect and an "educated business owner" professional attitude. read more
