Just entered this establishment because my 5 month old needed to crash for the night. After x amount of hours of driving he gets rather cranky.
We wanted a non-smoking room and told the lady we're driving from NYC back home to Denver, Colorado. Well, she made me read the agreement and told me to take special notice to the "Smoking while in a non-smoking room" charge. She knows we have our baby, so why would we be smoking? Heck, why even ask for a non-smoking room if we're about to smoke with him around. She said, "If you smoke in that room, and we smell any smoke of ANY kind, then that card will be charged $250." Do you guys get it? Since we're from Colorado, a state which recently legalized marijuana, it automatically means that we're pot smokers. Furthermore, we're crazy enough to smoke it around our baby.
I can't remember the last time I felt so insulted. She was obviously one of the owners. I briefly met her husband. That made me somewhat reluctant to write this review. I mean, we've all had that partner at one point or another that says something we don't agree with, and we're embarassed over it. I thought to myself, "Before I choose to write my review, I best find out if her husband feels the same as her." I mean, I don't want him to get upset at her and cause some sort of issue, you know?
So I called him up to see if he'd apologize or be completely on board with what happened. He said that I had no reason to be insulted and that they were just protecting their stuff. He kept repeating, "You went down the road." Which I guess is some sort of saying in Iowa. My guess would be that I left and that there's nothing left to talk about. I'm not sure. So in the end he defended his and her position. He also stated that they never had as big of an issue with someone as they did with me. Choosing not to stay in their motel after being insulted and then RESPECTFULLY calling for an apology is a big issue?
If this kind of ignorance is your cup of tea then you'll feel right at home. If you just want a place to sleep for the night then go somewhere else. read more
