WI DAV held it's State Convention at the Oneida Hotel. This is a beautiful facility that accommodated us with grace and hospitality. I am a disabled Army Veteran who travels with a Service dog. I am not always received with respect when I travel. The Oneida had no problems accommodating me and I appreciated that more than I can tell them. My room was beautiful, clean, and large enough for me and my stuff to move around comfortably. When I asked where to walk him so I could be respectful of the property, the manager looked surprised by the question. I always ask because I always try to honor a property because I love giving back the respect that is shown to me. I understand people don't always "get" my "need" for the service dog so I'm grateful when I'm not harassed about it.
Everyone at Oneida was wonderful! I had a small issue checking in but it was quickly resolved and the rest of my stay was marvelous. I even appreciated the professional way the check-in situation was resolved.
It's always nice that the Nation welcomes the DAV Convention with our service animals! We work hard all year to fight for Veterans to get what they deserve. The convention asked us to gather, plan, celebrate, and honor the work done in WI. As a Vet with PTSD, having a beautiful, peaceful, clean, respectful, happy venue is appreciated! I hope in future years, more members of the Oneida Nation will actually join DAV! It would be quite amazing to induct an Oneida Chapter at our next Convention!!!! We would love to welcome YOU the way you welcome US! read more
