Don't ever stay at a Comfort Inn

[Bluesplayer]

My wife and I drove from Minneapolis to Ohio last month for my son's wedding, and to do some house-hunting. We had made reservations at a Comfort Inn that was centrally located near all of the wedding festivities, over the web for a 4 night stay. We arrived at the Comfort Inn in Elyria, Ohio around midnight, weary from the long drive, and looking forward to collapsing in happy exhaustion in a clean fluffy bed.

I'm in a wheelchair, and the first sign of trouble was that the doors were locked, so a clerk had to unlock them. She chose not to actually hold them open in simple human assistance, so my wife had to struggle with that on her own. When I commented that they should invest in some automatic doors, the clerk, who looked like she might be a participant in a work-release program shot me a look that curled my toes.

Rather than a clean, comfortable room, here's what we got, instead.















Had we not been so dead tired, we would have left right away. I went to bed (in my clothes, thinking that would protect me from the bugs) and my wife took some pics before turning in (also fully dressed).

Needless to say, we checked out as soon as we were conscious again, and moved to a nearby Holiday Inn that was surprisingly nice and affordable. We ended up staying almost a week. We did find a house, and the closing is later this month.

The manager of this dump has repeatedly refused to return my calls and demands for a refund, but he did send me a nice form letter. I just talked to the hotel again today, repeating my demands, and promising to post this story and these pictures everywhere that I can think of.

Fellow Dems - please don't stay at any Comfort Inn! Viva la huelga!
