If
you
want
a
healthy
dose
of
small-town
racism
and
prejudice,
by
all
means,
stay
here.
I
booked
two
nights
for
two
adults
at
this
hotel
through
Priceline
and
checked-in
alone,
without
issue.
I
—
a
white
male
—
was
in
town
to
keep
my
partner
—
a
younger
black
female
—
company
while
she
worked
a
remote,
short-term
gig
there,
and
I’d
work
remotely
during
the
business
day.
After
work,
we’d
grab
dinner
and
drinks
out
and
then
hang
out
at
the
hotel,
getting
to
sleep
relatively
early
since
she
started
work
early
each
morning.
We
were
quiet,
kept
to
ourselves
and
caused
zero
issues.
We
decided
I
should
stay
an
extra
night,
so
I
extended
our
stay
through
Priceline.
That
morning,
I
went
to
the
front
desk
to
see
if
we
could
stay
in
the
same
room
and
was
told
our
room
was
taken
and
we
would
have
to
change
rooms.
But
then,
the
man
at
the
front
desk
said
he
had
a
question
for
me
and
asked,
“Who
is
that
young
woman
staying
with
you?”
I
was
taken
aback
but
answered,
“That’s
my
girlfriend.
She’s
in
town
working
this
week
and
I’m
visiting
her.”
He
said,
“Well,
girlfriend
or
not,
we
think
something
fishy
is
going
on
and
are
choosing
to
refuse
you
service.
I’m
canceling
your
reservation
and
you
can
take
up
the
refund
with
Priceline.”
At
this
point,
I’m
shocked.
I
said,
“Okay,
then,”
and
went
to
the
room
and
quickly
packed
our
things
up
and
took
them
to
the
car
before
returning
to
the
front
desk
with
the
key
card.
While
there
I
said
to
the
same
man,
“I’d
like
to
understand
exactly
what
you’re
referring
to
when
you
say
‘something
fishy’
is
going
on?“
He
completely
sidestepped
the
question,
tried
to
blame
the
decision
on
a
night
auditor,
then
told
me
the
whole
family
decided
to
refuse
us
business
and
as
a
family
business,
they
could
refuse
anyone
they
wanted.
I
left.
A
little
later,
I
called
Priceline
for
a
refund,
and
while
on
the
phone
they
said
they
had
to
call
the
hotel
and
verify
what
had
happened.
They
owned
up
to
nothing
and
claimed
instead
that
I
had
canceled
the
reservation.
I
don’t
usually
post
reviews,
but
what
happened
here
cannot
go
unmentioned.
Avoid
giving
any
business
to
this
family
and
do
yourself
a
favor
and
book
a
nicer
hotel.
