**** baseball. Headed back to the stadium to freeze tomorrow night too. Maybe I'll end up 20 rows behind home plate again, we'll see.

I contacted a hotel in Duluth to make a reservation as the g family will be staying in Duluth for a couple days due to little g having a procedure scheduled later this spring. I was disheartened after my conversation with the person taking my reservation.

(Due to little g having this procedure the clinic we are using informed us that we can stay at this hotel and get a reduced rate.) I inquired about this rate only to find out that we do not have access to the waterpark. Fine. I asked if we could purchase waterpark passes. We cannot. Reduced rate on the room but no extras and we cannot purchase waterpark passes. Fine I get it. I then inquired about anything else that might be restricted due to the reduced rate. I was informed that we would not be allowed to use the restaurant (which is open to the public). I then inquired about additional options. Could we get a room that comes with waterpark passes and access to the restaurant that I would be willing to pay full price for? I was told no. I responded with "so, because I have a son with a disability my family cannot stay at your establishment and if even if we could get a room we could not use your water park or your restaurant even if we paid full price?" The response I got was "you are correct."

I am sure the lady on the phone got confused and some how misspoke. I asked to speak with a manager. I explained what had just transpired to the manager. The manager really didn't seem to care and offered no solutions or apologies. :mad:

End of rant.

Duh. Mr Slippers.
:( I hate the age of 4. They are old enough to want what they want and young enough that morals and ethics make no influence on how they get it.

Dad (future BIL) confronted me this morning. They don't want escalating punishments - warning, time out, up to room.

Anyway, good morning, Lodge! Hope the dinner with Scarlet went well! Sending the bf out there this morning (his buddy is dropping him at the airport....probably nowish). Have fun!

gmann - I agree that a few hours of quiet muttering to calm yourself down before action is the best way to handle things, but their actions were really abhorrent. Good luck to you (and good luck to little g during the procedure)!

Good morning from a mostly overcast, but not yet rainy, Denver.

The Shots head out on the town this evening for dinner at a favorite Cajun place of ours and then on to a performance of Traces [imagine a slightly shorter version of a Cirque de Soleil event] at DCPA.:)

So one of my good friends who filled out that company profile a week ago just found out she got the job. Here's to hoping I get the same news next week!

Dunno if my Dad has seen me driving around yet today or not, I've passed by his vehicle/the bar he frequents Fri pm's 3 seperate occasions now (he wasn't in the vehicle at the time). I'm guessing he hasn't since I imagine he would text me asking if I was in town, but who knows.

Wow, the Google reviews for that place do not paint a pretty picture. :eek:

I agree. I didn't review the place before I called them. Little g likes adventure so I thought the water park would be a fun place to hang out and I just assumed that it would be a fairly decent place. I am glad that it didn't work out. Things happen for a reason.

As a recap........

I honestly think the comments made by the initial person I spoke to were made in error. I think they got confused and as a result they messed up. Things happen. My issue is how the situation was handled by the manger who made no attempt to make the situation right by apologizing or affirm the company stance on matters of that nature. Furthermore, I submitted a comment through the hotel website yesterday. I did get an email from the hotel in which I was informed somebody would be calling me back (refer to post 784). I also called the corporate company who manages the hotel. I was promised a call back from them before close of business yesterday. I have not heard from them. This organization is despicable.

I am still bummed about the experience not necessarily for me personally but because little g is going to have to deal with this sort of shiat his entire life.
