Apparently Staybridge Suites Hates the Disabled and Minorities

#1 I had a reservation – long standing reservation; and had stayed at this hotel approximately 4 times

before. During the last stay, his staff had been abrupt and rude especially when I asked them to replace the cartridge in the ADVERTISED BUSINESS CENTER that has everything.

#2 Called as usual on the way to my medical appointment and Staybridge to confirm my reservation and room number, the same room I had on last visit as I am disabled, and I cannot tolerate heat, certain chemicals. Girl answered the phone when I insisted that she verify that the cartridge had been replaced. On the last visit I had been lied to over and over. Instead the general manager “Charlie Monfee got on the phone and said for me to not show up – he was refusing me services. Please note I had a reservation and I have the printout that shows my reservation number and they had sent that email over and over.

I said “Sir, you can't do that, I am a disabled adult, and that is a hate crime and an ADA violation. He said you can go eat $h!+ as far as I am concerned I just canceled your room and Oh I won't charge you a cancellation fee. At this point he hung up on me. What? You are sending a disabled woman, who is more than 3 hours from home, temporarily medically incapacited with no roof, a diabetic, out into the street? A female? In a town where the hotels are usually booked out months in advance?

So is is implied and I believe that he banned me from this hotel as he didn't want me staying there due my disability, hatred for my person and his false advertising regarding services offered but non-existent upon check-in to their facilities. I believe their intent is to take your money and then call the police when you complain as you will see in another similar situation outlined below. That my friends is both a hate crime and fraud.

So the general manager, Charlie Monfee at the Staybridge Suites forced me in a situation where I

was less than substandard for my medical condition; and was also abusive and threatening. This he did with malice aforethought to a:

Disabled Adult

Diabetic

Still receiving post-op care – can't lift luggage etc easily

Can't tolerate heat – it was a 95 degree day

Putting my myself and my medical supplies at risk

Was so distraught could not eat for 2 days;

It should be noted that I was so terrorized by this treatment I went without food and proper shelter for 2 days to meet my commitment for a long standing medical appointment getting ready for a procedure.

So this prompted me to look for other complaints upon my arrival home. I found them on numerous complaint boards. No surprise. One example I found, and I did print out was that of a young black father who had checked into a Staybridge Suites in Savannah, GA. The GM said he was partying, etc and called the police. The real story is that this young man had a 1 yr old that was crying, and when the police came, he was kicked out, they kept his money (probably not financially easy on a young father) and when the police came, the young man overheard the GM, tell the police to get that “N” out of here. Here is a clip from that internet posting from the young father at another Staybridge Suites: start quote [”my room I overheard the GM say "Make sure you call the Police and get that N out of here." The police came and we left. But before leaving we got a print out of what we owed and the deputy’s confirmation from the Manager that the room was fine.”]end quote

Both of these incidents happened at Staybridge Suites in two different cities, run by two different general managers, which tells me that the instructions, discrimination and policy is coming from the top, from headquarters. I am left with the conclusion that Staybridge Suites hates the disabled and minorities.

Please note it is also my opinion that the police officer in the other situation violated this young father's civil rights, and are complicatory with a hate crime. Yet the still charged his credit card? I believe their intent is to rent to us, hit our credit card, with premeditation to kick us out before we even arrive.

It is my opinion that his chain and hotel is engaging in the practice of violating civil rights, ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), fair housing laws, false advertising and theft by taking, and financial fraud on the Disabled.

So my advice is, if you are disabled or a minority, do not come to Columbus, Georgia unless you hate yourself, expect to be hated, have personnel blow cigarette smoke in your face in defiance of state law

O.C.G.A. 31-12A 4 – the entire chapter deals with No Smoking in Public Places.

Note; I believe this “REFUSING ME SERVICE” has more than one intent behind it.

On the first visit with my spouse we had detected a strong natural gas odor in the hallway outside our door. It was so strong that anything electronic could potentially ignite and blow the place up. I had just identified this odor as a young military couple was about to get on the elevator and begged them to not push the button. The sgt said “OH that smell is always here”. Upon notifying the front desk they said, of we have called out ? And they assure us it is okay. We did not feel comfortable with that answer and did our own investigation which revealed a small gas leak coming out of the dryer area. We had also noted they only seemed to do most of the laundry at night – that is an anomaly for a supposed safe hotel.

Violation of ADA & Fair Housing is 10 yrs in JAIL and $100K Fine

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, May 27, 2015

I suppose Robert is ignorant of the Fair Housing Laws with regard to Disabled Adults and young families being a protected class.  And since the young father was a minority, black, he is in another protected class, as well as myself.   So now we have oh 30 years in jail so far - read on.

I suppose that Robert can share a jail cell with Charlie if convicted, as it is 10 years in jail and a $100,000 fine per incident per person for violation of the Fair Housing Laws.

NOW for the public, most likely Robert works for corporate of IHG the Holding Company for Staybridge and is not a regular consumer, although pretending to be a regular ignorant one.

You see corporate giants ride these websites trying to discredit truthful and harmed consumers.  Robert it is a crime to harass a Disabled Adult.  You can add that to the list now..  That is a hate crime.   Where do you live?  So I can notify the FBI of your hate crime?

Not having toner when you advertise a FULL business center 24 hours a day is also false advertising.  I would have to look at the FTC website to see the punishment for that. 

Apparently Robert travels around with his printer, my he must get a lot of strange looks.  I wonder how he got past security checkpoints with something like that?

Drop the Disabled/Race Card

Based on this report you are one big **S.  Perhaps the reason they told you not to show back up was because of this statement you made...

#2 Called as usual on the way to my medical appointment and Staybridge to confirm my reservation and room number, the same room I had on last visit as I am disabled, and I cannot tolerate heat, certain chemicals. Girl answered the phone when I insisted that she verify that the cartridge had been replaced.

If you haven't figured out what you said, I underlined the specifc line.

It is my opinion that his chain and hotel is engaging in the practice of violating civil rights, ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), fair housing laws, false advertising and theft by taking, and financial fraud on the Disabled.

A hotel/motel has the right to refuse rooms to anyone.  The ADA does not require them to allow a person to rent a room regardless of how rude they are.  Your own resarch shows other complaints by non-disabled people so they treated  you exactly the same.  Oh and in case you were unaware a "father" is not a protected class.

As for financial fraud and theft....they didn't charge you for the room or a cancellation fee.  So they made exactly $0 off of you.  For theft and fraud you need more than that.
