    I made a reservation online for 9/17/23-9/19/23. We then called and spoke with "*******" and informed him that I travel with a task trained service dog. We were told it was no problem and that the reservation was noted. I experienced no problems during check in. After check in I was repeatedly harassed and asked to show that my dog was a service dog (which I complied with). I got into a verbal altercation with a woman at the front desk during the morning of check out when she told me I had to leave because i was walking around with a pet. I explained that he is a task trained medical alert dog. She remarked that "i looked fine." I told her my reservation inspected that I had a service dog. She told me it did not and that she would tell everyone that I was racist if I kept arguing with her. I went back to my room and packed up and left. About 30 minutes later the hotel charged my an additional $270 with no explanation. I called the front desk and was told "that's what I get." And they hung up and would not put me through to the general manager. I have made numerous attempts to resolve this and no one will help me

    Guest made reservation through our Central Res ***** not at the hotel directly.  I can not attest to what she told ******* at the time of reservation.  However, upon review of the camera footage, although the dog was dressed in a "pumpkin costume" (which is the main reason it was in question as we've NEVER seen a true service animal in anything but a vest), the dog was observed to be very well trained & acted like what a true service animal does, instead of the other "service animals" that are clearly NOT a trained professional!  So therefore, the pet fee of $250 has been refunded to the Guest. I will speak with her directly to explain why she was questioned, as per our right, as we are not a pet friendly hotel & our other Guests book this hotel specifically for that reason.
