Comments on: Letter Of The Week: Days Inn’s Denial Isn’t Working – December 1, 2010 http://www.arcataeye.com/2010/12/letter-of-the-week-days-inns-denial-isnt-working-%e2%80%93%c2%a0december-1-2010/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=letter-of-the-week-days-inns-denial-isnt-working-%25e2%2580%2593%25c2%25a0december-1-2010 The mildly objectionable weekly newspaper for Arcata, California Fri, 24 May 2013 23:05:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: rob http://www.arcataeye.com/2010/12/letter-of-the-week-days-inns-denial-isnt-working-%e2%80%93%c2%a0december-1-2010/comment-page-1/#comment-22773 rob Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:57:58 +0000 http://www.arcataeye.com/?p=2046#comment-22773 I’m pretty sure the manager at the time (who lied to my face about my getting my reward points for the room I rented) is one ‘Michael Miller’, who, i assume was working on behalf of the patel family in this instance…what I DO know, is I eventually got HALF of the points from the parent chain as a gesture of goodwill, but it certainly soured me on this particular property.–I noticed an article in the eureka paper’s website referencing a government employee notating mr millers duplicity and rudeness on the phone in (bureacratic) matter concerning this hotel.–as rule, bureucrats dont mention the demeanor of who they are speaking with in official reports, but in his case they did.-I am NOT surprised at all.

and the ‘economy’ claim, is total hoohah,there are at least 3 other hotels in that district that do just fine for themselves.quite simply, the days inn’s lack of hospitality, and rude treatment of guests has EVERYTHING to do with their business practices, and low revenue.NOT the ‘economy’

There are a lot of people named Patel in the hotel business and they are definitely not all using Days Inn’s business standards or lack thereof.

They were my landlords in Arcata when I attended HSU. They are rip-off thieves. They stole my deposit. Don’t ever rent from them! Hotels, houses etc…
