Comfort Inn And Suites, Medicine Hat

Although the Hotel is nice, I was very unimpressed with how they handled me bringing my dog. There are no visible signs stating "No Pets", nor did the front desk verbally state that pets are not allowed. Apparently I did sign a written waiver, but I did not read the fine print stating that pets are not allowed. Upon discovery of my transgression, I was confronted in my hotel room by two staff who requested I leave the hotel immediately. I refused, it being 10:30 PM!!! Subsequently, I was fined $150, which, despite my objections, was charged to my credit card. So, I spoke to the manager Brad. He stated that I was told upon check-in, it being POLICY, that Pets are not allowed. I was NOT told this, but he was unwaivering, despite my firm stand that I would never return. Apparently, if he were to let me go then EVERYONE would expect such leniency (his words - was he a principal in a former life, or just really uptight)! Hmmm... how would they know??? Well, now everyone will know they handle people who don't follow the RULES! Be warned - follow the rules or you will be fined! There are a lot of other really nice hotels in Medicine Hat, it being along the Trans Canada, and this is the only one in town, to my knowledge, that doesn't allow pets.
