Refused a room in sub freezing weather
I was in Ronan over the holidays to meet my soon to be in laws. There was trouble at a Christmas get together and I found myself needing a motel room for the rest of the visit. The starlight is the only motel in Ronan Mt. I talked to the owner who immediately accused me of drug use because of the late hour. I'ma 44 year old grandmother. I AM NOT NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN A DRUG USER! As a female alone after having walked from my son's home, I clearly posed no threat. I had plenty of picture ID, two credit cards, and debit to pay for the room. Although I explained my situation to this so called man he turned me away in sub freezing weather, refused to let me use the phone to call a cab, or 911 (as I was not dressed for the weather but for a Christmas party) so I ended up begging him to call the police on me. Luckily, an officer found me right away and took me to a gas station that was open in town and helped me find a cab in the middle of the night who drove me 10 miles to the next town so I could finally get in from the cold. This was on Christmas night. Heartless, cruel, I hope no person ever has to experience an episode like this at the Starlite Motel. Please don't ever go there.
