Why Would A Hotel Ban Locals?
Hotels have seen some bizarre behavior from guests, like filling bathtubs with pies. Some hotels say they ban locals to avoid parties and damage. In some states, hotels can deny rooms as long as they don’t discriminate. Before booking, it’s wise to check if the hotel allows locals.
‘As A Front Desk Agent, I Don’t Disagree’
Commenters said locals often leave rooms in disarray. Some said they wish their hotels had the same policy. Others claimed locals cause trouble, like packing luxury hotels for weekend parties. Hotel workers supported the policy, saying they understand the reasoning.
The Man’s Experience
The Cleveland man said he used the Wyndham for short stays while he was between homes. He found out about the policy when he tried to check in. The front desk couldn’t explain why it was in place. He also couldn’t get a refund from the booking site.
Hotel Policy and Guest Behavior
Some hotels say they don’t want to deal with locals who cause issues. The policy is meant to reduce problems, but it also alienates regular customers. The man felt it was unfair, especially since he wasn’t causing any trouble.
