Econo Lodge Sucks…

We're in Vernal right now, spending time with Chey's parents and family while Chey's dad does his 2nd annual Dino-Tri, a decent-sized triathlon. A few months ago, when Chey decided that we were going to this thing, she did some research and discovered that the only decent motel in Vernal that allowed pets was an Econo Lodge. So, she reserved a room, and we got here yesterday. The guy at the front desk was Indian, and he gave us "the best room in the hotel". On our reservation, it clearly stated that we had dogs, and he never bothered to ask while checking us in. I was alright with the situation up until the guy calls me on the phone about 3 hours after we check in, at like 10 pm, trying to chew me out because I, supposedly, lied to him and did not tell him that I had a dog. First of all, he didn't ask us at check-in if we had a dog. Second, IT WAS ON OUR RESERVATION PAPER!!! He didn't even look at it. And thirdly, we're not insane crazy dog people that have them chew on everything, poop on everything, or sleep (and drool) on our beds. That's not how we roll. They have been in their kennels for almost the entire time that we have been here. Whatever. I guess I'm just tired of people's laziness and incompetence, and he just happened to be my last straw.
