Comfort Suites is price gouging displaced hurricane victims

[PA Democrat]

They advertise their rates at I believe $79 per night. A black family tried to check in and was told it was $199 per night. MSNBC interviewed the manager of that Comfort Suites and she said "I'm just trying to protect my property and keep rowdy people out."

Wow, nice racial slur. I didn't catch where this Comfort Suites was. Did anyone else see the report?

1. What state is this in?

Have those people contact the State Attorney General's Office. Here in TX, our AG has said he will deal harshly with gougers.

4. I didn't catch the state, but they did say the AG was investigating

The family did find a hotel room right across the street for $74 a night.

2. I saw that too

I didn't catch what state it was in.

The manager was saying they were advertising $199 rooms but charging $99 if the people took the room.

Yeah, barely veiled racism.

7. I hope Comfort Suites HQ is watching

Nothing like some free negative publicity from pin-head owners to make corporate HQs stand up and take notice.

...and let them know just how much business they will lose over this!!!!!!!
