Sorry to hear of the issues you two had on your trip, but why did Becky have the hoof it as well?  Why not fetch the chariot and pick her up/drop her off?

Because she's the one that was sober enough to remember where they parked the night before.   :smt005

I offered, she wanted to walk. Would have been easier to have her wait with the bags in the parking lot next to the lodge.

Now THAT's friggin' FUNNY!!  :smt044 :smt044
In all reality I toned it down because I was driving. I'm sure the bill for the lodge would have been a lot more because we would have been walking, not driving.

I have put it where I can, but I don't do FB.
Feel free to post it for me...anyone...Bueller?

They posted a response to both YouTube and Yelp, copy and pasted one from the other. I wish I knew how to respond to a comment on Yelp because I'd do the same copy and paste from my comment on YouTube.
I still laugh at the business model thought process that went into their decision.
Let's see, we could forfeit the $20 and give him somewhere closer to stay which would have resulted in an extra $400+ in their pockets...but wait, here's an idea, let's make him park far away and try to squeeze $20 out of him, knowing it will piss him off..  no, wait wait...let's give him free parking and make him park even farther away...that way we'll get ZERO extra dollars out of him.
It even makes me laugh.

How much you wanna bet assholes with rv's ran their generators all night resulting in a never again decree by management.  Big dummies should have bent the rules for you given the situation.
