Hotel Deals 5 Comments »Adriano G asked:
this occured in Houston, Tx. my boyfriend and i needed a room for the night, we passed by a place, looked clean, so we stopped in and got a room. my BF went in and handled the deal while i waited in the car, he did tell the clerk that the room was for two people. we werent in the room for 5 minutes when that asshole banged on the door and said “room for man and wife only” and said one of us had to leave. he then offered us a room with 2 beds for $10 more. i demanded our money back and eventually got it. this reeks of discrimination to me. i later find out that this place rents rooms by the hour also, so obviously they have no problem with “man and whore” or a drug user renting a room, but when 2 guys want a room its for “man and wife” only. would we have any legal recourse against these people?
