Thread: Stratton Motel

    You act as if it was her responsibility to email you, return your package, and talk to you on the phone until you were done talking. It would be nice if she done these things, but it is not her job. You did what? Pay for a night sleeping there? Get real. You bad mouthed the lady and her business because she didn't do you a favor quick enough to satisfy you. Get real, how did you become so entitled?

    He wasn't bad mouthing her business. He was simply asking if anything like that has ever happend to anyone else at that motel. I would have been concerned too.

    Glad it worked out too. I've got a pair of boots and a big jar of Nutella sitting in Monson that I can't get any action on - very similar to this situation in some ways..

    It's an old pair of boots... what I really want is the jar of Nutella.
    where exactly is this jar? i'm in monson like every other weekend these days....

    course if it's been sitting at lakeshore.....ew

    Yep, if it's still there it's on the stairs at Lakeshore House as you go up to the rooms.

    Priority mail box, name "Tom Bradford" on the box. You can write "refused" on the box and drop it off at the post office.

    It would be really cool if you'd check on it - I've got a pair of Inov 8 boots that are still pretty good in that box. You can have the nutella - but if you open the box you have to pay postage again.

Sue in Stratton, has been an example of integrity and grace for many years. . . you're just a little bitch who got a hangnail on the trail and wants to whine to everyone about it. . . .

    WOW!

    If I wanted to wine I could have, and could have made accusations. I just read through my posts a few times looking for where I could have sugar coated things a little more. But in the end, that's all it would have been...a sugar coating.

    Thanks for your insight though

    He could have posted : Stratton Motel stole my trekking poles

    I don't have a dog in this fight but this is the internet so........

    I think you handled it very well myself. At no time did I feel like you were saying anything negative about Sue the person. Sounds like you just wanted to know if your poles were there or not and personally, I don't think that's asking a lot.

    I stayed at the Stratton Motel in July of this year. I had a very pleasant experience. Sue is a very good innkeeper.

    You should not have packages sent via UPS to locations that you won't be at to collect them. This was your problem. Not Sue's problem. Plain and simple.

    You could have avoided this situation by being at the Stratton Motel when your poles arrived.

    Only issue was a drunken wind turbine worker bursting in our room rambling about how we owe him a pizza.
