I pulled into a Super 8 Motel armed with the coupon that said, "With coupon at check in. Based on availability only. Not valid with reservations, other discounts, during holidays or special events. Expires 9/30/04"
I asked the gentleman behind the counter if I could use the coupon and he said no because there was a lobster festival in town this week. He said the price would be 125.00. I really didn't think they had a lobster festival but, I knew they were having one over an hour away in Rockland Maine. Other people in line were staying, thinking they would not get a room anywhere.
I went across the street to the Econo Lodge Motel on Western Ave in Augusta Maine and asked if they took the coupon and they said yes. I asked if they had a Lobster Festival going on in town and they said"no, it was in Rockland"
I went back to my room and called Super 8 and got the man's name PAT and told him he should not lie to people. I told him I would report him to the Super 8 headquarters and to the BBB.
