• Susan Leger and her granddaughter had to walk in their pajamas to a new hotel
• They were kicked out of the Baymont Inn in Helen, Georgia for leaving a bad review on booking site Hotels.com after checking in
• Leger said in her write-up that the hotel was run-down, and that its toilet didn't flush properly  
• Manager Danny Vyas told a 911 dispatcher that he wanted her out because, 'I know that you didn't like the room and you have reviewed us'
• The booking website only refunded Leger after questions from reporters 

A grandmother says she was kicked out of a Georgia hotel by police in the middle of the night after she left a bad review online, forcing her and her six year-old granddaughter to walk to an nearby hotel in their pajamas.

Susan Leger, 63, was on the first of her three-night stay at the Baymont Inn & Suites in the mountain town of Helen, Georgia in September when she got a call from the hotel manager telling her she had to leave.

It came shortly after booking site Hotels.com asked her to leave a review post-check-in. Leger did, branding the property 'run down'. She also complained that her room's toilet did not flush properly and that the pool was closed.  

'My granddaughter's like clinging to my leg and crying so hard. This was scary. This was just horrifying,' Leger told WXIA.

Police then showed up to remove her and her 6-year-old grandchild, writing in a report that management wanted her out because she 'had given the hotel a bad review.'

Three out of five stars is average, not bad.

Kicked out in middle of night after a review.

One must ask what activities occurred between those two events.

[Enlightened1]

The hotel manager should be fired for calling the police on a review he did not like.

Unfrikkenbelievable that the police would do this, at least we know what cops will volunteer to run the concentration camps.

[mware]

Real good PR there, and right before the holidays.

[Enlightened1]

She probably refused to leave so he called the cops.

[Enlightened1]

They must not have enough to do.

Vyas. I doubt Danny is his given name

[Mr. Jeeves]

Without going into details (case is still open) I left a well-deserved two star review for a company once and an employee subsequently made felonious threat against my family in an attempt to take revenge. Fortunately for him, he remains anonymous and the police have not found enough evidence in the years that have passed to charge him.

You have to be a Leftist, I guess, to speak freely online.

Shouda waited until after checkout. It is what it is.

[circlecity]

Lesson: wait until you’ve checked out to leave a review.

[napscoordinator]

Still pretty stupid to do when your still on the property. Couldn’t wait until after checkout?

[uranium penguin]

The Police had solved ALL crime in the town and had the resources and man power available for this?

if that is the case then all of the “Hello 911? I just went through the drive through and my fries are cold. Send police!”

Need to be taken seriously.

[eyeamok]

I wonder how this will affect the reviews

[napscoordinator]

I’m sure there is a lot missing from the story.

[Angelino97]

Has this reporter gotten both sides of the story, AND investigated each side? Or is this reporter simply transcribing the claims of the hotel guests?

[BobL]

We’re getting played by the media, yet again.

[beaware]

Lesson: wait until you’ve checked out to leave a review.

And drop a star while youare at it...
