Grandma kicked out of hotel after leaving ‘bad review’

HELEN, Ga. (WXIA) - A Georgia grandmother and her 6-year-old granddaughter were kicked out of their hotel room in the middle of the night after providing a three-star review, out of five, of the business.

Susan Leger, 63, and her 6-year-old granddaughter were ready for bed on the first night of what was supposed to be a three-night stay in September at the Baymont Inn & Suites in the resort town of Helen, Georgia.

At 8:40 p.m., her cell phone rang. It was the hotel manager, Danny Vyas, saying he had called police and they had to leave the room.

“The man is screaming at me. He was saying, ‘You get out now. I call the police,’” Leger said. “My granddaughter’s like clinging to my leg and crying so hard. This was scary. This was just horrifying.”

Vyas called 911 after Leger responded to an email from Hotels.com asking how she was enjoying her room. The grandmother gave the hotel three stars out of five and listed some complaints, writing, “Rundown. Pool’s not open. Toilet doesn’t flush well.”

During the 911 call, Vyas can be heard telling the dispatcher, “We are getting ready to refund because they have reviewed that the room is dirty and the place is rundown.”

“He was basically saying, ‘You get out… You lie. You gave me bad review.’ And I’m just sitting there going, ‘Oh my gosh, is this a prank call?’” Leger said.

But Leger soon received a knock on her door from an officer with the Helen Police Department. He told her she and her granddaughter had to leave.

“‘They can truly kick me out for giving a review of three out of five?’ And he says, ‘Yes, ma’am. It’s within the law,’” Leger said.

Always give a review AFTER you leave.

Can you revise it to a 1 star? I would do that and cite they have a psycho manager.

The common term for this is “Patel Motel”

If you don’t want me to give a real answer, don’t ask me that real question! I’m not fully sure what happened.
The Manager says she called the office to complain over 10 times about the room.
The hotel has plenty of publicity now.

Weird.

Leave reviews after you’re done with whatever, hotel stay, uber drive, whatever. So they cant revenge retaliate on you in the moment.

There is SO MUCH missing from this story, entirely composed to stoke outrage amongst people.
I have little sympathy for those who move here, become “Americans” and hold on to their old values, but something doesn’t smell right here.

During a September phone call, Vyas said the problem was that Leger never reported the problems to him or his staff. Two months later, he says the problem was actually that Leger called with complaints multiple times.

When the story changes someone is lying.

Guess who in this case.

I’ve always rated the Baymount Inn right up there with Motel-6.

How is it that all of our hotels/motels ended up being run or owned by indians? We have 5 motels in my dink town; motel 6, baymont, Super 8, American Inn and can’t remember the other. Anyway, none are American owned. And I hear that indians are crappy employers. They may all be American citizens but they are not American. I don’t get how they came to dominate the motels and hotels in our country.
