I think you are right if I had mentioned at check out the charge probably would have been removed, not sure if my being a gold member member would mean anything.
I have sent the GM a 3rd email this morning asking for an explanation, I think this may be on of those hotels who thinks that "we the customer should be grateful" they let us stay there.
I also put in an on-line complaint with Choice Hotels this morning. What really gets me is how deceitful the business practice of this particular hotel was, I am willing to persue my $2.00 in small claims court, I think they need to made an example of.
Now I know things could have been so much worse than a $2 hotel charge but us road warriors have look out for each other
