I suppose stranger things have happened, but the chances that a FT member knows the hotel eviction laws of Addison, TX are pretty low. No clue if it's in there, but you could check Addison's city ordinances:

1. Did that manager switch to the rack rate? The hotel was not full. It's just they had no suites left. I suspect the guest not leaving would indicate they probably that was not done. But probably my rate was lower than that guest's.
I can't imagine any hotel manager is going to tell you any information that would answer that question. I certainly wouldn't have discussed that back when I worked in hotels.

Thankfully, most people in our society aren't complete jerks. So, it's not really a situation that happens frequently. I think it might have happened twice in the 11 years I was in hotel operations.
