Our Stay on the Lake

Barton's appears to have violated their contractual obligations to you,

Talk to a lawyer.

Yep, talk to a lawyer, Seems thats the answer to everything today... And we wonder why the country is going down the tubes???

last year my cousin and I were riding our mountain bikes around the area. We decided and yes you could consider it tresspasing not denying that, ride through their parking lot to take a look around, but we did not loiter or anything and were maybe on the parking lot for about 2 minutes max. We were stop by a very run down loooking person and asked if we were staying there. WE said no we were just looking around, and with a very sturn voice he told us to get out of there and don't come back

no problem we were never going anywhere near that place

Was that a tall gangly guy? Can you say Norman? If so,that is the owner. I've stayed there a few times and realized that it is what it is, an old dated motel. It served its purpose but it sounds like you got the same feeling I did which was not very warm and fuzzy.

The main thing...Congratulations on your wedding.

Having been involved with my fair share of business disputes about product/services provided, it comes down to a few things...

Is it worth your time and stress?
Is it worth the money to hire an attorney?
Can the accused afford to pay?

Where the services expected written down in black and white on their site or in a brochure or to you? Can you get them to verbally agree that offered the services and then backed out?

If they didnt offer it in writing then it may be a he said, she said.

I wish you luck.

Yes the main thing is congrats... Didn't/ don't plan to persue this at all.... Just had a hard time understanding that in todays economy, when you bring in 3k in business, they didn't try a little harder..... The other area establishments went out of their way to provide great service.

Does the Barton family still own the motel? I don't remember a Norman as owner. Perhaps the father, Mr.Barton has passed on and a son took over but his name was nor Norman.

My several stays there in times past were always the best and Mr.Barton was great as was the family. Haven't been in a while now.

Congrats to Coronado and all.

I think the "Can you say Norman?" was a reference to the Hitchcock Classic with Norman Bates who was the manager at the Bates Motel.

Right you are RG. Thought I made that pretty clear with the title of my post "We call it the Bates Motel".

For some reason I felt the need to look around for peep holes.
