That's completely unacceptable, but I don't know what else to do, as most everything else is booked up in town for some bullshit german singing fest. ugh.
Might be worth filing a complaint with the BBB. Assuming you've gone up the chain at the hotel as far as you can.

So sick of the neighbors letting their dog ish in our yard and not picking up after him. In going through the city ordinances, it a misdemeanor vandalism charge. I think I'll call them if it happens again. Might be difficult for a city employed social worker to explain that one!!!

Called Animal Control and left a message. Also sent a message via LinkedIn to the Chief of Police.

Been trying to find a couple parts for the S. One is a saner/comptech/gendron front sway bar. Search search and search and find that a site vendor (moddiction) sells a front bar thats exact dimensions as the saner. Cool, I can get one there. Go on their site and....... out of stock. They make them based on pre orders. Well that sucks.

Now im looking for alternatives for factory rear hardtop latches. Search search search and wow, moddiction makes these! Cool, I go on their site to buy and.......out of stock. They make them based on preorders.

WTF man! Sell shit you actually have!
