Scottish Inns

Yep. Exactly what you pay for. Two burn holes in the sheets of the bed in my non-​smoking room. A mattress older than me and completely sunk in. Heat that hardly works in the winter, freezing room. No coffee maker in the room, one site said there was one. Busted hair dryer plug, electrocution waiting to happen. A random thermostat and heater in the bathroom that did nothing. And apparently somebody locked them self in the bathroom and somebody wanted to get in!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m probably one of few people who have no problem spending as little money as possible for a night or two in a cheap motel (as long as it’s clean). So when I headed over to Scottish Inns for the weekend with my fiancée and 5 month old son, I wasn’t expecting 4 star service. But I was NOT expecting, what I consider, my worst experience EVER at a motel.
The owner is one of the rudest people I’ve ever encountered. This man charged us for 2 nights stay of $ 160 (even though we were quoted less over the phone). He claimed he had to increase our charge because the place was booked and there were only 2 rooms left. We get to the motel, and aside from one other couple, the entire place is vacant. After only being in the motel room for about 10 minutes, we ask for a refund as Hurricane Irene was headed that way, and we wanted to relocate North. Keep in mind, the room hasn’t been touched. The owner refuses the refund. In fact, he was so upset that we’d even dare ask for a refund, that he demanded I return my room key, kicked me off the premises, refused to give me his name, and STILL didn’t give me my money back! I wanted to call the police, but had to be in upstate New York a few hours later. What a scam artist! I was charged for a room where my key was confiscated, that I wasn’t even allowed to stay in, simply because I asked if I could get a refund! The owner just kept insisting «if you want a refund, call your credit card company!» What a jerk, and as I said, worst motel experience I’ve ever had! This man doesn’t deserve anyone’s business!
