With my job, I stay in a lot of hotels. But until I stayed at a @YotelHQ in DC, I've never had to file a complaint with a Consumer Protection Division. I was charged over $100 more than expected in hidden fees and taxes and they refuse to reverse the charges.

So, as someone who travels for a living and writes about accommodations and experiences, this is the first time I've ever been compelled to warn folks to avoid a chain for ripping me off.

Replying to @YotelHQ
My reservation confirmation clearly states that all fees and taxes have been paid. The clerk repeated that. But they charged me a "facility fee" for every day and then taxed that too. Speaking to a representative, they refuse to issue a refund no matter what.

One of the things I hated most was when I sent a pitch & it went into the electronic void. Was it a good pitch but the wrong time? Completely suck? How could I know? I got over 200 pitches (& expected 30) from my call-out, but I can now say I've answered every single one. ๐Ÿฅณ

Thanks for so many wonderful pitches everyone. Iโ€™ve been inundated with so many choices and mostly from women!!๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ Iโ€™m going to hold off on accepting any more. The ones I wonโ€™t use, Iโ€™m passing along to the editors of our sister sites tho because 99% are fantastic.

Also, if youโ€™re an editor for a travel or LGBTQ website, Iโ€™d be happy to pass the extras on to you too. Spread the love and pay the writers.

Did @kennychesney come out? Serious question. I thought he did but now canโ€™t find anything about it. Did I imagine it?

I grew up being taught about the dignity of every human being. It shouldnโ€™t take more than that to stand up and protect LGBTQ rights. Thanks to @bilerico for this thoughtful conversation.

So, let me get this straight: yesterday the Supreme Court ruled colleges CANโ€™T discriminate on the basis of race but today they ruled that a web designer CAN discriminate against the LGBTQ community? Sorry, but this Court is so freaking messed up.

liberalism has a habit of telling itself that when we solve a problem, its settled forever and the right wont bother to reopen that pandora's box. meanwhile the right is 24/7 focused on exploding pandora's box because they dont give a fuck.
