[nagdu] access refused at Inn

[Cindy Ray]

There is something about the owner living on the property and how many occupants it houses? I can't remember.

John, they cannot refuse service.  You can choose to make it an issue and have them call the police to settle it.  If you have an iPhone you can get the NAGDU app and show them the law for that state or you can do what you did and find another place to stay.  We face that on a regular basis.  Many times people from other countries may not be familiar with our laws so we need to educate them.
