Hold out for some brownies from the mini bar and some shower caps

seems fair.

I would just move on. Going above the hotel comp and medical bills

I tend to agree. I think from her perspective we had 4 rooms that were booked

What else are you looking for? I mean it was a $75/night motel room. Not sure

I mean, I wasn't expecting the Hilton. But I was at least expecting a clean room

Yes it’s fair.

I think it’s fair. I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect more unless

The family obviously didn’t think it was risk even though they knew it was damaged. They still chose to use the shower.

Or, they didn’t notice until the injury happened, which puts them in the same

I’m probably reading too much into it. Them “insisting that it was already there” doesn’t necessarily mean they knew

Busting Coveys

6/26/23 5:14pm

Never mind. They knew.

Busting Coveys

6/26/23 5:15pm

I think they jumped at paying what they did because they know it could be much more. With that said, things happen, they

Could you imagine if he had sliced an artery or some other sort of major injury?

Or you and your son got lucky it wasn't worse.

Chester Copperpot

But he didn’t and it wasn’t. Had it been they would have covered it.

You asked if you should 'push for more'..

I think the hotel is being fair. The broken soap holder was a risk. But I would

Problem is the hotel was full. My cousin stayed in a room that literally had

Yikes! What hotel was this??????

Did you guys see these people there?

Sometimes being a good man is stopping the woman who bears your last name from going and Karen-ing with it

Take the money and run.

Call Saul Goodman. He'll get what's coming to you.

Seems fair. Have mercy on them. Yeah the situation for your son is unfortunate

Seems fair to me.

Let it go. Life is going yo have stuff like this.

It's sufficient, unless there was a serious injury. I think you won't get more, and you'll waste your time pushing

Right. I don't expect any complications, but I do expect them to pay any

Was the hotel part of a major chain?

mobicurious

It is actually an independently owned hotel.

Unless you’d never stay there again, ask for 3 free nights

Mtbcoug

I think this is a fair ask. "We appreciate your efforts at compensating us for the injury that soured our weekend.

Why would you ever want to stay in a cheap crappy hotel again 🤷‍♂️
