On April 21, 2011 my wife and I began the check in process at Travelodge La Mesa

Confirmation # 57038966.
 
We had been on the road from Stockton, CA to San Diego for 7 plus hours and unloading all of are daughter belongings for about 3 hours. Needless to say we were tried, sweaty, a little dirty, and dressed in are work clothes. We still had the U haul we used for the move and parked it in the Travelodge parking area. As we approached the check-in counter we were not greeted in a friendly manner. The man simply stated what do you want.
My wife Jessica Duran stated we were here to check-in. The man asked for I.D. and a credit card. Jessica asked him why he needed a credit card. He did not answer. She asked again stating our daughter had already paid through price-line, and he mumbled something about thats between you and price-line. She asked again and still no answer. I then asked him in a stern voice what do you need this card for? He stepped back, looked at me and steered for a few seconds. He then yelled out, no one raises their voice to me especially white trash, get out now, get out or I will call the policy. He then ran around to counter in a very confronting behavior. I said f you we are leaving you crazy a.. hole. He continued yelling obscenities at us even as we were trying to leave. At no time did we ever resist he just went crazy. He even followed us out to the parking lot were I said we are leaving give it a rest. He then called me white trash again and follow us to the U haul where he blocked our exit. I told him we had no choice but call the police because he was not allowing us to act on his request that we leave. We wanted to go and leave this crazy man behind. He quickly moved and we left.
We are including many links to several web sites so anyone who reads this will understand, we are not making this up. In fact this behavior is common place at this Travelodge and with Oscar Calcie, and Anal Shah.
Beware and use sites like this before booking!!!!

As a result of all this price-line is refusing to refund. So after reading all the complains I can find, it is quit obvious to me that this is a legal rip-off. I also see a distinct pattern of behavior. The management clearly discriminates the customer. If you are the right race you get to stay. If not you will be monitored until you do something wrong and then you will be threaten as we were and as others were, and then thrown out. The white trash comment will be given to a lawyer to see if we were victims of a hate crime. We are going to the police to see if a hate crime has been committed also.
 
We are asking anyone that has been victimized by this travelodge to contact us. We believe the individuals at this establishment our races and bigots.
 
We believe this is important. Anyone can run their business as they want. They cannot however discriminate.

When you use a 3rd party reservation, you have to prepay and it's hard to get your money back. It creates the same problems as a debit card. When you prepay, you're paying before you know if you're satisfied with the the room or if you have to cancel the reservation. Clearly, you had no reason for raising your voice, but their actions were inexcuseble. Did the police come? He certainly broke the law by not letting you leave and harassing you. You should've filed a criminal complaint.
