From her videos you can see she is an upbeat, funny, kind, understanding person but one you can't push around.

What happened to her was terrifying, and any woman who travels alone can understand why she breaks down when telling her story. I hope she sues. This hotel must be part of the Bates Motel chain.

Longish but worth watching as she gives details of what happened.

I usually disagree with you, but the bolded is funny.

She said she did not bang on anyone's door - unless this hotel produces a video to prove that she did, there is no reason to doubt her narrative.

Surely this hotel has security cameras, right ? I understand it is far from a luxury place, but come on.
Do you think the people who complained are all Trump disliking liars ?

It's a hotel and a big problem if they have non-functioning hall security cameras. Imagine if there had been a violent crime against a guest - oops sorry no security footage.
The validity of any complaints would be a different issue, but she would have no way of knowing for sure if any complaints were registered. She wasn’t sitting at the front desk nor answering their phone.

They have to explain why, and if they accuse her of a certain behavior, show some proof.

This is just basic common sense.
They only ‘have to’ if a law requires it.

None of this story passes the sniff test. There is no reason for a hotel to kick out a guest who is doing absolutely nothing. Hotel business isnt that good right now for them to do that. Im sure we'll never get the whole story...or maybe we will, if the hotel can come up with some proof.

But no, I dont believe a word of what she's saying.

Yeah, I was simply responding to the people up-thread who said "There must be video evidence!".

Can you recap? I saw something in the comments about the sheriff having to be called.
Simple. People put on a maga hat, or mask, and then do or say something stupid and/or offensive and then play the victim when they told to beat it. The mind of a Trump apologist is a mysterious place.

She might have just put the bolt on the door, so a lack of swipes wouldn't necessarily prove anything.

Are people expecting this hotel to release footage publicly to dispute this woman's claims? Why? Then you have anyone else captured in video having their pictures all over the media too.

She brought the accusations.
Of course not. She rented a room. She paid them money to have the right to use the room. So, legally speaking they had no right to kick her out like that.

Have you seen any evidence that other guests complained against this person? I haven't.
