Marriot Hotel refuses family fleeing hurricane...because they have pets.

[Catherine]

The Columbia Marriot Hotel refused a family of five a room because they also had two dogs and a cat.
Considering that the family was fleeing a destructive storm, surely the hotel could have bent the rules.

The family was very upset and posted an angry Facebook page that went viral. In response the Hotel chain has apologized and changed its no pets policy.
It pays to complain. Now all pet owners can benefit.
