Hotels.com needs to alert travelers when "locals" are not allowed to stay at specific hotels. I live within two hours of this hotel and am considered a "local". My flight landed after midnight and after traveling all day, I knew it wouldn't be safe to drive home. That's why I reserved a room. The hotel had to wake up a manager at 1:30 a.m. to ask if I could stay because I'm considered "local" and we aren't allowed to stay at this hotel. By the time I got settled into my room and then, left in time for check out, I'd spent a pretty penny for a 6 hour nap. Another on- line Booking site alerts locals about hotels that don't take their business, so Hotels.com needs to do the same . I am aware of the situation in my area, but it's not something I need to deal with coming off of a late night flight. What I saw of the hotel was nice and the bed was comfortable, but due to geography, I can't say that I will ever stay here again.
