On the radio this morning was an article about a british soldier who had been on injury leave from Afghanistan, he had tried to book into a hotel in Surrey and once they found out he was a soldier refused him.
He had to sleep in his car and drive back home the next day. Now Coporal Stringer is back on active service in Afghanistan and his local MP is taking up the matter.
Yes, the hotel may have had problems with pissed up squaddies in the past, I would have thought any young blokes on a night out can be rowdy, but to turn a member of the armed forces away is disgraceful.
The hotel is called Metro Hotel in Woking Surrey, until they give an explaination why the soldier was refused a bed then i would urge no one to stay at that hotel.
Update
The Hotel has apologised and blamed a junior receptionist for the incident. Pretty big of them!
