I've stayed at 5-star hotels and I've stayed at 2-star hotels, and this experience topped the icing on a cake.  Many of the hotels I am familiar with such as Red Roof Inns, Quality Inns, Ramada, etc. and many others are own and operated by people from India. I've never stayed at a hotel and was treated like a second rate citizen.  I am female and the males from India do not respect women (even in America) and as you can probably tell where I'm going with this. Imagine my outrage when I questioned my bill.  The young manager was male from India and he thought I was going to "submit" to him.  He was wrong.  I will never stay in another Knights Inn or Travel Inn.  I travel often in the Southeast and have had some pleasant experiences with the owners that were from India, but I was checked in by the women.  Has anyone else out there had any experiences (personal or business) in visiting any establishments that were owned and operated by people from India?  I curious to see because I think there is a growing problem with America involving the way we are treated by the males from India.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Weary Traveler</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 18 Aug 2007 14:43:30 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
