I used to work front desk at one of the local hotels. It is a typical standing policy. That being said, we do make exceptions. Have a good story and don’t wait for the last minute.

Another one to avoid is Sunshine Animal Hospital. I knew one of their long-standing vets personally and had taken my animals there for several years, and was happy with the treatment they got. But then I discovered my dog's bloodwork had been indicating elevated liver enzymes for *three years* before the vet thought maybe she should tell me. By then my dog was terribly weak and sick. The vet just shrugged. I took my dog elsewhere and they found a large inoperable cancerous tumor. I don't know whether the vet at Sunshine didn't have the equipment and knowledge to think "cancer" when she first saw my dog's bloodwork, or if she just didn't give a damn.

There are many reasons for it from worry about parties being thrown to not wanting to rent to homeless people. If you explain a reason for it, such as you can't stand your mother-in-law and need a break from your house for a night or your water is off due to a pipe that burst then they will usually rent to you.

Most/all vets around won’t do payment plans but will offer Care Credit which is a credit card you apply for. I use Grant Avenue Pet Hospital and they are pretty medium priced, but when I brought in my cat for minor issues and he suddenly died of a genetic defect he’d had since birth, they only charged me for his cremation and xrays. It was very nice. I would not recommend Thomas Rouse at all though. I saw him for my dog once and he was very condescending and rude. Every other vet is absolutely amazing though. When having a dog like a dachshund, I would really recommend pet insurance as they can be prone to back and joint issues. I hope everything works out!

A lot of chains that have a standing policy will make an exception if you talk to a manager and explain your situation. They're afraid of people renting rooms for parties and trashing them. Hotels that offer weekly rates are also often a better bet. Might try extended stay America.

Their prices are not liquidation prices…. There were only 4 Dining table that caught my eye.. but they were still selling for $1200, $1346, $1499 and $1549… the problem is I wouldn’t pay over $800+ for any of those tables.

The salesman kept trying to get me to haggle and engage with him.. and even randomly lowered a price on a table set “based on inventory stock” without me even requesting it

Definitely not coming back.. very sketch
