It all started out great! My wife & I arrived alittle earlier in the afternoon so we decided to wait in the lobby by the fireplace for two of my brothers and their wives. They arrived around 4ish. We decided to have one cocktail as our dinner reservation wasn't until 5:45pm (Ropke's, Fantastic). We relaxed, shared a few stories then left for dinner. The manager (Joe) told us the pool and lobby is open until 10PM. While eating, we all duscussed returning to the hotel and sit in the lobby by the fireplace. It was a nice idea as we were in the middle of a snowstorm. When we returned to the hotel around 7PM, my wife was the first one to the lobby. I stopped in our room to make a cocktail. I was headed to the lobby and met her as she was on her way back to the room. She was told by the manager the lobby was closed and all the light were off. My wife noticed his girl friend (or wife) was sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book. My brother tried to speak to Joe to find out why the lo by was closed to us but his lady could sit there and, they promoted the lobby and fireplace in the promotional material but now, we weren't allowed to use it. My room cost $181.00+- with tax and we're being told we can't use the general lobby facility. We were also told if we didn't like it he would have us remived. At that moment, Joe's lady interjected that we left the lobby in a mess earlier. NOT TRUE, we only moved two chairs and a small table so all six of us could sit together.
