The small town of Orange City Iowa does not have much to offer in the way of fancy Hotels. So when my Mother, a 50+ year resident of Orange City IA passed away, our choices of motels were Super 8 or Dutch Colony Inn. Because Super 8 had a room that would accommodate 3 adults with beds, a refrigerator and a microwave, we chose Super 8. My husband, daughter and I stayed there 3 days while making funeral arrangements for my Mother.
The day before the funeral we had asked the day attendant if we could have a late checkout of 1:00 o'clock as the funeral was at 2 o'clock. The attendant said "sure, no problem". The day of the funeral at approx. 10 AM we received a call from the manager that we needed to be out of the room by 11 o'clock. We told the manager (which by the way was a foreigner from India) that we were given the OK to check out at 1 o'clock due to my Mother's funeral. He told us "he was the manager and he wanted us out at 11 o'clock. We agreed on 12 o'clock and stated to him that we hoped that if he had a death in his family that he be treated the same way that he treated us. KARMA!!!!
No matter the very limited choice in Orange City IA.......if I ever go back….my only choice in the future will be the Dutch Colony Inn.
