Soldier is refused room at hotel
This is all over the internet, but I make no apologies for jumping on the band wagon.
A soldier home on leave after being injured in Afghanistan was refused a room by a hotel when he showed his military ID card at reception.
Corporal Tomos Stringer, 23, from Gwynedd, was visiting a wounded colleague in Surrey when he was turned away from the Metro Hotel in Woking.
He spent the night in his car after being told it was management policy not to accept military personnel
Corporal Stringer’s mam says
We’ve been to America and their military get treated like heroes over there
Yup, but not in all quarters.
The Metro Hotel is owned by a company called American Amusements Ltd
