Days Inn censorship sucks [they never replied]

Dear Days Inn:

RE: My stay on 22 October 2005

I stayed with you in Room 117 on the night of 22 October 2005. There are a number of observations and points arising from that stay.

  1. The room had a cob-web dangling from the main interior light. Perhaps you might like to remove it.
  2. The bathroom was lit by a florescent lamp that was flickering rapidly enough to induce a headache. Perhaps you would like to replace it.
  3. The plug socket near the bed has come out of the wall and is loose. You may wish to re-affix it before someone gets electrocuted.
  4. I had to contact reception twice during my stay to have the wireless internet router turned on. I was never told the exact cause of the fault, but its reliability is questionable.
  5. During the times that the Internet was working, the signal strength was very, very low. Given that I specifically requested wireless Internet access with the reservation, you may consider allocating rooms to those who requested Internet access closer to your base station.
  6. During the times that the Internet was working, several of the websites I attempted to visit were blocked allegedly for “pornography”. I specifically assert that those websites were not pornographic, but even if they were, I question what authority you have to censor my communications with third parties within the confines of my hotel room where such communication does not affect any health, safety or legal issue?

May I please have your response to point #6 forthwith.

Yours truly,
