    Best Western hates the Googans



    I know the full story is never shown, but getting kicked out for plugging up a boat? Ever happened to anyone else? And yes, Googans, BOO! HISS!

    Reading in the comments section several people are calling the hotel and asking if they can plug their boat in and they’re getting hung up on and told no

    I have to be honest...I do not see how they were anything less than respectful. From what they showed, They respectfully left the premises once the Police came ( not sure why the Police even had to be called). There could have been more to it after they edited it but I see no wrong doing here. What is it they said or done that anyone feels he was being " a smartass punk" about?

    All places I have stayed try to work with us to plug our boat in. I have hung an extension cord out a second story window. We even had one manager allow us to plug into a room that was being remodel because our room was to far from the parking lot.

    I would think from viewing the video that the cord was deemed a trip hazard by the hotel. That may have been there cause for not wanting guest to charge a boat at there location. Possible past lawsuit??

    If they felt it was a waste of the cops time for them to come remove them from the room then how about you just leave when the hotel manager tells you to?

    Yeah I found out in the past many of the video titles don’t ever really match the content. And as said above all hotels have worked with me even though they where not set up at boater friendly. Personally I don’t even consider one unless they say they can accommodate a boat being charged. It’s why I go in the first place.

    I stayed at a hotel and they told us this. Said we had to make sure it wasn’t a trip hazard or we couldn’t plug in.

    same here.we have been told they do not allow any type of cord to go under the door because of a trip hazard.
    not only that you have the chance of electrical shock.how many times have you closed the door and thought is that door biting into the cord.we all have done it.let someone get seriously injured or killed,that will be the end of electrical cords going under the door.

    The Googan squad is the biggest group of douche bags on the planet. How hard is it to ask if you can plug your boat in before you book a room.

    Well first you ask. That is just the plain adult and right thing to do. In fact it is something you do when making your reservations or checking in. Bad example for kids I never considered this group a role model for young fishermen. Though I have no problems with them making money, I just don't consider them fishermen or good ambassadors of the sport. Because of this I don't use any products they sale or support. Lol not like I will make a dent in their income stream.

    Now I had smart parents. It went like this if didn't make sense then it didn't happen. So does it make sense that several cops would show up for a boat hooked up being charged by an overnight guest. Give it some thought. I mean use what is between your ears. Does this make sense. No way. We can only assume what really went down. I'm not going to guess. But the version of this video no way makes sense it just didn't happen.

    What is sad they did not follow rules made a video of it and now the hotel is going to be harassed. That's how they get their fun and weird followers or worse yet young kids that follow the wrong mentors. And yet parents let them and buy their products. Shame on those parents. Parents be a rolemodel to your kids do the right thing.

    Ok off my a soap box. But just beleive me if if doesn't make sense then it didn't happen. You all are smarter than that, aren't You?

    My gut is they may regret this one in the future if BW keeps getting some calls.
