Yesterday I had an old man come in. He seemed pretty lucid but just mean. He was talking to me and was willing to pay the deposit and his room charge up front. Things changed when I asked for his ID. He got pissed off at me and stormed out.
Well I'm not 100% that it was the same guy that came back after 11pm for a room, but we think it was. He was confused and lost. Turns out he was already checked into the Best Western with all his things there, but forgot he was there. He told the night auditor that he forgot his meds there. She called over and they told her he was still checked in. The security guy escorted him back the the Best Western. He had checked into at least 6 hotels in the area. One person knew him at another hotel. They said he is homeless because his family doesn't want to take care of him.
The security guy called the police, but they were no help. Someone should have called social services. This man shouldn't be wondering the streets from hotel to hotel (driving) spending all his cash at each one.
