"Colorado Springs hotel apologizes after employees refuse to serve military"
The DoubleTree by Hilton in Colorado Springs posted an apology to its Facebook page Friday afternoon for refusing to serve members of the military at the hotel’s bar Thursday night. Hundreds of Facebook users shared a photo of a sign at the bar that read “NO LONGER SERVING MILITARY PERSONNEL & THEIR GUEST(S)” posted by Aimee Osbourne this morning. News5 spoke with Osbourne about her post and the reaction by staff. The number one thing Osbourne wants everyone to know is there is no ill will towards Doubletree Colorado Springs. She says she did not write the post with the intent of starting problems. The statement from the Daniel Kammerer, General Manager of the hotel, said two employees “acted without the proper authority” to exclude service members from the bar. Kammerer’s statement said both employees are “no longer employed at the property.” He went on to say the hotel has reached out to the leaders of the group to apologize, and “our property is one that welcomes all, especially the men and women who serve our country.
^ This was clearly a decision made without the company's consent. I have been to Colorado Springs countless times and the whole city lives and breathes the Military. I just hope the now-former employees who kicked-out the soldiers have a hard time finding another job in Colorado Springs (or anywhere for that matter. ^
