They tried to refused our service animal because of her ESA status stating that there was a difference between support animals and service animals and which one they accepted into the hotel based on that status. After making an exception for us allowing us to stay only saying we couldn't leave her alone in the room (a crate trained 12 lb mini poople) we had to scramle to find a new hotel. We missed the wedding ceremony that we came into town to attend. I have never been told that my animal was not allowed in any hotel the past three years I've had an ESA. ESA are usually for people suffering with mental health disabilities or challenges where service animals are usually for people with a clear physical challenge or in need of help performing tasks. I will say this is the first time I've felt less than or compaited to in a less than manner to someone who needs a service animal. Both ESA and service dogs are service animals because they both perform important tasks. My animal's job is just as important and mental health sufferes deserve the same rights as handicapable people.
