Reply to comment by Cold-Try6621 in Open Discrimination within the Agency of Human Services -- State Funded Abuse of a Vulnerable Population by lindrios

I wanted to clarify that my article mentions the "Quality" Inn and not the "Days" Inn.

The Days Inn is a resounding success within the THP as far as I am concerned. The hotel administration went above and beyond to bring in resources for mental health and substance abuse. Things that DCF/ESD were unable to accomplish. Their hotel is also clean and holds events for the children that are housed there.

The Quality Inn however has administration that's under the impression that they are running a "sober house" of sorts and doesn't adhere to many of the THP guidelines. The google reviews make some interesting accusations as well but I have not been able to confirm those.

I really appreciate hearing your experience with the program, there is a lot to unpack here and I would be interested in more details regarding your time working in the program.

My apologies on the mix up. I'm actually surprised I misread that, I am well acquainted with the Quality Inn as well. I had the exact oposite experience with the Quality Inn that I had had with Days Inn. The Quality Inn is quite possibly a humanitarian micro-crisis. Not only have I had horrid experiences there, primarily with the hotel staff, but the rumors and stories circulating among the guests there were beyond concerning and certainly alarming. Not to mention the over all quality of living. The hotel manager of the Quality Inn is not only infamous from mentions of her in online reviews, but among the housing program community as well. ESD, other participating hotels and their staff, and additional involved parties are well acquainted with the renown hostility of that particular hotel and manager.
