Would you feel comfortable staying in a hotel if you knew the general manager was a convicted felon, in prision not once but twice over money charges? Would you feel comfortable keeping your valuables in the room? And you think they shoud do background checks on at least Managers positions?

This person filled out a resume and did not mention it. Most hotels do not do back ground checks, I know Best Western and Choice hotels do not require back ground checks on employment.

People do change, but when you are convicted of a felony you lose some rights and that includes working where people need to rely on you. So definetly NO!

I would say it depends upon the felony. If the felony was a DUI-manslaughter, I don't think I would have a problem with the guy being manager of the hotel.
However, the felony you're referring to regards the theft of money. I don't think I would feel comfortable with a hotel manager under that condition. The reason being that he has control of all the hotel keys, customer credit card data, as well as the hotel safe where customers are encouraged to keep their valuables. I don't think I could trust the guy under that condition.

If being convicted of felonies is insufficient cause to preclude someone from running for Congress, why should it prevent someone from managing a hotel?
As long as the hotel manager does not physically enter my room or write down my credit card number I don't see where they will be a factor for me--I can't say the same about my Senator or Representative.

They should not be allowed to run, there are already adequate crooks in this government. i'm an self reliant - third party. additionally the question should be asked with regard to the folk who might surely vote for somebody with a checklist, in line with danger this may well be a factor of the concern, Ted Stevens being the latest occasion, alongside with the likes of Marion Barry and others, what in gods call is faulty with people?, Barney Frank is generally to blame for the sub best loan meltdown, yet, he became rather reelected, are you bleeping!! kidding me?, and then those self same people take a seat lower back and ask your self why this united states is interior the form that is in, I say the 1st place they could commence searching for an answer is interior the closest mirror.

sure why not...
If we don't allow felons to work, what would we do with them? Just be glad he's not a sex-offender, If your stuff comes up missing, then you have a suspect.
What about the millions that have done wrong, but never got caught? I would think they are less-trustworthy than people who served their sentence.
In 2002, State and Federal courts convicted a combined total of nearly 1,114,000 adults of felonies in America.

It depends on how long it has been since the last conviction and what the person's track record has been since then.
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. But, if a person has made a change in their life and proven over time that they can be a responsible contributing member of society, then they should be given a second chance.

Should they be allowed to manage the hotel? Yes -- if they've done their time and paid their debt to society, they should be able to work at any job that's willing to hire them.
I might even be okay with staying in such a hotel.
As for my valuables, I don't keep them out in the open in any hotel room. I either keep them with me when I go out, or I keep them in the room under lock and key.

It's none of my business whether the manager has felonies. If I have something stolen while staying at the hotel, I'm going to file a police report.
The owner of the hotel is the one who needs to make the rules, not the guests. You have the option to stay elsewhere if you want.

No Sam, I wouldn't feel comfortable in the circumstances you describe. I'd avoid that hotel like the plague. If the manager had been busted twice for smoking pot, though, I wouldn't be terribly worried. It would depend on the circumstances.

It would depend how long it's been since they were in prison. People can change but it usually takes time. If it was recent, I wouldn't be comfortable but then again I would think becoming a general manager isn't something that happens overnight. I would think trust was earned to get to that position.
