Wow, that sucks big time!!! Hard to avoid though under the circumstances. I doubt the hotel will do anything... You might want to look into a low deductible on your comprehensive insurance. It may be cheaper than what you expect. After doing some major body work to my car I dropped my deductible to ZERO and it only cost me about $70 more per year. That gives me some peace of mind that if I do have trouble (and I do take my car to Walmart and grocery stores) it won't really cost me anything to fix.

Thanks for the insurance advice. I actually wrote my own policy with Nationwide. It's true a zero deductible will be less out of your pocket but with numerous claims your claims experience stacks up and your rate will hit the roof even though they were minor claims with comp loss of <$1000. I've been an agent for 10 years and I deal with this all day long.
