Hotel Ejects 30 Guests After Waffle Argument

Authorities say a dispute between two women over a waffle maker led to 30 people being booted from a western Michigan hotel. The Muskegon Chronicle reports a Mason County sheriff's deputy stood by Sunday morning as guests were ordered to pack their bags at the Americas Best Value Inn in Pere Marquette Township after one woman asked another if she was in line for the waffle maker but didn't get an answer.

The inquiring woman started to make a waffle, but the other confronted her. "It went downhill from there," and there was "a lot of yelling and screaming," a sheriff says. The property manager asked that everyone involved be kicked out. There were no arrests or injuries. (More Michigan stories.)
