Snake Infestation: Wisconsin Hotel Guests Encounter Reptiles in Pool and Hot Tub

Guests at the Country Inn and Suites by Radisson in Germantown, Wisconsin, were shocked to find snakes in the pool, hot tub, hallway, and even a guest room. The snakes, believed to be northern water snakes, were likely from the wetlands behind the hotel. While some guests took matters into their own hands to remove the snakes, the hotel refused full refunds and blamed a guest for the incident. Choice Hotels, which owns Radisson, declined to comment. The hotel claims it has taken steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.
