(CNN)A Virginia hotel is fighting back against Donald Trump after the GOP presidential nominee criticized the air conditioning -- or lack thereof -- at a Monday event there.

"If we are in a ballroom, it's not supposed to be so hot that everybody in the audience is using a fan," Trump said during the campaign event at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center.

And he threatened to not pay his bill for the room -- a frequent move by Trump's companies when he says he receives inadequate service.

"You ought to try turning on the air conditioning or we are not going to get you paid," Trump said. "I pay my bills so fast with somebody good. With somebody average, I pay them OK. With somebody great, a lot of times I give them bonuses ... This is ridiculous."

Attendees at the event appeared warm and uncomfortable, and laughed when Trump commented on the lack of air conditioning.

On Tuesday, the hotel pushed back, saying it had operated the air conditioning fully and pointing to the number of people in the room as the issue.

"The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center is committed to providing exceptional service and accommodation for all guests and members of the community," hotel spokesman Michael Quonce said in a statement. "The hotel's HVAC system was on and working properly through the event. We made every effort to create a comfortable environment for all of our guests given soaring temperatures and a ballroom filled with hundreds of attendees."

I wonder how many venues he has paid less than "in full"?

Guess what Trump supporters?  You ain't getting paid either. 
You ain't getting your wall.  You ain't getting your muslim ban.  You ain't getting American made Great.

You're getting a big steaming bowl of Hitlery.

Wow, if you watched the damn rally, you would know he was not serious!

Oh yeah? Tell that to the hotel and it's staff that Donny took a dump on with his asinine non sequitur. They are taking it seriously.

BTW, what would your boy do if someone slammed one of his ratty hotels?

[Emjay]

Ridiculous.  Every convention center booked for Trump should cancel.

Anybody who does business with Trump should get their money up front.  No exceptions.

[Emjay]

He is already getting s-o-o tiresome. Dear Lord, please intervene, or we'll all go crazy.

Amen.  I am so tired of him.

I'm tired of griping about him but what else can one do... he's horrible and obnoxious and crooked and every other bad thing.

And Hillary is also horrible.  I'd like to ignore the whole thing but  I can't seem to.

Ratings were down for the RNC, I think Trump fatigue might be setting in

I think your taking the wrong tact, Trump isn't being a moocher, the operative word should be Welch.
welch
verb [ I ] UK ​ /weltʃ/ /welʃ/ US ​ /weltʃ/ /welʃ/ also welsh informal disapproving
​
to avoid doing something you have promised to do, especially not to pay a debt:

And this is exactly what Trump does, he welch's on the deals he has made for services and goods, that is one of the things that he does have a track record to look at. But worse than welching on services, Trump has already told us he is welching on his campaign promises, they're just things he says and it won't be until he is actually elected that he will look to see what might be done and what kind of deals he can make.

Honoring commitments is just not in this charlatan's DNA.

Maybe NOT honoring commitments is in his DNA, specifically being a cheap, miser. After all his mother was Scottish, no?

lol

And played the stalking horse all day,
For a bitch called Hillary ...

Maybe he can get Mexico to pay for the ballroom.

I did watch it...  He was serious.  I was appalled at his remarks.

He sounded like a braggart in some depression era Manhattan speakeasy regaling the drunks with his twisted version of how he made his fortune by stepping on the little people.

Unfortunately our country has looked the other way on late term abortions and has allowed Planned Parenthood to sell fetal tissue and body parts. We have allowed transgender bathrooms and gay marriages. We won't allow the words Merry Christmas to be uttered, nor the mention of God in our schools, yet mandate students write about Sharia law. I think the Lord is already intervening.  He is giving this country exactly what we deserve; Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

In His mercy, he's also giving an out. Neither Pence nor Kaine are bad people at all.
