Hmmm I may have a result
Jan. 5th, 2006 12:28 pmOn that last post about the hotel cancellation fees. I didn't think that i had anything in writing from them but oooh looky what i found. An email from them stating:

I forwarded that to her and i also rang her on the phone and told her of it. She tried to say that it had to do with the weather but i pointed out, rather tearfully, that this was a bit more of an exceptional circumstance than snow. I understood that they have a business to run and i understood that they actually lost more money by turning away a family that wanted a longer booking because we'd already booked and possibly we could even meet somewhere in the middle between 10 and 60%. She said she'd look into it and get back to me, rather hurriedly rushed me off the phone i felt but i was a bit upset. Maybe she's going to back down a little. Hope so.
