I got the call yesterday that the 'performance' for the weekend left around $7500 on the bill. When I told them all my cards were maxed out and my bank accounts were overdrawn, they were gracious enough to drop it down to $5500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
This whole charging thing still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth because it doesn't make any logical sense. But I'm the moron who put his name on the dotted line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) At this point I doubt there is anything I can really do about it. There is around $1000 coming in from the silent auction. As I told a few people at the event, I really thought they were going to be a little more gracious about this.

It's a confusing story, because it's kind of illogical.
I'll try to condense it. I signed up with the hotel for 40 rooms for three nights. Which means (to the hotel) that I'm on the hook for 120 'room-nights' (40 * 3). The reservation system works like this. I have a block of 120 room nights that are reserved and locked down until a certain date. Once that date passes the rooms are released into the general population, BUT my commitment is not release. At this point they are "trying to help me out" by selling more rooms (their exact words). So if the hotel sells out (like it did on Sat night) then I don't owe anything. So at the end of it all there ended up being a bunch of rooms empty on Fri and Sun, and thus they are looking to me to make it up to them. It doesn't make any sense to me, but I've tried to talk to people there and I get the run around explanation. I don't know if I have any other options besides paying up. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) That might be why you still owe them money. I have a similar deal with the hotel in Moab for the RRC, but once the cut-off date passes, all bets are off. The hotel is responsible for filling the rooms, not me. I am sure a phone call to the right person will settle this. If you need help, please let me know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
