  • Recently thought of the day I ruined the night after their wedding night to a couple. We had a booking for them for 2 or 3 nights and fully aware they were coming after their wedding.
  • First night is a no show, we contact them the next morning and they confirm they will be coming later that day and are informed of the no show fee, which also means that regardless of their time of arrival, their room will be ready.
  • Finally the newly wedded couple arrive and are being checked in by a senior front desk agent. Unfortunately they have no ID and no credit card. The FDA

  • She even suggested that we let them in and they would send a wire transfer when the bank reopened (We were on a long week end), which of course has been declined. She stormed away
  • mentionning she will send an email to complain and took my name all the while saying again how I ruined a very special night that she will never get it back.
  • Couple weeks pass by and indeed she sent a nasty e-mail to the CEO of the hotel company complaining about me, all the while acknowledging their own fault...
