+ The minimum room requirement amount (as per contract) was paid a week in advance to the hotel already. So, we held good on the contract terms - this was 28.4 Lakh INR!
+ The actuals, incidentals and additional costs (which were about 8.45L) would have been done via RTGS settlement after the event. However, Hotel refused to let us even check-out! After paying 28.4L, to be threatened for the balance is ridiculous!
+ The Hotel double-booked events - they admitted it was their fault as asked us for our help. Once we had extended our help to save them from a huge liability, they simply shunned us away - we should have been duly compensated for this mess (not to mention the inconvenience at the conference - blasting drums, lunch in the hot sun etc.) But they refused to even MEET us the next day, the moment we helped them avert the disaster!
#Fail #Fail #Fail - we were treated as mis-creatants instead of guests!
Dude - I can't believe they held your family and wouldn't let you leave! I was shocked at the way they treated Zak and I when we left, but never expected anything of this magnitude.
At least you pulled off an amazing conf despite all the following bullshit.
yeah man - cannot risk any confrontation with family around! I heard about your checkout and their goof-up in billing. Jokers had the audacity of telling me that our attendees were rude and abusive!
Glad you had a great time. I wonder when I am going to say - "Hey we nailed it - the conference was successful without a hitch" ;)
