If you're a family with small children, know that not only will your online reservation be denied but when you call to inquire what the problem is, the answer will be, well a bit confusing and startling.
I attempted to book a room for me, my husband and 1 year old daughter. Upon our reservation being denied, I called and was told, by Dianne, they only rent their largest room to groups of 3 or more. Because the queen bed wouldn't fit the 3 of us, and that there wouldnt be enough floor space. I was confused on many levels by this comment. 1. We have a queen size bed ourselves and all fit quite nicely. 2. Im not sure how much floor space matters when typically people sleep in the bed.... And 3. Im mainly not sure how your incredible need to micromanage each of your guests down to the bed size thats right for them is even legal!?
The room she was referring to, as the only one fit for 3 people, is a room with two queen beds. I stated it was 2 adults and a baby, and we only needed one bed. My daughter does not need her own bed nor does she require an extra 100+ sq ft of room space. She went on to talk at me, in quite a condensending manner I might add, about how she "knows what parents bring and knows what babies need, and all their gear". I find it quite interesting how she only would accept parties of 3 or more, regardless of age/size, in her most expensive room. I wasn't born yesterday.
Well Dianne, we travel light and my 1 year olds "gear" all fits into a small backpack. But thank you for your incredibly rude attitude, unwelcoming and borderline ilegal behavior, and most importantly for ensuring that none of our friends or family who could've been a large target audience for your hotel, will never set foot on your property.
You are not an expert in my child or her needs. Or the needs of any of your guests for that matter. Although my current address is Florida, I'm from the Cape and am very well connected in the hospitality industry, you definitely picked the wrong person to deny at your hotel. read more
