We started off with a positive attitude to our hotel stay. That very quickly went out the window.
We had to call down to find out when we would get breakfast. When it arrived it was as cold as last nights dinner.
Again, at lunch time, we had to phone down. This time though we ran into a problem. The house phone wasn’t working so we called the local number using our cell phones. No luck! We even called the 1-800 number and still no answer. Now we knew we were in prison.
When our cold lunch final showed up, it wasn’t too bad just very expensive.
About 2:20 in the afternoon, I got an email saying my test was negative. We were packed in minutes and ready to go. Unfortunately we didn’t get Rosalie’s result so she finally checked her junk mail and there it was. We were packed and ready to leave in minutes. I called Harbour Air and made a reservation then went to check out.
The room we were in would usually go for about $100-$120, we were paying $400. From what we see so far the only extra we got for the extra $280-300 was terrible food. There was one young lady; probably a family member who had on a security jacket and that was it.
I of course asked for a refund and they of course refused. So, we had a room for one night, three crappy meals, no communication with the front desk and it only cost us $1,400. What a deal?
This is government sanctioned robbery and mostly taking advantage of snowbird seniors. so anybody booked at the Quality Inn in Richmond, beware because they don’t care.
Our flight to Nanaimo was uneventful and Dave had us home at 6pm.
And, we plan to do it all again next season.
Welcome home…too bad you had to pay for crappy food and service there should be charges against hotels gouging … perhaps a group claim ?
Sad but true..Covid hotels.. but you are back safe…!!
Well when you do it all over again….and if this ridiculous robbery from hotels is still in effect….then book the Everygreen service to take ya to the ferry…. we’d walk again in a heartbeat…. very simple process, but definitely by the book! Happy you are home….But now we will see who buys who the first drinks on the beach….🍷😂🤣 Cheers!
What an ordeal. I call it covid-crazyiness. Welcome back. Enjoy the beautiful spring and forget the rest. TIL then…….
Is there somewhere that you can write to about your experience? Well, all the $$ you saved by being in Mexico just got spent in just a few hours. Not good.
