Folks,

 

I just went to the website to at least grab a room for the time being.

 

I was disappointed to learn that reservations are non cancellable and non refundable!

Our contract provides that the reservations are cancellable, refundable and substitutes permitted.
I have contacted the hotel to correct the website.

Excuse me, but isn't this in the boonies way outside town? Are we 

going to be stuck in a $200 a night hotel with no reasonable 

alternative accommodations eating vastly overpriced hotel food and 

facing a one-hour commute to anywhere else?

 

We should know by now that isolated resorts ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE as 

meeting locations. Even if they're vaguely close to cool places like 

Dublin.

 

It's not too late. Please cancel the meeting now. Even if it costs a 

bunch of money and means we have to skip that meeting date.

 

Yes, I'm serious.

 

And no, I don't play golf, which appears to be the entire focus of 

this sort of location.
