Playing golf next weekend with a friend and we decided to meet the wife’s on our way back in Waterford and stay the night. We planned to book into the new Fitzwilton Hotel, book dinner in their new restaurant and book pampering treatments for the girls in the hotels Beauty Salon.
All in all considering Hotel B&B, dinner in the Hotel Restaurant, the Beauty Salon and more drink, we’d have parted with the approximately €500 between us. Nice business for the hotel you would think, but NO!!!!! The hotels policy is that you cannot book a Saturday only. You have to visit for 2 days if you want to stay on a Saturday.
I explained our plan and the fact that none of us could get babysitters for 2 nights and was told that ‘if I check 2/3 days before the actual Saturday we want to stay; there may be 1 night only stays made available’. I do some business in this area and most likely will never stay here and most definitely won’t be recommending it. Rang 2 other hotels in the City to check availability and they were more than happy to take our booking.
Very strange policy in this day and age……
