Business Professionals BEWARE

I was scheduled to exhibit at a trade show in Boston for our company for two days. The conference where I was exhibiting was a three day event, however the exhibition was only 2 days. So I scheduled a room for the three days I needed (the day before and the two days of the conference). A few weeks before the conference, a customer of ours asked to meet with me on the last day of the conference, a day that I had not scheduled for lodging, and of course the hotel I had booked originally did not have any rooms left available for the final day. So I booked a room at the Oasis because they were within walking distance to where the customer was. Two days prior to my reservation, my customer calls me and tells me that he is in the hospital and cannot meet with me. Now usually, a hotel will allow you to cancel as long as you do so within 24 hours of the reservation, but Oasis tells me that they will not allow me to cancel without a 100% penalty because they have a 7-day cancellation policy. They don't even have a cancellation polity for extenuating circumstances. They told me that I would still have to pay for the entire stay even though I had nothing to do with the need for cancellation. I could not turn in an expense report for a stay that I did not use because I would have to pay for that out of my pocket. THEY ARE WILLING TO RISK YOU, YOUR COMPANY AND ANY OF YOUR ASSOCIATES NEVER STAYING THERE EVER AGAIN INSTEAD OF BEING FLEXIBLE FOR PROFESSIONALS AND ALLOWING CANCELLATION WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
