First of all let me say that the front desk staff at this lovely hotel is friendly and helpful, but their helpfulness is what got us in trouble and cost us more than $100. When I contacted the hotel later about the problem, the man who answered the call refused to talk to me and hung up on me without letting me explain. Here's what happened:
-We parked at an unmarked space to check in. While at the reception desk, the receptionist and I noticed that a policeman was placing a ticket on our car. She suggested that we run out and stop him.
-My husband immediately went outside to explain that we were parked temporarily to check in, but the policeman said he must give the ticket. My husband took it inside and asked the receptionist where we should go to pay it.
-She told us not to worry and explained that the hotel would take care of it if we would give it to the manager, who was sitting in the lobby at the time. We did so. -- At this point, we could no longer pay for the ticket because we did not have it. We said "Thank you" and forgot about it.
-When our VISA bill arrived, there was an additional $104.49 charge from Enterprise Car Rental, who eventually got the ticket from Middelburg with a non-payment fine. Enterprise passed this on to us with an additional fine.
The hotel did not reply to my emails about this problem, and when I call and tried to explain, the man who answered would not listen to my explanation. He yelled at me and hung up on me.
