I don’t know what exactly created such a combination of factors, features and characteristics of the “resort” of Zell-Am-See - maybe, in comparison with Italy, this was such a terrible contrast for us, maybe not. But be that as it may. We could close our eyes to anything, if there were good and clean roads, if we could ride and enjoy the mountains, the sun and the Alpine air. But apparently ..... we were not lucky then thoroughly.
Descending from the mountain, at one single glance with my husband at each other, we realized we must blame! 1000 euros per day for such real bullshit, we are not ready to pay. One call to the office and the secretary replaced the departure date for tomorrow. It is resolved. We are leaving.
Packing our bags, we began to speculate that the payment is 100% in any case, and decided to go ask for a “discount”. It’s stupid to leave and give the hotel money. Especially for this! We arrived at the reception and began to explain that we urgently needed to leave. Like, urgent business circumstances have developed and we need to leave.
The receptionist, of course, says no. No options. Of course you can leave, but 100% payment for all five nights and last.
Well, clear pepper. We did not expect another answer.
- Give at least some discount. - we say.
- We need to discuss with the manager. Come after dinner.
OK.
Dinner was completely upset. No, not upset, but offended. No, I did not offend, but insulted. And the quality of the dishes and their size and all this fucking "doby pani" service .... aaaaaaaaa !!! 5000 euros !!! The brain was seething and the indignant mind forced to shove pieces of some incomprehensible dish into itself, panting and indignant at the same time to the depths of the soul.
I can imagine how our “welcoming Slavic appearance” physiognomy looked at that moment!
Children, as usual in such situations, fell silent and felt the gloomy calm before the storm.
- Here! You wanted another five days. - the husband could not stand the first and began to "reason" out loud.
- .... so what? How could I foresee THIS?
- They don’t look for good from good. It would be better to extend Italy then by five days.
- Italy did not confirm for any carriages. Everything already had an overbird.
- Well, of course, only such shit has not yet been removed.
- Yeah. Damn, if not for 100% prepayment .... then generally to hell with them.
- Yeah.
- Wait! What is the prepayment? ..... The account is blocked. They can’t take anything off the card!
- Well? Will require payment in cash.
- So what? Let them demand. We say that we have an emergency business situation. That's all. Just - the account is blocked. Everything is the same. Not the time. But let's not have cash! And what will they do then? Evict! So we ourselves are voluntarily evicted!
- Are you crazy? They will call the police.
“Well, actually, yes.” Not an option...
- Come on. This is just money. Now, after dinner, let's go and ask what they decided at a discount. Maybe they will knock us off 50%.
- In general, if you think about it, they have no right to charge us for more than 1 extra night, according to European law. And .... by the way, the hotel has a company card number, which means they have a contract with a legal entity, and not with us ..... maybe something like this can come off this side? .... Well, you never know how the company sent me on a business trip, but I’m so irresponsible, I spent all my money, I don’t have cash ... they don’t have the right to arrest me as an individual. After all, I didn’t give them the reservation, but the company ..... eh?
- Stop being smart. Do you even understand that all this is nonsense? They block us a room, take things as collateral and that's it. Everything is simple!
- And we will take things out of the room in advance)))
- Are you serious?
- Well yes. Quite!
- As you say ... we can arrange a circus if you want. We went first to the reception, maybe we will solve everything amicably.
