Been cheated/ripped off ??

[TheSneakiness]

I don't mean in relationships.

I just rang the place where I was going to stay for Indy to confirm the dates I had booked in May.

Ring them up, and it was some administrator joint. I asked them if it was the place I was staying at.

I get told that they've closed for renovations and aren't re-opening until November, which in turn left me without a place to stay during Indy. I was so close to blasting the woman on the phone. Thank christ common sense prevailed and I bit my tongue.

I'd tried to contact this place for the last month, trying to get info. Worst thing is that I'd paid a deposit of $160 odd bucks to secure the room. They gave me a number to ring regarding bookings, which I have done. Awaiting a call back from them so I can reclaim my deposit.

I've never been so filthy in my life. The least thing they could've done was try to contact me and tell me that they were closing for renovation and that they'd send me my deposit back.

Good news is that I found somewhere else to stay, although it's not as close to the track as I'd like. It's got better amenities and even costs less to stay there, and I get breakfast every morning.
