Not completely unexpected considering the number of people out of their homes.

Anyone else have similar happen?

There are somethings called floating hotels that came to Baton Rouge. They're $140/night. No one knows about them. May want to google it

Had a bunch down in Grand Isle and Fourchon during the oil spill cleanup. It's where they housed all the laborers.

The Advocate had an article today that said those floating hotels are empty so far. The flood relief workers who can't get regular rooms are driving or being bussed in daily from NOLA and other outlying areas. Not sure why the boats haven't caught on.

Happened to me as well. Had a room booked for the Mississippi State game and they called about a week ago and cancelled it. I'll just have to book a room a little outside of BR hopefully.

What the hell? So we are just going to do away with capitalism now? I better have my God damn hotel rooms.

Well, there was a catastrophe down there. I understand them pulling my room from me. It is needed by families on the street more than me wanting to sleep in a comfy bed after I watch an LSU game slap full of beer.

They called me about a week ago to take my hotel away from me. Guess I'll sleep on the street.

You probably should start looking soon. Everything immediately east of BR went under too (Denham etc). I'm not sure where the closest hotel room is in that direction.

Call them and get them to book you a room at one of their other locations within 60 miles or so...and tell them you need a 50% discount for the inconvenience. Bet they'll accept...

I got notifed that my rooms were cancelled. I demand a reason why. When they told me I said they can't do that.

We went back and forth. I told them they need to reimburse me for my airfare they refused. I had my attorney (retainer)
Contact them immediately and he demanded to know why and have in writing how much the person or group was paying for the rooms they had cancelled.

They folded and their corporate office return the rooms back to me.

I hope you feel good about yourself, you just denied flood victims a roof over their heads. How big did your cock feel when they gave your rooms back??

I must say I would be pissed if that happened to me but I don't think I'd ever go as far as get a lawyer involved.
