Her lame excuse was she had a “personal issue.” Try locating another property in town at any kind of a reasonable rate on short notice. Even Motel Six is charging $300.00 a night next weekend. Same thing happened to a friend who is also going up there next weekend. I suspect these so called hosts discover what a busy weekend that is and get more money for their places by advertising elsewhere. The people who planned early at a good rate are out of luck. Scammers and rip-off artists.

A woman took my reservation for eight days, with six weeks notice, at Thanksgiving. Two weeks before I was to arrive, I got a phone call at midnight telling me another guest wanted to stay a month (over lapping my stay) and she couldn’t afford to turn it down. I expressed my anger and she said she actually had another apartment that she hadn’t listed yet. After our third night, we were moved to a windowless, half finished basement with no beds and exposed wiring, and no fire egress. She had the audacity to be hurt when we left the following morning. I had to pay for a hotel room, over a holiday, in a major city…I was out an extra $600.
