Lie is such a harsh word. I've never had a hotel ask how many guests, or
check. I just rented a room last month in Calgary, and the on-line
system said two people for a suite, and I called the hotel to ask about
this since we had four people. They had no idea what I was talking about
or why I was asking. I left it at that, figuring the web site was just
advising on how many people would fit, but not limiting the number of
people. Bring some extra towels. |
