Hotel Charge is Calling


The Excelsior Hotel policy requires an upfront credit card charge for the rooms we booked.
So far all has been booked (and guaranteed) by my “poor” credit card account :).
Now that charging time is called (August 30), I believe it is wise that all individuals send in their card information.
It saves a lot of calculation and currency loss afterwards.
And secondly it will not alarm VISA when suddenly Excelsior charges my account for more than € 8000,00.
Please fill in a.s.a.p (before August 28) the emailed attached document and fax it to the Excelsior Hotel. Please note the charge is € 210,00 p/room p/night (no breakfast included).

Will do.

However, "no breakfast"! ? !? !?

After Barleyman's great review about the culinary delights, I was really looking forward to a great start to each day.

Let's see... 210 Euros, no breakfast, pay in advance... Hotel Alfa sure looking better all the time.

Do we need a Reservation Number??

So we shoul dnot opt for the meal, but can always pay a la carte?

Reservation numbers emailed today!
For breakfast I believe everyone can decide to take it either in the Hotel (16,00 euro p/p) or next door (less price). You don't have to make that decision now.

And CHUGGER you may have overlooked, but at the Excelsior the minibar is for free. That is why the Excelsior total price is much less than the Alfa. Specially for you :)

"but at the Excelsior the minibar is for free."

Most of us do like to drink our breakfast ! !

Einfahrt said...

OK, the various Einfahrt reservations (Jack/Mac, C and I; Jane) will be handled by me (for reservation CC only!) and I've spoken to the hotel to confirm.

I just spoke to Chugger and I think they charge the full room 2 weeks before the arrival.

Guess what, they sold it to Chugger.

DONE!!!

We look forward to a pleasant stay at the Hotel Excelsior.

Not sure if half eaten Gyros mix well with 600 Count Egyptian Cloth sheets. But we will find out!

I will scout the best spot for Stair Diving.

I was definitely looking forward to breakfasts of salami and soft boiled eggs :>(
What I want to know is, what's in the minibar?
