Pay the ridiculous amount for flexibility!!!!
We had booked a night away as a treat for our children, unfortunately West Wales was issued with a red weather warning on our day of travel, sometjing i have never seen before! I called the hotel to explain that we wouldnt be travelling the 200 miles during the storm for the safety of our family, they said that they would happily change the dates of our booking but i would have to request this through Hotels.com, i have had numerous phone calls and emails with both the Novotel and Hotels.com and they have now said that there is nothing they can do and we loose the £400 it cost for our two rooms, we're devastated as we just didnt have the extra £50 to pay for flexibility and had every intention of taking the trip until Storm Darrah arrived. I would definitely book a hotel directly in future and would choose one who chose to help their traveller's rather than leave them devastated for putting the safety of their family first!
