Dear Brandon Eberhardt

Greetings from Expedia.com!

We have been contacted by Knights Inn Indianapolis In in regards to your booking with them. Unfortunately the hotel has closed down and will not be able to accept your reservation. Due to these unforeseen circumstances, we would like to relocate you to another property. Please refer to our Hotel section on our website and see if there is another suitable property that we could relocate you to. If an alternate property is not found we will cancel the reservation for a full refund.

Please call our Hotel Partner Support at 1-866-854-8617 indicating which hotel would be a suitable alternative for you stay. For immediate assistance when calling,
please refer to case # xxxxxxxxxx .
For ALL 4 ROOMS.....

Many thanks for your attention to this matter. We look forward to hearing from you very soon. We are open 24/7 for your convenience.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY BY EMAIL

Sincerely,

Mary G.

Damn...450 a Night!!!! Yikes

Sweet Shit though!

Trip

09-04-2008, 10:33 PM

and we're booked... 4 rooms each have two double beds... all should be on the same floor... and I asked they be next door to each other.

rooms cost 450 a night! the knights in was only 26 a night!

I had to come out of pocket exactly $0.

fuck'n awesome!

awesome, this roxxorz my soxxorz. I don't really care where I sleep, well except i get dibs on a bed, it doesn't have to be on the same floor as the crazy group so I can get my beauty rest. I call the old farts room that goes to sleep way too early (no snorers allowed)

Mr Lefty

09-05-2008, 12:10 AM

Wow, that's incredible!! I've heard a few other horror stories about people getting rates re-quoted to them that were over twice teh original prices and just stuck with the choice.

Your story makes me want to book more often with Expedia.

Mr Lefty

09-05-2008, 06:12 AM

not only that.... but the woman I spoke to just sent me an e-mail saying shes mailing me 4 $100 vouchers for expedia... (one for each room) valid through September of next year...

humm... Indy 09? :D

That's awesome. Can't wait to see everyone there.

09-05-2008, 10:15 AM

$26 a night?? No wonder the closed down...Was that their hourly rate? At least you lucked out on the expedia folks...Sounds like quite an adventure in the making!

09-05-2008, 10:34 AM

friggin AWESOME!!! awesome rooms AND a pool, *sigh*

Rider

09-05-2008, 10:40 AM

Motherfuckers didn't close down... I just called them and they are open. The fuckers just didn't want to honor your reserved room rate would be my guess.

Ebbs, Call Marten House Hotel to verify your reservation. This sounds too good to be true.....

09-05-2008, 12:28 PM

So does anyone know what rooms everyone will be in?

Captain Morgan

09-05-2008, 12:37 PM

Ebbs and I are sharing a room with Rae and Kat. Trip has a room on the old people floor where they all eat dinner at 4pm and go to bed at 7. The rest of you can do what you want.

You could try gnome, but the one with the gnome is hotels.com. I think. Or maybe it's travelocity. Either way, it's not expedia.

remember i have all rights to all video to sell on the net.. try to get as little as possible of you in the pictures and videos because then it is worth more.. of course if you took it from the waist down there wouldn't be much showing up on the pictures and videos anyways.. that is unless the viewers zoom in like 1,000,000x..

trip - will look for you.. it will be a whiskey drenched weekend so can't make any guarantees.. have rider and ebbs cell #s so if i am coherent enough to dial the phone there is a good chance i will see you.. i owe you a beer or 2 for the advice on the adobe program..
