No no, it is the algorithm. There was nothing they could do. Hands were tied and you can't blame them because the algorithm did it.
I see people talking about chargebacks in this thread which is the logical course of action for a case like this.
What’s nefarious about this is that Hilton and Merriot each own a ton of hotels. If you chargeback multiple times against one of those groups you could get block listed from their locations which can get very problematic in locales without much competition.
I'm going to start away from Hilton hotels after reading through this.
The article is about a Hyatt not a Hilton?
The other linked article is about a Hilton that's doing the same thing.
Gotcha; I had read the primary thread but then presumed the other article was about the exact same series of incidents. Thanks!
Just now? Lmao
This should absolutely be becoming a massive class action suit against both the hotel and the smoke detector maker. All you have to do is prove in court that the detector can be triggered by things other than smoking.
