To think this is a piss take from spa hotel?

Booked a night away for me and DH at a popular spa hotel - the website offered me a last minute deal when I put the dates in so I booked that.

They’ve now said that the hydro suite isn’t going to be operational on the dates we booked and - I kid you not - ‘as compensation’ and as a ‘gesture of goodwill’ they will allow us to change the date for free. Not allowed to cancel and be refunded, (because it’s a last minute deal) no discount on treatments etc.

I’m actually not that bothered about a refund/discounted treatments. It’s the bloody gall saying that changing the dates for free is compensation and a gesture of goodwill has got me going WTF!!

So…..

YABU - letting us change the date for free counts as compensation and a gesture of goodwill

YANBU - that’s the bloody least they could do and making it sound like they are doing us a favour is a bloody piss take

Just ask to cancel and for a refund if a change of dates does not suit you. Why would you be compensated if you are ok with a change of date? You would be getting like for like. I don't understand what a hydro suite is though - is that the whole spa or just part of it (e.g. like an individual sauna room)?

What else do you want?

Maybe the hydro thing has an issue that needs draining/mechanical repair etc. Presumably something unexpected.
