IHG press office yesterday spread the news that this 0.01 offer in not a mistake of somedoby of their staff, but an act of an hacker who in the night between sunday and monday (late afternoon in US) entered a fake promotion.
Appears that the hotel had more than 5000 bookings (many of them for groups of several rooms!) in two hours.
In my opinion this is totally false and IHG is trying to protect itself against proper claims for prepaid and confirmed rooms, and for this reason issued a press release regarding hacker attak.
Yeah, okay. I believe this if you believe that hacker also broke into my hotel room last night. Logged onto internet, ordered up room service and pay per view while I was out. Not my fault, really.
Hate how the hotel shamelessly gives themselves a plug of being one of the most luxurious inland hotels at the same time in the article. Never heard of them before, but their response seems well, immature at best.
