No, just the next property I'm due to stay.
A friend had a confirmed rez for a MI property that had closed due to hurricane damage, but had started taking new rezzies. They were delayed in opening and just a few weeks before arrival canceled his rez. They were unwilling to assist in finding accommodations in the area. Once escalated to Salt Lake, they fell over themselves making arrangements at a neighboring property (not even MI). The local property was hoping, and probably did, just ditch several guests with no regard for the commitment they made accepting their rez.
