Doesn't matter that if they didn't take pictures of me; how would I know???

Note this was reposted on Dolphin capital investments Instagram so management clearly knows that there is drone usage (plus I'm pretty sure they have a number of their own drone shots).

Fdw
We will have situations when commercial shots are done when no hotel will ban drones. In this case hotel should clearify in advance. Not a big issue in the case in my opinion.

I think itīs an appropriate reaction.
