I agreed because to me it's not a big deal price-wise, but somehow it seems wrong. Unlike Fairmont's program which was a 4:00 guarantee, Accor is based on "availability". The way I see it, it's available, but cough up some dough! Thoughts?
It's a great resort. I only go up for conferences (my wife's family lives in Napa, so we don't generally "do" Sonoma), but enjoy it when I go. I agree it seems slimy.
I'd consider a little social media pressure for that - maybe a Twitter question to the hotel, cc: @
