I understand, if you hesitate to give me all the details.
How about just telling us here what hotel in Zürich that was?
I will then confront the hotel management with it in person (showing up in person at the place), and report their answer(s) and their general policy here on FlyerTalk (and depending on the outcome, I will also inform a local journalist later), keeping your privacy on this issue.
