I have now asked the reservations deparment to get a confirmation from the General Manager of the hotel that they'll not honour their promise nor give a discount. I did actually think they would honour their promise, silly me. Anything else that could be done? Besides the social media bashing
That’s so ridiculous. I didn’t get email directly from them that private transfer is possible, however, as I was communicating with WA, the reservation manager said, “Being a Waldorf Astoria and staying true to our communication, we honored any guest who we communicated via email that we do accept 3rd party transportation. And this applied to that guest only who we addressed in that email.“
LOL They aren’t going to honour anything they said. Great service WA!
