Come on folks.. the OP asked for our guidance and was looking to learn from our past (and vast) expierence.
No need to flame the OP.
Alexoster.. first, congratulations on your nuptials. I hope your Honeymoon got better after this expierence. I understand your frustration and why you termed this as 'horrific', your Honeymoon comes only once (well, with this wife anyway). You plan and hope everything goes well, and something happens to screw it up.
I would have at least asked for the Hotel to comp the room for the night and made sure they fixed the problem or moved you to another room. But since that's passed, I would write and ask them for a free night at the same category hotel.
(see..was that all that hard to do folks? Remember FT is here to HELP people not make them feel small for asking a question).
