Another possible swindle/weasling I've noticed is a hotel not having defining any "standard" rooms, therefore, none have to be available for MR.
Courtyard in Jensen Beach, FL is an example, a healthly walk from the hotel to the Ocean - where there are no hotel supplied chairs, umbrellas, etc, you have to rent them from an enterprising indivdual. Well, one side of the hotel is defined as "ocean view" although probably only the top half can see the ocean.
The other side is called "sunset view" although it overlooks nothing but the parking lot and the Gulf of Mexico is some 90 miles away to really see a sinking sun.
I've also seen "pool" view and "resort" view. If these are the two choice, are there no standard rooms?
