I’ve stayed with Wendy many times. I’ve never had a disappointing experience until this time.
Wendy has a no guest policy. I asked her if I could have my girlfriend come in with me for 30-60 minutes during the day as she was with me and I needed to stop my the room to pick something up. She said no, suggesting I should cancel and re-book for 2 people, even though she wasn’t spending the night or anytime there. She just wanted to come inside briefly instead of having to stay in the car. She ended up staying in the car.
Of course Wendy didn’t have to grant it. But to me, this is the difference between excellent hospitality as a host and simple transactional money making. I’ll probably look elsewhere simply for the hospitality aspect.
