Following receipt of my confirmed reservation for October 9-13, 2023, with the Pendray Inn and Tea House (Victoria B.C.) I phoned to confirm the rate the following morning, January 30, 2023. They initially said they would honor my rate but then put me on hold and came back and reversed their position refusing to honor the rate. I asked to speak with the manager and was advised she was busy but would call me back. A half hour later Julia Canton, Sales and Marketing manager (with responsibility for both the Pendray Inn and Tea House and the Huntingdon Hotel) phoned me claiming they had made a mistake on the computer pricing and they would not honor the price for which I had a confirmed booking. They offered me a discount which I did not feel appropriate and refused. Clearly my calling them to confirm the rate had alerted them to a rate problem they had posted both on the *********** website as well as on their own hotel website. This could/would have impacted many other guest bookings and created significant problems (their pricing mistake covered a three week period in October of 2023) which my follow-up averted for them. Not satisfied with Ms. Canton’s offering, I attempted unsuccessfully to speak with Erin Cassels, the General Manager, several times on successive days asking her to return my phone calls. Two days later someone by the name of Chamil called extending the original 25% discount offer adding free parking ($12/day). It is common practice to honor posted prices even when that posting is incorrect, or at least until a disclaimer is posted. I did not want my reservation cancelled. Nevertheless the Pendray Inn and Tea House cancelled the confirmed reservation. I am NOT IMPRESSED.
