[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 749998, member: 19245"] If the hotel is not connected to the retreat and you chose it out of several, then you will need to pay because there are always refundable hotels available. You made it sound like it was your only option. So the retreat is being held near the hotel, but not at the hotel. I would reach out directly to the hotel and tell them that a flare up of a condition precludes the trip. If you provide a doctor's note, they might take pity and return your money or part of your money. Is it some time out or happening soon? If you don't get a refund , go to the hotel anyway. You won't be stressed with M and will have a great time. A nice vacation at the hotel would be healing. Check out the sights nearby and perhaps stop along the train ride to explore new areas. Sit down with maps and have fun planning your adventure. Make the trip yours. Instead of losing money, you will take from it a great, restful, romantic trip! Just call the hotel. They will be very kind. It is more difficult for them to turn you down on the phone, than an email. If they say no, nicely ask to speak to the manager. Did you book it through the hotel site? If through booking.com, expedia, etc, they will call for you, but you are still not guaranteed a refund. I didn't get one 15 minutes later and the trip was 7 months out... Often, they will talk to the owner and get back to you. Just try. Even if they say that it is against policy, they will be polite. No worries. Yes, I agree, do not spend any more money to go to the retreat. They were extremely rude. Now, make lemonade out of lemons. Go and plan your romantic getaway. All areas have fun things to see and explore. My son received a check for his work. I told him to email them with a quick thank you, apology, and explanation of family emergency. He knows that he blew it. He had a nervous collapse, of sorts. He was worried about his big brother with his illness.
