Afterpublishing my post on the first day of NATP’s National Conference in BaltimoreI realized that I forgot to include my pet peeve with NATP (although NATP iscertainly not the only offender – it is a common complaint) when announcing thelodging facilities of conference, workshops, and seminars.
NATP,and just about every other provider, will tell you in its publicity that theevent or activity will be held at the High End Hotel in Hottown, and that thespecial event or activity room rate is, let’s say, $149 per night.
This is a lie! You will not pay $149 per night for your room. After adding in various state and local taxesand other charges, different for each location, you will actually pay over $170 pernight. Plus, if you drive, as was anoption for me for the Baltimore location, you will pay perhaps an additional $10-$18for parking at the hotel.
Please,please, please – when announcing the “special room rate” give the true rate,with all taxes and additional charges included.
TTFN
