“Last week hubby and I made a hotel reservation for 4 nights at CasaLinda hotel Abuja, through bookings. Everything was paid for and finalized. Only for us to receive a shocking message and call, whilst preparing to go there this afternoon. saying our reservation has been canceled because my husband is Italian. I told them the last time we went to Italy was 6months ago. These people refused and said they can’t let us into their premises because they are scared of us bringing coronavirus. Then to even make matters worst, they only offered to pay 70% of the full payment we made, saying 30% is non-refundable. We demand a full refund and apology hotel casalinda.
