[Geysers] The big oops

[Karen Webb]

Just wanted to thank all of you who replied.  We're moving in the right 
direction and have contacted (or tried to contact) all the places 
mentioned in emails sent to us.
    Interestingly, no one responded on the Yellowstone Country Inn -- 
for the sake of interest, it seems to have some nice amenities including 
a hot tub, but they ask for the *entire* amount up front, paid through 
PayPal.  This is the first time I've encountered this policy anywhere in 
the area in or around the park, and I found it a little creepy (brought 
to mind an occasion when AmFac was operating out of Aurora, CO, and 
managed not to refund a $300 charge made against our credit card -- that 
represented the first-night charge for a high end room in the Inn, but 
when our reservations changed, they neither applied it to our new 
reservation nor refunded it.  If we hadn't tracked it down on our charge 
statement and spent 6 weeks agitating, we would have been out that 
money.  Charging the entire stay this far in advance is scary, in case 
they were to just forget to refund the money through PayPal if we had to 
cancel...)  Maybe this is why they still have rooms available 4th of 
July week despite the fact that they're on the web and accessible.
