This happened with a New York hotel. They were trying to charge $500 for bad reviews http://edition.cnn.com/2014/08/04/travel/bad-hotel-review-fi...

Thank you internet (Yelp, Tripadvisor) for putting them to shame!

It actually seems to me that they may have copied the idea from that other hotel, the wording is very similar:

From the CNN article:

"Please know that despite the fact that wedding couples love Hudson and our Inn, your friends and families may not,"

Guardian article: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/nov/19/tripadvisor-c...

“Despite the fact that repeat customers and couples love our hotel, your friends and family may not.”

I'm glad someone found this; I was really confused because I recognised the phrasing, and thought "I've read this story... but it was about wedding guests...?"

Thought of that case too.

Seriously, making a mistake for the first time is one thing, but seeing the shitstorm that ensued after that and repeating it is another.
