My husband and I booked an evening at Bel Air as a special get away. Unfortunately our son was seriously unwell the day we were scheduled to go and we were not able to make the trip (he had had a snowboarding accident in the previous days and there was a complication). When we called to see if we could cancel or postpone we were told that because it was within 30 days there was no reimbursement and no option of postponing the visit. It was recommended I find someone else who could use the reservation. Who can do that - especially people who are coming in from another area? When I pressed, I was told that if I send a medical note for my son we could reschedule. So, to be able to get any value from the over $500 we paid for an evening, I need to drag my son, who has a fractured pelvic bone, to a clinic or to the emergency room. I should add that before booking I searched the website and the Frequently Asked Questions page and found nothing on cancellation policy so assumed they would operate as most hotels do, with a cancellation fee less than the full booking price. My mistake. In addition, there was zero compassion expressed by the staff, just the repetition of policy. Book at your own risk.
