RE: Holiday Home from Hell
Vote with our wallets indeed. The French Hotel was in Nancy, a nice town but like many places, has an ugly industrial bit an we were travelling back from a kayak holiday in Slovenia. To be fair the booking was ad-hoc but what we ended up with was a bit rough, my friend and I had single rooms and were both glad to see the morning and to hit the road again.

Standards have definitely fallen as the centralisation of control of these places has accelerated.
Kayak and all of this arbitrage services have actually increased prices.
They buy up all the accommodation and then raise the price.
Buying directly is often cheaper but it's difficult to find direct contact numbers sometimes which cause frictional aspects.
