hotel rooms near Venice Italy mistakenly advertised and sold online at one-hundredth of a euro
Edited on Sat Aug-15-09 03:47 PM by demoleft
"A hotel near Venice has accepted that its rooms were mistakenly advertised online at a mere one-hundredth of a euro instead of up to 150 euros (£129).

Nearly 230 people took advantage of the offer, booking on average more than six nights per person at the Crowne Plaza.

The hotel is run by the Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) which says it will honour bookings made while the mistake was online.

The company say the mistake was made at the offices of IHG in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States."

BBC, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8202842.stm

ooops. sorry fot the Company there, that will honour the bookings anyway - in full peak season.
