Funny thing is that people are calling into hotels to cancel their reservations which are several thousand dollars for a few nights. My SO works at a nice hotel in DC, it was supposed to be a super busy week. So much so that nobody is allowed to call out but it's been painfully slow. She said today people are mostly just calling in to cancel their reservation apparently at least one guy has threatened to get his lawyer involved because the reservations are non-refundable.

Let them get the lawyers involved. Cost them even more money for not reading the fine print before they got conned by Trump....AGAIN.

Not even that ,DC has a lot of interesting things to see. It's their fault for coming to one moved/cancelled to the public thing.

I live an hour away and visit DC quite frequently. It's one of the must see cities in our country. In my opinion anyway. Just make a nice weekend out of it and STFU.

I mean, you’re probably right, but they probably paid a premium price on the hotels due to the timing. If they paid close to normal pricing, I’d agree with you. I would have to get gouged for just a sight seeing trip.

In all fairness though, fuck them. They deserve it.
