Growing up Italian, or maybe just raised with manners, I was taught "there is always room for one more." Apparently, that is not the case at Paws Up Resort. After spending most of yesterday in the emergency room at St. Pat's hospital, I was too sore to do anything except lay on a massage table this morning. While resting in my estate at Paws Up, a dear friend from home called me to let me know he heard of my terrible ATV accident. He had just arrived, ironically enough, to Missoula to start photography school and wanted to drive 45 minutes out to the resort to see me.
Upon asking the staff (why I felt I needed permission I have no idea....manners, I guess) if a friend could join, I was told "No. We cannot accommodate." Apparently, it was an exclusive weekend, and even though my boyfriend had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency, his spot was scooped up. (The resort was only at 50% capacity according to the front desk gal I asked) I offered to PAY for my friend. Still the answer was "No." The night before, seats on either side of me were empty. Yet, I heard other VIP/paying guests complaining that they ran out of kobe beef. (These people paid over $5K for the weekend "experience") I was told, "If you want to have your dinner delivered to your room, you two could munch on it together." REALLY?
Ummm.....Maybe I should take John's advice and talk to an attorney about my ATV accident...
