The
owner
of
this
establishment,
Vreni,
cancelled
my
4
August,
2020
three
room
reservation
6
days
before
our
stay,
without
my
knowledge.
The
reservation
was
made
in
January
2020.
It
was
for
a
family
trip
to
celebrate
two
50
year,
and
one
80
year
birthday.
When
I
made
the
reservation,
I
did
receive
the
emails
for
each
of
the
rooms,
including
reservation
confirmation
numbers.
So
I
knew
the
reservation
was
valid.
I
still
have
those
emails.
Fortunately,
I
called
the
night
before
the
stay,
to
request
a
room
upgrade
on
one
of
the
reservations.
That
is
when
I
found
out
about
the
cancellation.
At
that
point,
the
three
rooms
were
already
re-booked.
Vreni
told
me
that
she
had
send
an
email
6
days
before
our
stay,
supposedly
asking
to
confirm
the
reservation.
I
did
not
receive
the
email.
I
asked
them
to
re-send
that
email,
for
me
to
see
why
I
had
not
received
it,
and
to
validate
what
I
was
told
by
Vreni.
As
of
today,
I
still
don’t
have
that
email.
They
also
have
my
cell
phone
number,
but
have
failed
to
ever
call
me,
to
notify
me
of
the
cancellation,
nor
have
they
followed
up
with
me
on
anything
since.
They
did
end
up
coordinating
with
a
different
hotel
in
Gais,
at
a
cheaper
rate.
That
hotel
is
substandard,
so
I
declined.
Vreni
stated
that
there
was
nothing
else
they
could
do.
I
am
not
sure
why
Vreni
was
not
able
to
make
contact
with
me
before
she
cancelled
my
reservation,
and
how
she
would
cancel
my
reservation
without
hearing
from
me
personally.
I
am
still
waiting
on
any
sort
of
follow
up.
Luckily,
I
was
able
to
book
three
rooms
at
a
different
hotel,
last
minute,
the
night
before
the
stay.
As
far
as
the
email
issue,
I
have
been
in
email
contact
with
an
Appenzell
Restaurant
and
a
local
Taxi
service,
since
January,
and
have
not
missed
a
single
email
from
the
two
businesses.
Those
plans
came
through.
I
have
also
been
sending
emails
back
and
forth
with
the
new
Hotel
(Boutique
Hotel
Bären
in
Gonten)
that
I
had
to
book
rooms
with
last
minute.
No
issues!!
Well,
because
of
the
issue
described
above,
I
ended
up
finding
a
Gem,
the
Boutique
Hotel
Bären
in
Gonten:
I
highly
recommend
this
Hotel,
and
I
am
now
glad
that
the
above
described
incident
happened,
otherwise
I
would
have
missed
out
on
the
Boutique
Hotel
Bären
in
Gonten.
The
Boutique
Hotel
Bären
in
Gonten
accommodated
everything
I
needed,
again,
last
minute.
It
was
around
22:30/10:30PM
at
night
when
I
called
there,
the
night
before
my
stay.
They
let
me
check
in
early
the
day
of
the
stay,
all
rooms
were
on
the
same
floor,
the
rooms
had
the
traditional
Appenzeller
wooden
look,
everything
was
very
clean,
and
newly
remodeled.
All
staff
was
very
friendly.
They
even
welcomed
us
with
an
arrival
reception,
drinks
and
a
local
snack.
At
check
out,
Hotel
management
came
down
to
thank
us
personally
for
the
stay.
On
future
visits
to
the
Appenzell
region,
it
will
be
at
the
Boutique
Hotel
Bären
in
Gonten.
