Watters to Couple Whose Wedding Was Ruined Because of Migrants: ‘The City Is Probably Paying the Hotel Twice the Rate’ You Had

EXCERPT:

MORETTI: “No phone call, no text message, no e-mail from them about any cancellations. I called them up and the first things out of their mouth — I asked them about the migrants moving — going in there, I said, 'Is it going to be safe for my guests and ourselves to be there?' They said, 'No, you have nothing to worry about.' And in my heart I'm thinking, 'Okay, cool.' They're like, 'Your reservation and your contract has been cancelled.' And I go, 'Excuse me? Would you repeat that for me, please?' So, basically they said, 'No, there’s nothing we can do. Everything’s been take care of. It's a complete madhouse in here and there’s nothing I can do. Talk to Choice.' And they turned around and I did, I called Choice twice. The first time I called, I was on hold for 45 minutes waiting for a supervisor, and I talked to one person, they said there's nothing they can do, nothing they can do, 'Call the hotel.' They played the back-and-forth game. And soon as I did speak with the supervisor, they turned around and the supervisor informed me that, 'There’s nothing I can do. You have a wonderful day. Bye-bye,' and hung up on me."
WATTERS: "Well, because the city is probably paying twice the average rate for hotel rooms, because the taxpayers are putting it up."
MIFSUD: "Absolutely. It's all government money, yeah."
