Question about renting a facility

  • FatHobbit
    I'm trying to rent a facility and they have a web page that says it costs $300 for two hours and it gives the two hour blocks that it's available.

    On the same site they have another page that says it costs $500 for two hours and gives different blocks of time.

    I called to rent the space and they said that both pages are wrong and directed me to a third web page on the same site with different blocks of time. The last web page has an hour in between each block. I want it during that hour and they told me I could rent two separate two hour blocks and have it for the middle hour two, but that makes it $1000. :(

    I emailed them and told them that's false advertising and I want the space for $300/2 hours at the original times. Do I have any leverage here? My next step is to threaten to contact the BBB, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm thinking about just looking somewhere else, but I really like this space. (Not $1000 like, but I do like it.)

    Terrible business, but I'd find another facility. If they can't get their act together on their website they likely won't have their act together during your event. Not worth it.
