Actually I believe I did understand the original point. I was attempting to
counter it, by pointing out that any renter, at any rate, has reasonable
expectations that a facility will be usable. When a hotel makes choices that
would render the facility unusuable for us, they have violated the core of the
agreement, no matter the nature of the problem that renders the facility
unusable.
I do not see the mere fact of any renovations as making a place unusable.
However, failure to honor reservations, running jackhammers next to meeting
rooms, and the like, do.
So, again, I think there is a big difference between things that alter degrees
of "convenience" or, perhaps, environmental aesthetics, versus things that
make the facility unusable.
I see this is a simple issue that is not very subtle. If a hotel cannot
guarantee reasonable usability, then no rate is low enough.
