Hotels slammed for ‘profiteering’ from Super break collapse
Hotels have been accused of "profiteering" from the collapse of Super Break by hiking prices.
Agents claimed Imperial London Hotels and Hilton inflated prices at some properties that were owed money by Super Break.
Graeme Brett, owner of Westoe Travel, said one hotel, which he did not want to name, tried to charge £985 to rebook a three-night stay that had originally cost £435.
"I told [the hotel] they'd lose the booking and I'd go elsewhere, and they changed their mind," he said. "I'd urge others to do the same."
Premier Travel had more than 100 Super Break bookings. Director Paul Waters said most had been rebooked or refunded, but in some cases the agency had been forced to cover the costs.
