: At 6:30 pm, a friend arrived to visit me at the hotel. He stopped at the reception desk, and they called me and said I would have to escort him up. I came down and did. Five minutes later the desk called again, telling me that I would have to pay a fee if my friend continued sitting with me in the room. I explained that he wasn't spending the night, and that we were just chatting before going out to dinner. He had arrived with no bag of any kind that might have suggested an overnight visit. The desk told me that it didn't matter -- that hotel policy required that any guest who had a visitor spend more than 20 minutes in the room be charged a fee. My friend is younger than I am, has a gym body, and was wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I believe if he had been my age and dressed in business attire, this insulting demand for money would not have occurred. When I checked out of the hotel the next morning, I was told there was no manager on duty to talk with, and no one from the hotel company has responded to a letter I sent. I strongly urge all readers not to stay at any of the Princess hotels in Central America.
