Shankar, I have visited Goa several times and as a disabled customer have always received excellent treatment. Which hotel were you trying to book? Pranav From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > On Behalf Of [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 15, 2025 6:16 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [AI] purple fest 2025, unpleasant experience with hotel booking. Dear Friends, Greetings. Yesterday, I had an unusual and unpleasant experience with a hotel, which I feel is important to share. A couple of my friends and I are planning to visit Goa between October 8th and 13th to attend the purple fest. I called a hotel to inquire about the price for two standard rooms. During my first call, they saw my photo through Truecaller and asked about my disability. I honestly explained my situation. They asked me to hold while they checked room availability, but they never called me back. Later, I called them again and was informed that two standard rooms for five nights would cost nearly ₹55,000. Out of curiosity, I called the same hotel from another number. This time, they assumed I was a non-disabled customer and responded immediately, confirming room availability and quoting ₹2,500 (including tax) for five nights and six days. This clear difference in treatment was upsetting. I kindly request the concerned organization to take action regarding this discriminatory Behaviour. Thanks and regards, shankar -- Disclaimer: 1.
