The pre-pay is pretty annoying. And the if you cancel too late, we'll take all your money *really* annoys me. So much so that I booked on-line, direct with the hotel at a higher rate for a nicer room, but still better than the rate for the alternate hotel. And no-prepay and cancel by 4pm the

One might even speculate that, if a sufficiently large number of people refused to accept the Hotel Concorde's terms and conditions (booking policies, cancellation policies, or something else) and voted by refusing to book there, the IAOC might get the message far more clearly than any
