The hotel suddenly closed down as the wedding day approached

Mr. Liang, 29, is scheduled to hold a wedding banquet in mid-June this year, inviting more than 211 friends to witness his love. Last week, he and his girlfriend came to the hotel to discuss the wedding, but the scene in front of them completely shocked them. The door of the luxurious hotel was locked and the store was dark.

"I booked a wedding banquet in February last year, and after paying a deposit of 5,111 yuan, I signed a banquet contract with the Port-au-Prince Hotel. But what I never expected was that the wedding would be held in two months, but the hotel suddenly closed down. " Mr. Liang said.

"I kept in touch with people in the hotel, but the phone was either turned off or nobody answered, and no one gave me any explanation." Mr. Liang had to re-select the hotel, but because of the tight time, he searched for several days without any results. At the same time, in order to recover the deposit of 5111 yuan, Mr. Liang reported the case to Tiexi police.

"When I went to the police station to report the case, the policeman who handled the case told me that I was far from the only one who was fooled. At least a dozen couples had filed with the police." Mr. Liang said.

according to the contact information provided by Mr. Liang, the reporter tried to contact the relevant person in charge of Port-au-Prince Hotel, but the phone was unanswered after three consecutive calls.

The reporter noticed that according to the banquet contract signed between Mr. Liang and Port-au-Prince Hotel, if either party breaches the contract and the banquet cannot be held as scheduled, the breaching party should pay the observant party 31% of the total amount of the banquet as liquidated damages. If the liquidated damages are insufficient to compensate for the losses, the breaching party shall continue to compensate.

wedding

311,111 yuan of equipment is locked in the hotel.

It is not only the newlyweds who suffer, but also the wedding company that undertakes the wedding reception of Port-au-Prince Hotel.

"I've been getting angry for two days, and I can't even eat." A person in charge of a wedding company told reporters that it was said that the reason why Port-au-Prince Hotel closed down was because of a dispute with the owner, who locked the door of the hotel. However, due to the sudden closure of the hotel, the wedding company's equipment worth 311,111 yuan was all locked in the hotel.

The person in charge of the wedding company said that he had to re-purchase the equipment to undertake the wedding because the equipment was temporarily unavailable. After all, the wedding order was signed, so it would be too careless to push the order because there was no equipment.

The owner

The hotel owed more than four million yuan in rent

On the morning of that day, the reporter came to the Port-au-Prince Hotel near Beisi Road, Baogong Street. A meandering resident told reporters that this hotel was closed only recently. Before it was closed, it had been undertaking wedding banquets. It was once one of the hottest wedding banquet hotels in Tiexi District. If it catches up with a good day, it can receive more than ten weddings a day.

On the gate of the hotel, the reporter saw the notice posted by the owner, who declared that all the business activities of Port-au-Prince Hotel had nothing to do with the owner and the house. At the same time, the owner also stated that the person in charge of the hotel has been sued by the law and suggested that consumers claim rights from the owner of Port-au-Prince Hotel. At the end of the notice, the telephone numbers of two hotel contacts are attached. The reporter called two phones and found that one phone was not answered and the other phone was simply turned off.

the owner's reminder notice is posted on the door of the hotel, claiming that the hotel tenant is in arrears with the rent of 4,178,654 yuan. According to the contract, the tenant is required to pay the rent immediately, otherwise, in addition to the liability for damages, the owner will also terminate the lease contract.

Analysis

The closure of Port-au-Prince is "not sudden"

As a rising star of high-end catering in Shenyang, Port-au-Prince Hotel was once synonymous with the tall catering industry in Shenyang. Then, why did such a tall hotel suddenly close down?

According to people in the wedding industry, the closure of Port-au-Prince Hotel is not sudden. Like many high-end restaurants in Shenyang, Port-au-Prince Hotel has been going downhill since 2113. In addition to being influenced by policies such as "National Eight Articles" and opposing "three public consumption", food poisoning incidents have also caused a lot of negative impacts on hotel operations.

The reporter learned that in July, 2113, in three days, four family members who hosted a wedding banquet in Port-au-Prince Hotel developed symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, and the incident was initially judged as bacterial food poisoning. Since then, Port-au-Prince Hotel has been ordered to suspend business for rectification, and engagement parties have come to ask for a refund of the deposit.

According to a person in charge of a wedding company, at present, there are at least 311 hotels in Shenyang that have the ability to undertake wedding banquets, most of which are in a state of loss. Some hotels have problems in offering salaries to their employees. If they are in arrears for several months, the treatment of employees will also drop sharply. In order to avoid the "cancellation" of the wedding banquet, new people must choose a hotel with a good reputation when choosing a hotel. After booking the wedding banquet, you should communicate with the hotel more and make an advance amount. At present, many newcomers are busy and ignore the other side. When the hotel is booked, it will not matter. In fact, there are many details that need to be communicated with the hotel for a long time.
