PRIVATE HOTELS
Otago Tariff Charges
By Telegraph—Press Association,
Dunedin, July 8.
At a meeting of Otago private hotelkeepers it was agreed that in future bed and breakfast bookings would be for one night only, after which full daily tariff must be paid. The president stated that while it might be possible in Wellington and Auckland for certain hotels to run successfully by letting a percentage of rooms on lied and breakfast tariff, it was not possible in Otago, where there was not a large daily continuity of business. Furthermore, Otago hotels had not increased tariffs pro rata with North Island hotels. In any case it was unreasonable for the travelling public to expect to occupy rooms for a numIter of days and have full-time use of those rooms, bathrooms, lounge, fires, writing-rooms, and other facilities as offered to full-time guests and then want to pay only a bed and breakfast tariff.
