The hotel wasn't cheap enough?
Ban them for life
What kind of hotel charges guests on check out? They’ll go bust.
Classic young stupid idiots. In another Country , and they think no punishment etc. A few days in the Palma Hilton , and then, should have not been released until the bill was paid.
So the only penalty for skipping out on your hotel charge is that you'd have to pay it....nothing else? Not sure that is sending the right message to future criminals.
