Has anyone told the guests who are planning to stay there or have Christmas meals ?
See e.g. http://www.waterlooinn.com/d/waterlooinn...dinner.pdf
The Dec 15th close date is rather surprising because their Christmas brunch is a local tradition. We've gone to it several times. They told me last year they planned to serve upwards of 1,000 meals on Christmas Day alone. With each guest spending $40 for the buffet plus drinks I'd have thought this would be particularly profitable. It would also be an opportunity to thank us for our patronage.
Waterloo Inn to close in December; economic factors blamed
Quote:The Waterloo Inn Conference Hotel will close on Dec. 15, hotel president Mary D’Alton said Tuesday in a press release.
“Without substantial capital reinvestment, the business is no longer economically sustainable,” she said.
“Primary for us is making sure our employees are treated very fairly and that our clients are cared for.”
Events already booked up for dates until Dec. 15 will take place as expected, the release said.
