If you stay at the Union Street Guest House in Hudson, New York, you might want to keep your complaints to yourself. The New York Post says the hotel charges couples who book weddings $500 for every bad review posted on Yelp and other sites by their guests. It’s actually spelled out in an online policy. When negative reviews do make it online, the innkeepers typically respond aggressively, blaming the reviewer for their bad experiences.
