Default Hotel Taxis

Grrr..... *wails and nashes teeth vividly*

What's with the increase of compulsary hotel taxis at some mid level hotels. Movenpick, Traders, Chelsea and others - all have "metered" hotel taxis. Yeah - metered alright, but racked up compared to a real taxi.

Also, real taxis tend to (sometimes!) know where they are going.

If I want to take a normal taxi - I should be allowed to take one! Not have to use your expensive and a bit crap "luxury" cars to make you more of a profit.

Grrr.....

Surely all you have to do is walk 10 yards away from the hotel and wait for a "proper" taxi to go past?
