Tinx explained how she just got to France and is now tanning on her balcony.
The TikToker added: “This is because I went down to the pool and I sat on the lounge chair and they asked me for a reservation.
“They then said it would be €30 (£25).”
Tinx was shocked to hear this and told the hotel that she was a guest.
But they still reminded her that the hefty charge would have to be paid.
Tinx added: “They said I can get in the swimming pool without paying but you have to pay to use a chair.
“On principle I’m not paying for a lounge chair!”
She cheekily mentioned in the caption of her video that she would be “eating a twix from the mini bar”.
Social media users were quick to weigh in with their opinions in the comments.
One wrote: “Whaaaat wait! What hotel is that? That’s insaneeee.”
Another said: “I might be really sheltered but I’ve never heard of this in my entire life.”
“A beach chair you could argue because they set them out. But a pool chair that literally sits there all the time…,” a third said, accompanied by a rolling eyes emoji.
Another TikToker said: “This happened to me in Vegas too, we could go in the pool but couldn’t sit.”
