a sad experience

I rented a king-size room and they gave me a disabled one. They said it was hotels.com's fault. The rent was very expensive, and the hotel's pool area was under renovation.

We traveled across the country to take our kids to the beach. We had the worse view in the resort, and it smelled like food the entire time. No way someone should be charged several thousand dollars for the weekend for this. This room should be discounted for no more than $100/night.
