Staff AMAZING! Hotels.com dropped the ball.

I booked my stay in April. Hotels.com was apparently notified in mid-August that the hotel was overbooked and my reservation was cancelled. Hotels.com did not notify me. I went to check in and my reservation was not there. The hotel had a specific record of when it notified Hotels.com. I had emails from Hotels.com saying “your upcoming trip!” as recently as 2 days before. My app showed the reservation as current and today. Luckily the hotel had INCREDIBLE customer service. They were totally sold out. Except… they had something else they could offer. It was a last resort. The whole town was sold out so it was this or sleep in the car. It was a conference room with a sofa bed. They brought in a roll away so my aunt and I didn’t have to share a bed. The staff was amazing!!!!! Hotels.com was not.
