They didn’t have the upgrade for my room on the higher floor and tried to give me a queen size bed. So I had to settle for a lower floor just to get a king size room. Rooms are ok but not what I expected.

I booked via Expedia one night room king size bed. I Check-in around 11:30 PM with my wife. At check-in I was told my reserved King was “not available” and I was pushed to accept a downgrade to two Queens, with “late checkout” offered as an incentive. I declined because I booked a King. After insisting, a King room was suddenly “found,” presented as an “upgrade,” even though it was the room type I originally reserved. When I then asked for the late checkout that had just been offered, I was told it was “not possible.” This back-and-forth felt misleading and unprofessional. Before assigning my room, I confirmed parking costs because my Expedia booking included a parking credit. The front desk told me self-parking is $35 and the difference would be complimentary from the hotel. Despite that, I was charged $9.74. When I called the hotel to understand the charge, the operator after taking my room number said it was simply the “difference in parking fees.” I explained that the front desk had promised it would be complimentary. She replied it was not noted in my check-in notes and asked me for the receptionist’s name. Expecting guests to track staff names to enforce what the hotel promised is unreasonable. The call felt dismissive and unhelpful. Multiple elevators to the 19th floor made creaking sounds and did not ride smoothly. This needs urgent maintenance. In addition, there was a coffee machine but no water provided to make coffee.
