Nothing like getting to our hotel, couldn’t get in our room, house keeping lets us in, someone’s stuff was in there. Back to the front desk, they go to change our room, I said, there was a sign on that door that you’re trying to move us to. They move us floors. We’re getting ready to go to the casino, someone comes right in our hotel room that they just moved us too. Funny thing, come to find out, it was the same individuals from the first room. They double booked us both for the same room, and then when they switched us rooms, they double booked us again. Management gave us a refund for our room and paid for our dinner. It doesn’t change anything. I don’t feel comfortable staying there ever again.

Prepaid for room through Expedia. Arrived at 5am due to delayed flights. Was told we arrived too late, books for day closed. Asked if I could rent for current time, still checking out at 11:00am, told I can’t check in until 4:00pm. I paid for the room from 4:00pm-11:00am the following day. Why couldn’t I have the room? Security guard was even shocked. I returned to the desk for information as to whom I could contact for complaint. A manager was then present and just handed me a business card. Very unprofessional and inhospitable. I’m disgusted and very disappointed in my Expedia and Derby City Gaming and Hotel.
