Charged without authorization

I was charged on my credit card the day we were suppose to check in but I had signed up for pay at site. So they charged me before it was even check in time and before we even got there. Also it would’ve been nice to have the option to be able to pay with debt card but they only accept credit cards.

The hotel did not have shampoo or conditioner available in the room, only body wash. So we had to go out and buy our own. Which we’ve never had to do at a hotel before!
