I asked and paid for a King size bed and a nicer room. I got ripped of entirely with a queen bed and the smallest room I have ever stayed in. There was a wedding and it was extremely noisy and the only accommodation the hotel was willing to give was a bottle of wine. When I said we don’t drink they said sorry there’s nothing we can do….unbelievable.
