I booked a nice room with a window, turned up and the receptionist at 10pm said they had overbooked. The room on offer was one with no windows, basically in the basement. It was hot and claustrophobic. No signal was available on the phone, but you could buy internet access. It was presented as a take or leave situation, but at 10pm what option do you have? A refund of the difference in price is up to me to ring customer services!

Hopefully they don't place you in the basement, there's no windows there. The hotel is quiet old and the nearest restaurants and convenience stores are 20 minutes away walking
