I
made
the
reservation
through
booking
and
called
the
hotel
twice
before
the
trip
to
confirm
that
it
would
be
ok
to
check
in
at
1am,
as
it
was
my
flight
time,
they
said
it
would
be
ok.
I
arrived
at
the
airport
and
the
internet
SIM
card
I
bought
in
my
home
country
didn't
work,
I
managed
to
order
an
Uber
using
the
airport's
Wi-Fi.
I
arrived
at
the
hotel
and
they
informed
me
that
they
were
overbooked
and
that
they
could
NOT
honor
the
reservation
that
was
CONFIRMED.
They
had
room
for
1
night,
but
they
only
do
reservations
for
the
week
(which
was
what
I
reserved),
and
they
couldn't
open
exception
for
me
to
stay
1
night,
even
if
I
was
in
that
situation
because
of
them
not
honoring
my
1
week
reservation.
They
simply
said
that
they
could
not
do
anything.
I
argued
that
they
couldn't
do
that,
that
that's
not
how
they
do
business,
that
I
came
from
another
country
and
had
been
traveling
for
24
hours
and
that
I
wasn't
there
just
to
see
if
they
had
a
room,
I
came
because
I
made
a
reservation
that
should
be
honored,
but
the
woman
(Robin)
just
said
that
she
couldn't
do
anything.
I
asked
her
to
help
me
solve
the
problem
(which
she
caused)
and
she
called
another
hotel
and
they
had
space,
but
it
would
take
3
hours
on
foot
to
get
there.
-
I
had
no
internet
and
no
access
to
the
network
to
make
calls,
so
I
asked
her
kindly
to
call
a
taxi
for
me,
she
couldn't
find
one.
-
I
asked
to
use
the
wi-fi
and
she
DIDN'T
ALLOW
IT
because
I
wasn't
a
guest
-
I
asked
her
to
call
an
Uber
for
me
and
she
REFUSED
claiming
it
would
come
out
of
her
pocket
(not
even
me
paying
with
money
I
had
on
hand)
-
I
asked
to
stay
at
reception
until
a
nearby
store
opened,
she
said
NO.
And
she
started
expelling
me
from
the
hotel
I
started
crying
and
said
I
wasn't
going
to
leave
there
because
of
security,
I
was
ALONE
at
NIGHT
in
an
UNKNOWN
COUNTRY,
with
a
suitcase,
in
a
hotel
on
the
side
of
the
road
that
refused
to
honor
the
reservation.
She
threatened
to
call
the
police,
she
didn't
but
she
kept
threatening
me.
I
insisted
a
little
more
and
she
printed
a
paper
with
instructions
from
Google
maps
on
how
to
get
to
a
24-hour
restaurant
so
that
I
could
use
the
wi-fi
there
and
call
an
Uber
to
another
hotel.
The
restaurant
was
a
25-minute
walk
away
on
the
side
of
the
highway,
pitch
black,
almost
no
cars
passing
by,
simply
sinister.
She
called
it
"help"
and
said
I
wasn't
her
problem
and
she
couldn't
allow
me
to
be
at
the
front
desk.
Defeated,
I
walked
out
the
door,
took
a
few
steps
towards
the
parking
lot
and
despaired,
I
couldn't
move,
I
couldn't
believe
the
ABSURD
that
was
happening,
I
had
never
been
so
humiliated
in
my
life
and
I
had
never
felt
so
helpless.
I
only
thought
about
the
worst
and
the
absurdity
that
was
happening.
Without
internet
and
unable
to
make
calls,
alone,
on
the
street,
in
the
dark,
the
only
option
I
could
think
of
was
to
call
911
to
ask
for
help.
Thank
God
the
call
went
through,
I
told
them
what
happened,
they
sent
two
police
cars
to
where
I
was,
they
called
another
hotel
and
there
was
a
vacancy,
they
kindly
took
me
there.
As
it
was
Formula
1
weekend
in
Austin,
the
city
was
PACKED,
there
was
almost
no
accommodation
left,
the
few
that
were
left
were
at
stratospheric
prices,
far
beyond
my
budget.
I
managed
to
stay
at
the
alternative
hotel
for
3
days,
and
with
no
other
option,
I
had
to
buy
a
flight
ticket
back
to
my
country
as
I
had
nowhere
to
stay
to
continue
the
trip.
I
lost
the
original
ticket,
I
lost
the
plans
I
had,
I
lost
money
and
I
lost
the
desire
to
travel.
I'm
in
depression.
And
they
said
that
the
other
guests
who
would
arrive
after
me
would
receive
the
same
treatment
and
would
not
be
assigned
a
room,
so
I
would
be
very
worried
about
reserving
this
hotel
if
I
were
you.
Booking
said
they
can't
do
anything,
and
I
honestly
lost
trust
in
the
platform,
if
they
don't
support
the
customer
when
they
see
the
absurdity
that
the
accommodation
did,
they
are
complicit
and
it
shows
that
as
a
guest,
you
have
no
support.
I
do
not
recommend
the
hotel
or
booking
ever
again.
