Rio:
I
am
a
current
guest
until
mid
August.
Happy
to
update
my
review
Rio
if
you
fully
resolve.
But
please
don’t
ask
me
to
return
to
reception
desk
-
too
stressful.
Brief
summary:
-
booked
5
rooms
back
in
Oct
22
for
11
days
commencing
28th
Jul
23
-
arrived
and
hotel
overbooked
-
3
rooms
downgraded
-
still
charged
same
cost
as
original
5
rooms
-
out
of
pocked
by
over
$400
-
staff
deliberately
obfuscated
-
trying
to
convince
me
there
was
no
difference
between
Deluxe
Suite
main
building
and
Deluxe
Masquerade
Tower
(then
why
the
price?
Plus
stayed
before).
-
took
3
calls,
two
receptionists,
and
then
a
supervisor
before
they
were
honest
-
I
stayed
before
but
had
paperwork
to
prove
to
them
the
difference,
and
a
copy
of
travel
agent
room
guidance!
Background:
Booked
5
rooms
back
in
October
2022
for
July
2023.
Paid
$344
more
for
a
Deluxe
Suite
in
main
building
but
was
put
in
Deluxe
Masquerade
tower.
Complained
about
it
at
guest
services
x3
and
front
desk
all
stating
they
were
the
same
-
king
size
bed
and
strip
view.
Eventually,
the
supervisor
came
out
when
I
showed
the
receptionist
the
price
difference
(she
sighed
as
though
I
had
done
something
wrong
-
uncomfortable).
The
supervisor
started
stating
the
same
thing.
However,
I
also
had
booked
Deluxe
Masquerade
at
the
same
time
as
the
Deluxe
Suite
(in
fact
had
booked
5
different
rooms)
and
so
could
show
the
price
difference.
Plus
had
stayed
previously
so
knew
there
was
a
difference
-
plus
I
had
a
copy
of
there
room
brochure
for
travel
agents.
Eventually,
the
supervisor
was
honest
and
stated
they
had
been
fully
booked.
He
also
stated
that
they
do
not
guarantee
which
room
you
get
-
though
clearly
they
guarantee
still
charging
you
for
what
you
thought
you
paid
for.
I
also
booked
a
Strip
view
for
my
mum,
sister,
and
son
and
paid
more
for
this.
But
they
got
booked
into
a
mountain
view.
Still
charged
for
the
strip
view.
Eventually
they
gave
me
two
nights
free
for
two
of
the
rooms.
It
doesn’t
cover
the
full
cost
of
the
over-charging
so
still
overpaid
by
a
few
hundred
$,
but
they
clearly
are
trained
to
wear
you
down.
***What
is
frustrating
is
that
if
they
were
just
honest
about
the
over-booking
situation
and
charged
me
correctly
for
the
rooms
they
actually
gave
me,
then
at
least
we
all
could
move
on
from
it.
But
they
deliberately
obfuscated
making
it
more
frustrating
until
I
stood
my
ground
and
they
eventually
relented
and
told
the
truth.
If
I
hadn’t
booked
other
rooms
at
the
same
time,
I
would
have
had
no
comparator
to
demonstrate
and
they
would
not
likely
have
relented.
Such
a
disappointed
start
to
my
11
day
holiday
with
family.
One
other
thing
-
my
masquerade
room
is
very
noisy
-
works
and
roads
outside.
Another
reason
why
I
booked
a
Deluxe
Suite.
Bed
is
extremely
comfortable.
