"I message the hotel in advance requesting early check in. I get the typical automated reply from email bot saying "We will do whatever we can to accomodate but cannot gaurantee... blah blah". I assume it will be fine.
Arrive day of and request in person to check in a few hours early. The poor girl at the front desk, with tears in eyes explains how she has just been verbally assaulted by the housekeeping manager for letting people check in early. Explains that I will have to wait four hours to check in at 4:00 pm, because her incompetent housekeeping manager cannot manage to clean a single room before 4:00 pm.
This hotel lied and did not honor the deal that they would do "whatever they could to accomodate".
The baited me to believe they would do what they said until the last moment when it was too late to cancel my booking.
I was forced to rent another hotel room at my own expense. Hotel is operated by scammers. Never again."
