Denied a pre-paid hotel reservation-UNACCEPTABLE!
We had 4 rooms booked under 3 reservations. I came earlier in the day and even assigned names to rooms and provided my credit card for incidentals for all 4 rooms. We arrive after soccer match (almost midnight) to find one of our pre-paid rooms had been given away! No hotels for hours due to big soccer match. We had no choice but to sleep in our car! Absolutely no accountability by hotel or IHG and I have received NO FOLLOW-UP for refund or how to make this right. Especially as a valued IHG member I am disappointed and devastated!!
