Maybe the $550 was a minibar charge, plus the minibar restocking fee, plus the fee to replace the minibar refrigerator?
Please prove you didn't take the minibar with you, Droneklax.
Not sure why you are asking for advice on this .. I think you know what to do.

PS: I always get a bill copy showing zero balance at check-out. If I'm traveling on business, the company requires that for reimbursement. If it's personal, it's just a good idea anyway. I hate delayed charges, and I always dispute them with the property, and usually they are credited back to the credit card without question once I find out what the item was for and explain that it wasn't mine. I always make sure any incidentals including minibar charges, etc, are included in the final zero-ed out bill.
