Did you contact customer service to investigate? This isn't personal, but I'm usually skeptical when a person says, "the hotel was empty", "I didn't get an upgrade", "there were suites/better rooms available online". As discussed many times, we dont know if the rooms were actually being turned, unassigned when you viewed, out of service but showing available or even if the hotels system synched with what was showing on the web.

The only way to find out if policies aren't being followed is to contact customer service so that this doesn't happen again.
