Can confirmed hotel rate be changed by hotel?
I booked a room at the Westin Bonaventure in L.A. months ago for a conference last week at a rate of $99/night which is the government rate. I have valid i.d., etc. When I was checking in, they announced that my rate had been increased to $106 per night since the government allowable rate had increased since the time I booked my reservation. I tried to argue that I was being penalized for booking early, but had no luck. I had no choice but to accept the $106 rate since I had no where else to go. Now I will have to justify the rate change to my fiscal office next week since that was not the rate quoted in my travel authorization. Grrr...
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
