They overbooked indeed. There was an event in the area, many of the hotels were fully booked. Sloppy management, yes sure, there were other customers in the same case that day.

Why the owner did not understand it, no idea. When we complained to him about the room downgrade for the second night, his answer was literally "would you have preferred to stay in the old dirty place one more night?"
