I show up there thinking the price went up some, but the confirmation still is online.
No, it's cancelled, says the clerk.
It's late, I am exhausted, and I ask if I can buy a room for one night.
The clerk says yes and that Expedia will refund me for the online stuff. However Expedia still has me confirmed for two nights. They do not seem to be the ones that cancelled, seems more like the hotel did. Feels like some kind of scam..
Any advice?
