They had added two breakfasts to the bill, although I had booked for 1 person and had stayed alone and most importantly had not taken any breakfast. I had to call the hotel to get it rectified. They did, but it was annoying nevertheless.

My company has gone all digital for expense claims, so I do prefer digital receipts and bills so that I don't need to scan them. But this procedure at Accor is far from perfect and next time I will likely not select fast check out and request to get to see the bill in whatever form before paying.

I had a similar experience at IBIS heathrow, I paid for the room with 2000 points + cash but they ended charging me the full amount cash.
