Cheap hotel? I deliberately left out the name, but you are pretty good if you can decipher which one I am talking about. Funny thing was, the daily rate for this hotel was about the same as I got for the Marriott in northern Munich.
Thanks for the response. Food was an annoyance, but not an issue. Laundry is offered by the hotel, but the suspension of it was not disclosed ahead of time. I asked about it at check in, as it was important/critical for the lengthy stay. We were told to wait until the next day for an answer, which then had us outside the cancellation window.
All other points you make are well taken. I'm just seeing if there is a course of action to take. If not, oh well - the hotel will just be blacklisted by our travel dept.
