I'm no lawyer, but from my time in the insurance business (NOT a salesman - a computer nerd), there is a contract law principle called "scrivener's error" (I'm sure someone can correct the spelling if I'm off).

It is basically a way for common sense to prevail. For example, if someone is selling you an insurance policy for $100,000, but your policy comes through for $1,000,000 with no increase in premiums, the insurance company can correct this without your consent.

This is the same principle. A hotel can't back out on a quoted rate of $100 to charge you $120. It is reasonable of you to expect a hotel room for $100.

It is unreasonable of you to expect a hotel room for free. Therefore they can back out of this.
