I contacted a manager myself at the hotel the following day and had the reservation canceled. That’s when I realized that I was way better at doing most things than any Ambassador or CS representative.

My dealings with the hotel have been nothing short of abrupt. They just stopped responding when I asked them to provide detail on the cancellation policy.
