Agreed. I review my reservation thoroughly (especially during MAR times. LOL)..but honestly I constantly look at them. The OP made the reservation knowing it was cheaper for 5 days and had no idea it was messed up until check-in, hence the question to the FD?
Now, understandably there are times when a person is staying in a hotel and an emergency happens and/or change of plans and you need to leave, period. I have NEVER arrived at a hotel on a reservation and realized I made the incorrect reservation when checking in.
