screwed me up badly- i needed a good nights sleep with no hassles for a morning meeting

when i got back to the hyatt at NOON they were already walking people!!!

so calling would have done them no good

maybe gross overbooking is a minneapolis practice??

( i did get the first night free, coupons for 2 free nights at any hyatt, and an upgrade to a club-level suite for the next 2 nights- but i still would preferred my original booking be honored)
