You could do two things: 1) post negative reviews of the hotel on BFT or Travelocity or wherever you can; 2) write to PL. If enough people complain to PL the property will be downgraded.

Off topic here, but did you ever get your missing EBAY points? If I'm not mistaken, you're the only one who complained about missing points, but didn't provide a follow up once the points started rolling into everyone else's accounts. Let us know!
