The room was double booked and they booked me into a motel that cost a lot less than what I paid and yet I was charged the same price. Never mind this is the first time I have ever had this happen.

The sound of what I think was a water cistern filling every few minutes is very disruptive of sleep so not a restful night. The bed was saggy but that is a personal preference thing.
