Did not honor hotels.com booking price

Unfortunately, this hotel did not honor the rate promised with my hotels.com booking with the pay-at-site option. They charged me a higher nightly rate, and it felt like it was attempted to be hidden as they gave me a "blank" receipt at check out that stated I paid with cash (I did not), but then charged the higher amount to my card still. Later when prompted, they gave me a receipt with the higher nightly cost written, but kept passing me around and promising call-backs to rectify the situation, but they never called me back and never offered a solution or explanation. I am still calling the hotel to fix this, but I cannot get any help. The stay itself was decent, the walls are very thin (I could hear everything my neighbor was doing, even the sound of hangers moving), but the room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the location convenient. I would have been happy with my stay if it was not for the overcharge.
