I was confirmed and checking in and was told upon check in TJ’s they have no room for me and had to rebook me elsewhere, This is totally unacceptable and an absolute total inconvenience. Furthermore, I was booked several blocks away n an older hotel an away from friends who are booked at the metcalfe. I expect a full refund for this bad bad experience -
