Room did not have the beds as listed on booking

We booked a room that said it had a king size bed and a sofa bed. We got to the room at 2am and it was only a king size bed in the room. The front desk told us that all we booked was a king size bed. When I showed him my reservation he told me that there were no other rooms to move us to and that it was “probably because we booked through a 3rd party site because all he sees on his side is a king size bed. He offered no help until I got upset because my kids had no where to sleep. He then said he “might could find me a roll away bed” but kept blaming it on the fact that we booked through hotels.com

There was a dog that continued to howl bark all night long. Not at all what I expected for the Holiday Inn to allow. Very disappointed. Everything was clean and staff was great. Just the allowance of a pet to howl all night was disappointing!
