Despite making our reservation six months in advance, we received an email just two days before our arrival informing us that the hotel was overbooked and that we would be relocated to the MGM Hotel. This last-minute change caused significant inconvenience, especially as commuting to the convention by shuttle was both time-consuming and challenging. We were extremely disappointed with the handling of the situation
