Horrible Experience!!!

I have booked a Deluxe AC Room but they did not provide that, more over the lady Receiptinist unprofessionally behaved when I asked why Refrigerator is not in the Room since AC Deluxe Room includes Refrigerator. Even they did not provide any Twin beds though they had confirmed me, when I requested them few days before arrival. Smart phone charging port is not available in the Room. No Credit card allows. A guy from Hotel Management team expressed apology and committed to arrange necessary facilities for all the AC Deluxe rooms as they mentioned in different booking site.
