Overcharged for the wrong room.

They didn't have the room we reserved. We reserved a king suite and they put us in a regular much smaller room. The reason they gave was that they were overbooked. They didn't mention it when we checked in. They gave us the room key and sent us on our way. It wasn't until I came back down to let them know it was the wrong room that they tried to find us a room in the size we had reserved. They had none available. The best they would do was put us in a slightly bigger room than the tiny room they originally tried to stick us with. They said they would try to adjust the total but we haven't seen any credits come through. It was so disappointing to be stuck in a room we didn't reserve. Our room was confirmed when we made the reservation.
