Ok so I’ll start out that it was my fault. I made a reservation and booked for the wrong night. Clearly my fault and not the hotels. But when I showed up on the night I thought I had booked for (following a wedding and arriving pretty late) the hotel had a couple of rooms and tried to charge me $500 when I balked they said $400 and then finally $250. I passed and we drove all the way home to Virginia Beach. A tough drive getting home at 2 am but Holiday Inn won’t get more of my money. Sure felt like they were attempting to gouge me for my mistake - plus they got the money for the night I booked but didn’t use.
No other comments but sure was a disappointment.
