“Be warned-overbooking is common & I didn't find out I had no room until I got there”
I travel a lot, and this was the worst experience I've had. Arriving at the hotel mid-afternoon, I was informed that the hotel was oversold. After a stressful couple of hours, the best they could offer was a hotel in Schaumburg, way outside the city, making it impossible for me to follow through on my business plans. While the manager was apologetic, there is no excuse for an 11 room hotel overbooking like this. It says a lot about the ethics of the business--I was not the only one to get bumped that day. While the hotel is beautiful-at least the public areas I saw-I can't ever imagine making a reservation there again. I just don't trust it won't happen again. No place is worth this kind of risk. I can't imagine how these guys stay in business.
Room Tip: Check to make sure they are not oversold!
