- tialaramex 7y agoYeah, the first thing they'd do is upgrade guests. So now the hotel is giving you the $250 room for your $150 per night. Then they look at nearby hotels they have an arrangement with, and send you to one of those. If there are no nearby hotels with inventory they'll refund you. In many hundreds of hotel stays I've never seen this happen even to another guest. Also most hotels do a lot of corporate business. This mutual five star crap from the "sharing economy" doesn't fly in that world. Somebody's PA has a bad experience at your hotel? No more bookings from that whole company. So shady nonsense just becomes bad business anyway.
