In Mexico, there's a hotel scam. You can book one room only to be told it was "sold out" or "unavailable". There is a quiet "discussion" room to haggle to make other arrangements. You can be Mexican from "real" Mexico and it will still happen even if you "confirm" the room (which is meaningless) because it's a money-maker by holding your vacation hostage by testing your patience and enjoyment through brinkmanship. It's a classic bait-and-switch.
