OK, this story is really not believable but here goes. In fact, it is so bizarre I contemplated for months on whether I should submit it. Arrived for 5 night stay on business. (per diem work in the city). Corporate booking. Despite being a normally-abled Diamond member, I was put in the wheelchair accessible room. The one where the toilet is backwards and slung low to the floor and there isn't really a shower, just a bench with a hand-held for a sponge bath. All perfectly equipped for full-blown wheelchair access. And the very young woman at the front desk thought this was a reasonable choice for a normally abled person for 5 days.. She went into the back room and refused to come out to the front when I immediately returned to ask to exchange rooms. I even called the hotel phone number and she had switched it to ring over to Hilton corporate so she wouldn't have to answer the phone. I have absolutely no idea what was going on here. I had to leave a note on the countertop cancelling the reservation since I wasn't going to stay in that room and clearly no one was going to give me a different one. I left and stayed at the Holiday Inn on my own dime. They ended up charging corporate for the whole stay. This was booked months in advance and there were no cars in the parking lot so "overbooked" and "last minute reservation" do not apply here. Who does this?
