It took 3 times to finally get us into a room that was unoccupied. I’m not sure if the guy at the front desk was incompetent or if their inventory system doesn’t work but we were sent to two different rooms that were occupied and finally on the third try we got a room that was empty. We have stayed at the urban many times and never had an issue. But this time was different.
