After a long day's walk from Oliveira, we booked a night on www.hotels.com for October 2nd in Ancore Hotel, Finisterre, Galicia, Spain.
Arriving at the hotel, the host was with strong smell of alcohol, very uncomfortable for us.
I asked him if he had charged on the credit card and he said no, it was only to guarantee the room. I asked if I could then pay in euros. He said: not problem. We paid and He gave us a piece of paper signed with the amount paid and the seal of the hotel. He requested information: date of birth, nationality, etc. I said Canada, he said no no. I said yes. He said no no. After three times, I said, oh, I see my Spanish name .... I was born in Cuba.
We asked at what time the restaurant opened, but he said that the restaurant was closed for the week since his wife and daughter were on vacation outside..
The story would have stopped there, if I not realize arriving to Canada on October 7th, that the hotel had charged again the amount on my credit card in date of October 5th.
I called www.hotels.com and asked for refund. They talked to the hotel and asked me to send a copy of the receipt at the hotel. I did it and I explained the same that I described above.
The woman at the hotel was angry with me because I said that gay had got some drinks. She said that there were not notice of payment and the file was closed. Her husband wanted my phone number for talk to me. I gave her my phone number, but he never called.
