It was good being away from the hustle and Brussel. The main problem was that I had booked a room which had two double beds, because I was travelling with a young friend. When I got there there was only one bed in the room. I race this with the front desk, but as my friend was not arriving until the next day, I explained that there was no rush - they had offered a mattress on the floor. I was reasonably upset about this because the advertising and booking definitely stated to double beds. My friend arrived the next day, and we raise the matter with the Manager and the front desk on three occasions, but nothing happened. The manager had even said that a sofa bed would be installed, but when we returned that evening there was neither a sofa bed nor a mattress. I discussed this with the staff and they said that they could provide a mattress for Rs.600, which really upset me , because I had already paid for two double beds. On the third day of the booking I spoke to the manager in a fourth right way and explained my dissatisfaction. He did apologise, and later in the day a sofa bed was installed. I then pushed him for compensation in the form of included breakfast even though I had not ticked that box. I would describe this as a difficult negotiation ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7BD507FB0752271C58299A6788ECE36D4BCFCA881730630175296.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Des J Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson Hotel Jalandhar](https://www.expedia.ca/Jalandhar-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Jalandhar.h905331.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Ludhiana](https://www.expedia.ca/Ludhiana-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Ludhiana.h535669.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Lake Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Lake-Palace.h526333.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Mall-Of-America-Hotels.0-l501836-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra](https://www.expedia.ca/Agra-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Amarvilas.h551355.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Taj Ganges, Varanasi](https://www.expedia.ca/Varanasi-Hotels-Taj-Ganges.h526343.Hotel-Information) > > [Neemrana's Baradari Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Patiala-Hotels-Neemranas-Baradari-Palace.h11900981.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cuba-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d44-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Ananta Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-The-Ananta-Udaipur.h8704364.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-The-Lalit-Laxmi-Vilas-Palace.h661769.Hotel-Information) > > [Moksha Himalaya Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kasauli-Hotels-Moksha-Himalaya-Spa-Resort.h2796246.Hotel-Information) > > [Madhubhan Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Anand-Hotels-Madhubhan-Resort-Spa.h5087959.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Chandigarh](https://www.expedia.ca/Chandigarh-Hotels-Taj-Chandigarh.h1217035.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurika, Udaipur - Luxury by Lemon Tree Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Aurika-Udaipur.h40886310.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Agra](https://www.expedia.ca/Agra-Hotels-Taj-Hotel-Convention-Centre.h4524241.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in St. Lucia](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-St-Lucia-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d168-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Umaid Bhawan Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Jodhpur-Hotels-Umaid-Bhawan-Palace.h848864.Hotel-Information) > > [Goa Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Panaji-Hotels-Goa-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h522986.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabbana Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Jalandhar-Hotels-The-Cabbana-Resort-Spa.h2561042.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Ludhiana](https://www.expedia.ca/Ludhiana-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Ludhiana.h7597440.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leela Palace Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-Hotels-The-Leela-Palace-Udaipur.h3021032.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Scotiabank Arena](https://www.expedia.ca/Scotiabank-Arena-Hotels.0-l6072449-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Taj Aravali Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Aravali-Resort-Spa.h32567071.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Swarna](https://www.expedia.ca/Amritsar-Hotels-Taj-Swarna.h15935907.Hotel-Information) > > [Neemrana Fort-Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Alwar-Hotels-Neemrana-Fort-Palace.h16224166.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Udaipur Palace Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Udaipur-Palace-Resort-Spa.h2481058.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kingston (KIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/kin/toronto-to-kingston) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyt/edmonton-to-st-johns)
