1. You can lose your room to someone with status
You reserved and paid for your hotel room months ago. However, if you’re unfortunate, you can show up and find yourself without a room. Hotels, like airlines, occasionally overbook in order to avoid losing income from unsold rooms.
And if you’re at the bottom of the totem pole, you can find yourself “walked” to another property. You won’t have to pay for the new room, but it will be inconvenient.
When there isn’t enough room in the inn, who gets walked? It depends, but if another visitor has hotel status and you don’t, chances are you’ll be the one lugging your bag across town. After all, hotels don’t want to irritate their most devoted customers.
A single-night stay or a booking through a third-party site like Expedia may further increase your chances of ending up somewhere else.

I have experienced the filth of a hotel room from the linen the mattress to the coffee pot and I don’t mind telling you it was The Ahoskie Inn in Ahoskie N.C. so be aware. This is not the first time I have told this story because it was that unbelievable. We were there for a wedding under the name White.
