Booked a Hotel... Ended Up in a Ghost Building | Jackson News

A Louisiana man booked a hotel room online only to show up at a ghost building—abandoned and unoccupied—after his Lyft dropped him off. The booking site still advertised rooms at the OYO Hotel, but the address matched a closed-down property. When he confronted the situation, he was met with hostility and a call center that dodged accountability. Frustrated, he turned to TikTok to warn others and demanded his money back, even trying to file a police report—only to be told he needed to meet an officer in person, by which time he’d already left. He’s still pushing for answers, highlighting how easily online scams can ruin travel plans and wallets. A stark reminder: always double-check your bookings before you go.
