Hotel Policy Left Her Paying Twice

A woman paid $232 for a hotel near a Bruno Mars concert—only to discover the property refused to honor her booking because she lived within 30 miles, a policy she never saw. After paying upfront via Hotels.com, she was told the reservation didn’t exist, and no refund was possible. She scrambled to find another place, left confused and out of pocket. The hotel claimed they never received payment, while Hotels.com said the booking was confirmed but non-refundable. This messy situation highlights how hidden hotel policies can ruin plans—and why checking directly with the property before booking is crucial.
