Our experience with Sandman and Expedia was infuriating and disappointing.
Despite informing both parties that we'd be arriving one day late due to a severe snowstorm, they insisted on us communicating with the opposite party, leading to a tangled web of miscommunication.
Upon arrival, we discovered that our room had been rebooked to someone else, leaving us stranded.
We also witnessed other customers facing the same issue.
This exploitation during a force majeure event, combined with hefty no-show fines, is unethical and predatory.
We felt thoroughly exploited and unheard by both companies.
