I had booked my room nearly 40 days before the actual stay. I called the hotel specifically to request for a non-smoking room. They confirmed the same on the call as well as via return mail. Nearly six weeks later when I enter into my room, the pungent smell makes me realise it was a smoking room. I told the reception who said they have no other rooms. I then went down and demanded to speak with a Manager - after some time, they allotted me a non-smoking room. When I went to the room, I realised it was much smaller - upon calling the reception again, I was told it was indeed one category lower and that it was the only room they had. So, in more than 20 years of travelling around the world, it was the first time when a hotel messed up and then, to make up for their mistake, DOWNGRADED ME!! And none of them even had the decency to apologize, let alone offer a voucher or credit to at least make up for the fact that they charged me for a higher category room but forced me to stay in a LOWER category room. Extremely unprofessional and thoroughly disappointing
