2 beds are not better than one

We had a reservation for a room with a queen bed. We arrived at the location the desk clerk said she couldn’t find our reservation. I provided my ID, the email confitming the reservation and… the detail from my bank showing the charge. She insisted that we didn’t have one even though I provided all of the necessary docs. We stood at the desk for over an hour while she said she was figuring it out. We finally got a room but not the room we reserved. She knowingly gave us a room with 2 full size beds. Not what I paid for and not big enough for 3 people to sleep in. She never once apologized for the inconvenience.

It’s a clean and comfortable room. However the walls are a bit thin and you can hear the noise in the neighboring room and especially the water and sink usage next doors.
