Pay at the property NOT WORK

I chose to be charged at the hotel although I was charged at the point of booking the hotel. I chose the PAY AT THE PROPERTY tab on Trivago. The hotel.com guaranteed I would not be charged if I enter my card details however, I was charged immediately. This was a huge inconvenience. I tried to rectify this with the hotel but they said there was nothing they could do and it’s not their problem. I was hoping for a late checkout as advertised but was unable to secure one. Probably because my bill had been paid before arriving. I was also supposed to use a work credit card to pay on arrival and this was also denied as a result of the billing issue. A Laundry service is advertised however it is only machines which require $2 coins only. This means you need to find a shop to get change as the hotel do not offer change at reception. This requires a guest to go searching for a shop to get change because it would be unusual to carry five $2 coins on your person without knowing you needed it. A simple solution is to advise $2 coins are required for the laundry. If this was advertised in the room or at reception it would save a lot of time and make for a better experience.
