I actually had this same problem last year. With 2 seperate hotels. I'd book a hotel room.. reservation would be taken.. confirmed.. i'd get a call 2 days later from the hotel saying they were already full.. recommend me to another hotel.. order that one.. same thing.. I finaly said screw it and booked a room at the leslie over the phone and it worked out great.. good location.. clean.. cheap.. right on the ocean..
