I booked a room months in advance for New Year’s Eve I get to the wade hotel and my room was given to someone else so they gave me a low level room as a replacement. The reason they gave me was that they were overbooked but how could that be if they gave me a replacement room.

The view was great and the staff was awesome. The continental breakfast on the other hand was very bland, menu was limited, and couldn't order it for room service. I've been to cheap hotels with better varieties on the menu.
