Book Cheap Hotels in Sor-Aurdal

I made a reservation for June 4, 2011, at the Quality Hotel and Resort Fagernes, Norway. My son and his wife also had a reservation. After a full day of driving we arrived at 6:30 pm. We were told that the hotel had overbooked for the night and that they had no space. They advised that they had made provision for us at another hotel a few blocks away. When we went to the other hotel we found it to an older facility lacking in bathrooms, wireless internet, etc. and in no way comparable. While at the Quality Hotel it was apparent that a convention or conference was going on. The hotel obviously decided that this was more to their advantage than honoring a reservation made through the Nordic Choice Hotels website. As a result we had to drive until 10:30 in the evening to get to Oslo as Fagernes is in a remote area.

I first called this motel direct and asked to make a reservation. They said there were no vacancies. I immediately checked travel agent and found that there were rooms available after all. The other motel's in the vicinty that had info on the web were full, so this was our only choice. Our room was a smoking room (we didn't have a choice) so there was some odor, but not near as bad as others I have stayed in. I will say that the interior of the room (including the bathroom) was clean.. The queen size bed was like sleeping on a sagging slab of concrete. This Best Western is looking a bit dilapidated on the exterior. We didn't use the pool or other faciities so I don't know about them. The only way I would book a room here again is if I had no other choice.
