I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In California, if a hotel is overbooked and cannot accommodate a guest with a confirmed reservation, they should ideally assist you in finding alternative accommodations or offer a refund. You might consider discussing options with the hotel management or seeking a refund. Do you need guidance on how to proceed with this issue?
