Through this survey, I am formally requesting a refund as the room that was advertised on Hotels.com was not the room that I actually received at the Ritz. Had this hotel been located in the United States, I would have immediately commenced legal action against the Ritz, and against Hotels.com for breach of contract for failure to honor the implied agreement between myself, the Ritz, and Hotels.com when I paid for the room, yet did not receive what was advertised.
The room expected was a standard room with one king size bed (as advertised in Hotels.com and displayed in the photo also on hotels.com) What I got was a room that was no bigger than my walk in closet, a bed that was much smaller than twin size, and furniture almost bunched together: leaving almost no walking space. When I advised the staff, they informed me that there were no other rooms available, and that there were no refunds available. Obviously, the room was not used due to the lack of walking space.
This is the first bad experience that I ever had at a hotel in Mexico, but nevertheless, I would not recommend the Ritz to anyone due to the flagrant bait and switch. Furthermore, if I were hotels.com, for reputational purposes, I wouldn't accept further publishing from the Ritz because of possible exposure to civil liability
