billing-issue Escalated

To RIO, I am writing to demand a full refund for my entire stay, including the upgrade fee I was "forced" to pay and get a room with faulty facilities. My experience at your hotel was the worst I have ever had in the US. Problems I encountered: Noise & refused room change (Day 1): The room on the 8th floor was unbearably noisy from casino music. The front desk refused to change my room, claiming none were available. But I can clearly see many people are on the check-in process. Dismissive attitude & paid upgrade (Day 2): The next morning, I was again told no rooms were available. In the afternoon, a different front desk agent offered a room change – but only if I paid extra. I paid for an upgrade to the 18th floor. Drainage failure & ignored maintenance (Night 2 & Day 3): That night, the bathroom drain was clogged. The in-room phone only had a robot assistant. I submitted a maintenance request – no one came the entire next day. Another defective room: When I complained, I was given another room. That room also had clogged drains (bathroom and sink). I had to request yet another room. Throughout my stay, your staff(first one, not the second one who upgrade the room for me) were unprofessional and dismissive. I wasted hours packing and moving between defective rooms. This has severely affected my mood and well-being. My demand: Full refund of all room charges for the entire stay Full refund of the upgrade fee I paid Please respond within 7 business days. If not, I will dispute the charge with my credit card company and file complaints with consumer agencies.
