GGuest UserI reserved a room for 3 nights in June online. I was on a road trip and decided to stay in Charleston a few days before heading to my next location. I only take vacations once every 5 years more or less and this was my first trip in years. I presumed that when I paid with my credit card online that I was good to go. I had stayed at another hotel in the area the night before but they doubled their rates for the weekend, and it was more than I wanted to pay. So, though this hotel was farther out from the city, it was close enough. I presumed with a reservation there would be no issues checking in whenever, so went to the USS Yorktown for the afternoon. I had been listening to something on my phone and by late afternoon, my battery was very low. Around 4 PM, while in the bottom section of the boat, my phone rang. by the time I pulled it out, call went to voice mail. i had to go out on deck to get the voice mail, which was the hotel calling. The message was confusing and said i had till 5 pm before my reservation would be cancelled. I left the air craft carried to go to my car and charge my phone to call the hotel back and figure out the issue. They said there was a problem with my card. I had used it to get into Yorktown, and had paid for several hotels the week before. Still had $9K available credit and my bill was paid as it had been every month for 19 years (I checked the card website before calling them to see if there was something with my account). So, it couldn't be the card, had to be on their end, but they were going to cancel my reservation. again, I assumed when i paid at my reservation that all was good. Why wouldn't i? I called and they said they would hold it till i got there if I was on my way. So i had to skip out on the rest of the yorktown and go deal with this issue. I got there, told the clerk who i was. Pulled out my ID, AAA card and credit card. The girl said she only needed my ID, so I thought they must have re-run the card and it was all fine. Glad that was resolved, clerk gave me my paperwork, key card and i was on my way. I went to the room, and decided rather than use daylight to unpack, i still had a couple of hours of daylight and headed to the beach. This was around 5 PM as they demanded on the VM. around 7 PM. my phone rang on the beach. I answered, and it was someone saying she was from the hotel. She said my card did not work and I needed to resolve this issue. I was walking the beach so some distance from my car, but told her I would head back. as I walked towards my car, the lady called again and this time was more rude than the time before. She said she had to have a credit card right then. I'm thinking that I've just been there. I'm not even confident that this is someone from the hotel. But i was leaving the beach to head back, again changing my plans. I told the lady that I had been there a couple of hours ago, had my card out and the clerk did not need it. I presumed al
