small roomdouble bed

The room was quite SMALL, I must say. I booked a room expecting two single beds, BUT I received a double bed instead. I reported this to the reception. The lady at the desk said the hotel has no rooms with two single beds. I showed her my confirmation email from their website. That WASN'T true because I booked directly on their website. The lady made two blatant lies in five minutes, REALLY frustrating!
