TIFU and I never thought I would make the mistake I made, but alas... I need the Reddit community to advise what, if anything, I can do to rectify the silly thing I did.
So, my partner and I were heading to Bloomington, IN for a show and were going to stay the night at a hotel so we didn't have to drive back home Saturday evening afterward. I took the lead and booked us a hotel via Priceline in Bloomington. All is well.
I got several emails from Priceline about my itinerary, but I was confident that we wouldn't need to make any adjustments, so I just ignored them and prepared for our trip.
We arrived in Bloomington, ate dinner, and then I pulled up the latest email to get directions to the hotel. To my shock and horror, I had booked us a night in...
****Bloomington, IL****
At this point, I was unable to cancel, and we had to scramble and figure out a backup plan.
My question is: I know I made the mistake and am at fault for not double/triple checking the reservation, but as an honest mistake, is there any chance I can get a refund or credit from Priceline or the hotel itself? Has anyone else accidentally done this?
I am feeling really guilty for the mistake and could use some reassurance/optimism from anyone out there!
TL;DR - booked a hotel in Bloomington, IL not Bloomington, IN and feeling stupid looking for any possible recourse.
