can I take legal action again a videographer that’s didn’t deliver?

I recently had a videographer reach out to me to do a video for my brand. His only requirements were that I put him and the model in a room for 2 days. While searching for a room I made sure to ask him if he was OK staying in Brooklyn, OK with Airbnb, And OK with one bed versus two beds, etc. I even made sure to send him photos of the place to get his approval. After going back and forth on which dates we’ll be shooting we decided on Dec 26. I booked the room for Dec 25 - Dec 27. He called me on the 26 telling me that he is checking in and missed his 1st day because he was staying somewhere else. When he got to the place he complained that he didn’t like it and that it was too small and too far even though I had confirmed that he was OK with staying in Brooklyn. He didn’t end up staying in the room. He then kept giving me the runaround about how the model didn’t like the room so she has gone MIA. It’s the 28th and we still haven’t shot our video and i doubt we ever were.
