You can sue for up to $10,000.00 in small claims court. Your damages are the difference between what they agreed to and what you had to pay for comparable lodging. Mistake is a defense. If the deal was too good to be true, the judge might find that you should have known it was a mistake. On the other hand, there are lots of ads and stories about promotions which offer deep discounts. Such a trial could go either way.

Do you have a revocable living trust to protect your heirs against probate? Probate takes forever, is expensive, and is annoying. Do your family a favor. Set up a trust, and put all your property, especially any real property, into the trust. Since it is revocable, you can change it, add to it, take property out of it, or even cancel it completely, at any time. We set up such trusts, provide a pour-over will as a back-up for any property that does not make it into the trust, provide you with blank durable powers of attorney for health care and financial decisions, in case you become incapable of making such decisions while still alive, and convey one piece of real property to the trust, usually the family home, for $1500.00. If you would like to hire me to do this, let me know, and I'll send you a list of the information I need.
