As my good friend Al Capp told me a few years ago, the best thing to do
with a confirmed [hotel] reservation slip when you have no room is to
spread it out on the sidewalk in front of the hotel and go to sleep on it.
You'll either embarrass the hotel into giving you a room or you'll be
hauled off to the local jug, where at least you'll have a roof over your
head.
