Consumer Alert: Companies are lying about their accommodations again

Booking.com claimed it was a one-bedroom apartment, but it was just one room. It promised him hot water, but he only had cold water. Nutter was willing to overlook the size, but he couldn't live without hot water.

"After one night, I had to check out," he says.
