I reserved a room at a hotel that said it had a great view, but in fact there was absolutely no view. I wanted to cancel but was told there would be a charge.

In most cases, the hotel’s own website will list the facilities in its rooms, including whether or not there is a window, along with the stay plan and pricing. If you booked the hotel on a booking site, check the details again of what you reserved. If the print was small and hard to see, you can tell that to the hotel and try to negotiate with them.
