    Same difference, it all comes down to offer and acceptance and they have refused the offer.

    Not exactly - it depends on what the terms of contract state. Remember that the OP's offer included payment - if the terms state that contract is formed on payment then the hotel have accepted the offer and are in breach of contract.

    Less serious question: since they are a business and obviously making too much money, have you considered suing them for distress? (That's the advice some on here will give you)

    Maybe if he stays there, they'll offer him two free turkeys.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    To be honest it was too good to be true

    Don't think I would plan a weekend without re-confirming the booking if this was the case.

    They aren't going to let you stay, so either just walk away or try your best haggling skills for a goodwill offer.
