This is a change, I was originally booked in the Crowne Plaza and they changed my hotel.

I called crew accommodations and asked to be put back into the Crowne and they politely told me to go pound sand. The person I spoke with said the cutoff was 15 in NYC. I really thought it was 15:30. Do I have any recourse here?
