Donald Trump has reportedly had trouble getting a hotel room for the upcoming G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.
His team apparently waited too long to book accommodations for the President and his travelling staff and were told none of the major hotels had vacancies, Buzzfeed reported.
The local newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt reported that the Four Seasons had to turn him away as they were full.
In an ironic twist for the hotel chain owner, every luxury hotel in town seemed to be booked up. There do not appear to be any Trump-owned properties in the northern German city.
Buzzfeed did some digging and found that King Salman of Saudi Arabia and his massive entourage are staying at the Four Seasons as well two other high-end hotels.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is staying at the Park Hyatt and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will make camp at the Atlantic Kempinski with India and Canada.
However, the Hamburg government's Senate House will reportedly host him, while staff will likely stay at the US Consulate there.
This is not the first time a US official has had trouble with hotels in Germany. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had to stay several miles away - at a sanitarium outside of Bonn - from other leaders at the February G20 ministers' meeting.

So I really like exposing indepedent articles for the political pieces of crap they are. They are lazy journalism with half quotes pretending to be realy journalism.
I went back to the buzzfeed article they quoted (they always quote buzzfeed) and then found the previous article in german. This was the article buzzfeed was quoting. Were literally playing telephone here
https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article166072130/Hier-schlafen-Trump-und-Merkel-beim-G-20-Gipfel.html
Now if you read the article. Remember this is what Buzzfeed and the Independent are basing there 'incompetent administration' hit pieces on. Youll see it just says they dont know where trump is staying; having no direct source but only asking around hotels. This article was also published more than a week ago. Its very likely the info is out of date or could have changed. Idk why this is continuously allowed to be a reliable source. This is so easy to debunk and the journalism standard of the independent is so lazy. They always take half quotes and spin them into trump hit pieces.
Edit: Im all for good journalism but seriously guys, look at the quote the indepdent has and go back and reread the original article. Always do this with them, there are so many inconsistencies with their work. I was able to prove the same thing with the syrian gas thing a week ago. Theu are lazy journalist who shouldnt be supported.
Edit 2: im surprised how well this is being received. In other news and political boards I cannot critize articles like this without being called some alex jones conspiracy theorist. Its relatively nice
