What happens if a hotel walks you?

Walking Policy: When a hotel is overbooked and a guest cannot be accommodated, the guest is “walked” to a different hotel. The original hotel typically arranges and pays for the guest's stay at the alternative hotel. This policy is common in the industry, but the quality of the alternative hotel can vary.
