Can hotels in Kemer, Turkey put you in a worse room than booked (basement, wrong building) due to overbooking?

TL;DR

Yes, some Kemer hotels overbook rooms: travelers report being placed in basement rooms or a secondary building instead of the main one, sometimes with demands for extra payment (around $200+) to upgrade.

What the community said

At one hotel, guests were first offered a sea-view room for an extra charge; after declining, they were placed in a very cramped, less suitable room. This suggests that paid upgrade offers may be used as pressure at check-in.

At one hotel, guests with a standard booking were initially placed in an outdated room in the Garden building after being told no rooms were available, even though it was presented as an upgrade. After speaking to reception the next day, they were moved to a proper standard room on the third floor.
