Can I file criminal charges against a hotel for debiting my checking account without authorization?

I stay at a weekly pay hotel and pay by debit card. I have authorized them each week to deduct an amount for weekly rent. One week they deducted two payments and continue to deny they deducted the second payment. Can I file criminal charges (theft)? At first the bank took my side and returned the money to me while they investigated. The bank mailed me a questionaire that the hotel kept until after the "reply by" date and the bank reversed their decision and returned my extra payment to the hotel, which they again deny having received. This happened in May 2006 to several quests at this hotel. Who should I report this (theft) to? I know that once criminal charges are filed, they will find a way to kick me out of the hotel, can I then file civil charges? I live in the State of Georgia
