bad customer relations dept
there customer relations, and mangers are far from being good. they don’t care about there customers. My stay was horrible, when I complained about it, they offered me reward points?? why in the world would I want to stay at that hotel chain. As far as Im coinsured I believe they should be shut down. my issue was not even solved. they seamed to think they can get away with anything. I have read a lot of complaints from this hotel chain. And I would not ever suggest ANYONE to stay there. so in that note, I hope this company can fix there issues with there staff. so no one has to go threw a bunch of crap to get no where!!!

Tried to charge a surprise pet fee
I booked a hotel room in a Comfort Inn hotel in which I've stayed before, on choicehotels.com. The "fine print" room description did not read, "no pets allowed." The hotel accepts pets and on its website, at the time I booked, it listed no pet fees. I typed in the Special Requests section that I would need a pet room and was bringing two small dogs. When I checked in the computers were down. Whatever... I got checked in. The room was very nice. I've stayed there several times before in their pet rooms. The next morning when I went to check out, there was a large, rather unfriendly office manager, Victor (Richards, I think, was his last name) behind the counter. He gave me my invoice to sign and I noticed a $25 pet fee on it. I refused to sign it or pay the pet fee, because it wasn't indicated on the website and I've never had to pay a pet fee at that hotel before. He said it was their new policy. I said you can't spring a new policy on me like that, I didn't book expecting to pay a pet fee. He handed me a hotel business card and told me to call the manager on Monday (this was Saturday morning). I said no and asked him to call his manager right then. He did, on a cell phone (his own? the company's? who knows). Right in front of me, in a "long suffering" unfriendly tone of voice, he told the manager he had a customer who didn't want to pay the pet fee, and then he said, "I explained that to her." He handed me the phone to talk to the general manager, Neelam Patel, who tried to argue with me. The phone reception was lousy and I couldn't even hear half of what she said, but she tried to explain their cleaning process and the new policy, etc., etc., blah blah blah. I insisted on her authorizing the removal of the pet fee from my bill, and she finally agreed to do so. But she kept speaking to me in an argumentative tone! Finally, I said, "Could you please tell Victor here to take off the pet fee?" And she finally said yes so I handed the phone back to him and he printed me out a new bill without the fee. After all that, Victor had the nerve to tell me it would probably take a month for the website to be updated and he hoped to see me again. I told him I would not be staying there again. When I got home my stay wasn't listed on my account, so I feared I'd have a hassle getting my points credited, but they finally, several days later, came through and I saw the listing of my stay.

I reserved a room at the hotel for a dog show we were attending held on May 10 and 11th. The hotel was advertised on the back of the dog show premium list as pet friendly. Upon arrival we check in and get our suite(#322). It had no toilet paper and the carpet was nasty. We bring our dogs in and go to unload the car and the clerk tells us there is a "situation". The building doesn't allow dogs because it serves breakfast. I told them I was coming for the dog show and had dogs at the time of the reservation. They moved us from our suite to a small room(#214). We are sound asleep and at 4:30 a.m. there is a loud crashing noise and my husband screams. When I turn on the light I see that the picture above the bed fell off the wall hit the head board and fell on my husband's head. Shattering glass imbedded in my husband's shoulder and glass shards 6"-10" long all over his neck and upper torso and all over the bed, pillows and dog blanket. I removed the glass from my husband's neck so my husband could move and I could clean his wound. I went to get assistance and bandages but the desk clerk didn't know where a first aid kit was. She tried to be helpful but was new to the job and was the only one on duty. They moved us to another room(#217). Again no toilet paper. We went to the front desk at least 3 times to get the manager or owner, or anyone in charge to come to the room and meet with us. The clerk couldn't give us an extra blanket or sheet to replace my dogs blanket now imbedded in glass because she'd "get fired". I asked her to call the manager/owner and she tried several times. When she finally reached the owner we were told to return after the dog show in the afternoon to discuss this mess, the owner was too busy with a "little one". We return and, again, no manager, no owner. The desk clerk said she couldn't call the owner again on their cell phone because she'd "be fired". We were told to go to the other hotel that the owner has, Econo Lodge, we did not go. We went to our room and found my husbands personal pillow lying on the dirty hallway floor. At appx. 2:30 with no one in authority, in sight, I went and found a room at a competitor's hotel. So we moved again. We had a nice room and they actually had breakfast and pet friendly room. The owner of this hotel is Ms. Patel. Choice hotels, who is the Franchisor was of no help and told me it's not their responsability to provide a sheet or blanket for dogs, even though mine is now filled with glass. We got a "gee whiz" "I'm sorry" letter from Ms. Patel telling us how seriously they take our complaint and offering us a free nights stay. What a crock!!! I plan on contacting the AG's office and am happy to discuss this. This is not the only problem we encountered here and several other people in the hotel were complaining about their stay!

I made on line reservations for $90.00 per night based on photos and descriptions of the hotel. When I got there I was very disappointed. The room was filthy & it smelled + I did not feel secure leaving my car in the parking lot none the less staying there with my family due to the people loitering in the parking lot. I explained the situation with the desk clerk and he informed me that there is nothing that he can do about a refund. During all this a woman was checking in with a newspaper coupon for $15.00 less for the same type of room. After 15 minutes of phone calls I was told that it was not possible to give me a refund. I explained that I was not staying the night and I want a refund. They would not budge. I refused to give up and called to speak to the manager who said that it was not possible, but I did not give up and kept insisting about the refund, seeing that I was not ready to come out of the shoe he agreed to give me discount and vouchers worth $45.00 for future bookings". I agreed. When I received my credit card statement they inflated the room charge to $135.00 then gave the 50% discount. I immediately called American Express & disputed the overcharge & I was redeemed. Oh! by the way...I never received any vouchers in the mail. STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS. They should look up the meaning of the word Guaranteed like they state in their advertisements.
