Choice Hotels International quality inn sacramento convention center

I booked two room on July 28th to celebrate my birthday in Sacramento. To begin with they gave us a room that was occupied and we walked into the room with people in it. Then they gave us a room that was not clean and another where we kept getting locked out of. We had to go downstairs to get keys three times for getting locked out. We didn't enjoy our night thinking that they would make the same mistake again and allow someone else in our room. We were late to begin with to dinner because of they're lack of customer service and ensuring that they were up to date with what rooms were occupied. Not once did they bother to apologize they just rudely give us our keys three times. When we came back from dinner we were locked out again. And since they didn't bother to clean the room we had to share a towel to shower with. Yes we could have walked downstairs for the 4th time but by then we were so irritated we just didn't want to deal with anyone that lacked experience and good customer service. I have emailed choicehotels.com 7 times to ask for a refund and they keep giving me the run around. They offered to give me 3, 000 points that would equal $300.00 and when i went to try and book a room instead of the value being $300 dollars it was about $10 dollars. Now I am not sure if this company lacks experience or they just simply don't care about their customers and care more about making money. They have tried to ignore my emails over and over again and I have asked for a customer service telephone number and instead they provide me with the same email address that gives me the same inexperienced individuals that I have been dealing with since the beginning. I do not recommend anyone to go through this company they have horrible customer service and obviously their supervisors and managers do not have a clue how to satisfy a good customer instead they try to ignore the issue.

Choice Hotels International hotel reservation

Choice Hotels has a lowest rate guarantee in which they promise to match and give a $50 debit card. I sent in my firm and after over 24 hours Corey C. told me "they couldn't find it" So I sent them print screens of their rate and the other sites rate(agoda) made contemporaneously. The still have not responded after 3 full days to that or ant of my folliw up emails. I have left voice messages no one ever answers the number for that service. The general number is answered but they try to transfer me to the same number that no one answers. I have talked to over 15 people but not even the supervisors can help and they readily admit that they can't match the price I got. They absolutely refuse to honor their promise even when told a complaint is being filed.

I filled out a form for the lowest rate guarantee because I found a lower price. Over 24 hours later I received a reply from Corey C. that he "couldn't find it" I immediately sent a contemporaneous print screen of both the lower price on Agoda and their higher price. Many follow up emails voice mail messages unanswered phone calls over the next three days has resulted in no response what so ever. The number Corey C. gave is never answered. I have been on hold for several hours at the general number and even the supervisors ADMIT they cannot match the lower price but they all absolutely refuse to honor their promise to even match the price. let alone give the $50 gift card that is promised for finding a lower price.

Choice Hotels International quality inn near finger lakes and seneca falls, 2468 mound, rd, waterloo ny 13165; hotel cleanliness and services

We stayed at on the 2 to 4th Sept. We where very dissapointed because

1. We booked because they had a whirlpool and swimming pool to find the whirlpool was under Mtce on this busy weekend.

2. The hotel was filthy in all aspects - see photos. Even where you would expect leanliness like the fittings in the bathroom.

3. Breakfast layout was chaotic.

4. Dead bird outside our entrance despite having told Mgt.

5. Noisy ice cooler outside our door

6. pool area not maintained

7. carpets filthy

I suggest you get contract cleaners in and a maintenance team. Management need to be trained in what to look for.

It was disappointing as a special occasion for me and my partner and the word "Quality " as in Quality inn is a mis interpretation

Choice Hotels International room facilities

We are currently staying at Hotel Principessa Isabella in Rome 2018/08/26 to 2018/08/30.

Nice accommodation but very limited service. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room & a €5 charge to get it yourself from reception area - only during the day hours. Very frustrating as it is well away from local cafes.
We have never been in a hotel that does not provide such a basic facility.

Choice Hotels International promotion

I have unfortunately tried to give Comfort Suites customer service a chance to try to work at making things right with this. I was tossed around today from person to person. I had a tally of 25 people! I was on the phone from 10 am to 3 pm. When I gave up for the day.
This spring I worked towards the stay two nights, and get three nights free. I actually ended up staying three nights that were all booked using their comfort suites site. That is all I was told about the requirements about this promotion. Well today, I called to use my free night stay. Was told I did not have enough points. Points? I was never told points had anything to do with it? So let me explain this to you, Each hotel gave me about 1, 100 points for each night. Then given 6, 500. That was for my free night stay. The place I was trying to book needed 25, 000 points. OK, so its an equal or lesser value? so I looked up the places I stated at to see how many points it cost for there. The first one was 30, 000. The second one was 25, 000 and the third one was 40, 000. Wow so I was not looking for my free night stay to be more than what I stayed at. I did an experiment and tried to find the lowest point reservation I could. Which was a motel in Portland. It had one start on reviews. It was in a crime and drug rated area and that reservation took 12, 000 points. At this point I called the customer service back and started my way back up. Explaining about how I was never explained about this points being apart of it. How I actually planned my trip of these three stays around Comfort Inns so that I could get in this promotion. Some of them costing more or being out of my way. Nobody cared. Some would say they were transferring me and put me back at the main menu. Some were just rude and hung up on me. Then I talked with one supervisor that just told me that well I can give you 2, 000 points. Ok not to be rude, but now that I know about your points that is now a slap in the face. He finally told me that I really should be calling the hotels... They are the ones that did the false advertising and never told me to the points. I asked him... Are you serious? That is what you want me to do? So, I called one first. I talked with a supervisor at the front desk who was leaving a message with her manager. She was furious and stated don't worry I have started something and there will be a call back to me regarding this matter. I talked with another hotel who actually was the one that told me about the promotion in the first place. He had been with comfort suites for 5 years. He was the one I talked to when trying t place the reservation. He told me to hang up and make the appt online so that I got in on this promotion. He told me that even his brochure said nothing about points just that both appts had to be made on choice hotels website. He took my information then gave me the managers email so that I can also email him this information. The third one I will call back next week when his manager gets in.
So, I tried to call choice hotels supervisor back to let them know what I found out when calling all these hotels. By now I had quite a few notes put in my file for he was rude from the get go. Stated he refused to go into circles and there was nothing to be done and hung up on me.
Is there really no resolution? I have started putting reviews up. Most of the places that I have put reviews already had kind of the same reviews as mine.

Choice Hotels International poorly managed

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel and it was THE worst hotel we have ever stayed at. When we checked in and got to our room, it was not the type of room reserved, (king) so we went back to the front desk and was given the right type of room. The window in the room was partially open due the fact the screen was so bent the window would not close or lock. we fixed it ourselves. The coffee pot still had a dirty coffee filter in it and the pot had coffee in it as well. Then next evening we attended a concert, got back to our room at 10pm and it had not been cleaned. We had to call the front desk to ask for clean towels. After 30mins and no clean towels, we had to call and ask again. This hotel is in good shape, but is so poorly managed that it takes away from any good there is. We will never stay at this hotel again

Choice Hotels International room condition

On 8/6/18 my wife and I checked in to the Quality Inn (PA412) to meet up with other family members to attend my father-in-laws funeral. We unpacked and left the room to meet up with other family members staying at the hotel. We attended a family gathering and returned to the hotel around 11:00 PM that night. When we entered the room we noticed there was about 10-15 fruit flies in the room. We took it with a grain of salt and went to sleep. When we woke the next morning there was about 75 to 100 fruit flies in the room, they were everywhere. It was so bad we ended up going to another family members room to get ready to attend the funeral. Needless to say, we stayed at another hotel for the remainder of our stay.

Choice Hotels International double billing!

In july 2018 my husband, an I were able to make a visit back home. With the help of my mother, son, an sister. They covered the cost of our 4 night stay, at the comfort suites north on dupount rd., from july 11 th. To checkout, on sunday morning july 15 th... The bill said zero balance due! Later that sunday afternoon, on our way home, I noticed they had charged my sister' s credit card [ 2 ] time's. The hotel manager has been contacted.!. She's the one, who double billed my sister. Now the hotel is giving my sister the run around! Because like any hard working person these day's, a dollar doesn't go very far.! An all she asked is to refund her credit card the $ 101.58 that her credit card was over charged! It's been nothing but a night mare. The hotel locked us out of our room the 2 nd. Day we were there. Said their was a $ 86.10 balance due on the choice rewards. So my husband had to pay it, to get back into our room.222 an to top everything off we got home. When I started to unpack a couple day's later, in horror, to find someone had stole both set's, of my wedding ring's, right out of my travel bag! With a value of almost $ 10, 000 dollar's! An the hotel, really did nothing but blow me off! An the! Same for their corp. Headquater's! Police say, pretty much they can't do anything, do to some travel non sense! So their you go folk's!

Choice Hotels International double charge

I made online reservation for a reserve now pay later room. Two days before arrival my credit card was charged for two nights. Upon arrival the clerk asked for my card and ID. She charged me for two days again. When I tried to use my card again in it was overdrawn. I called and talked to the clerk she said it was normal for them to charge double, in 3 to 5 days my card would be credited for the overcharge. I asked to talk to the manager, clerk said the manager was out of the country. I asked for his phone number, clerk refused to give me his number. She was very rude, called me a liar, later I called the office, she hung up on me and refused to answer the phone 4 times when I tried to call back.

Choice Hotels International customer service

Calling them for service is a joke... There is no one that ever answers the phone. The recording keeps playing the same message over and over. I am a member with a "diamond" rating... And my calls were all made during the posted times they have scheduled on the web site... I have called them and waited 28 minutes then called them the next day and waited 17 minutes no answer.

As an employee at one of choice Privileges hotels I have come across some very mean members, and I want to know how I can file a complaint on your members, so they don't continue to go to other properties and do the same thing as been done to me. We as employees, need a hot line or something, in our behalf, because these members go back and write bad reviews on our hotel because they can, even if the situation is beyond our control, and that's not right. I believe in guest first and all that, but sometimes we need to be protected too against some of the bad apples and there are a few. So I'm suggesting that you help us as employees to be able to contact someone and give the member number and have something posted on their file just like the are able to comment on our hotels

Choice Hotels International phone cancellation of reservation not honored.

Regarding reservation confirmation # [protected], case # 9060305:
Original reservation made in February 2018 for a stay at the Kanab, UT Comfort Suites location in April. My itinerary changed. When attempting to cancel the reservation on 3 consecutive days, April 5, 6 and 9, 2018 via my Choice Hotels Rewards online account, I received an error message that my reservation number could not be found. I then twice called Choice Hotels customer service, and after waiting 45 minutes for someone to answer, I was informed that my reservation number was not in the system nor was it an active reservation at the specific hotel location. I asked to have my cancellation request documented on my Rewards account and was assured it was taken care of.
Needless to say this did not happen. I was charged for a no-show night. Since I was not given a cancellation confirmation number (because my original reservation could not be found in the system), the Manager at the Kanab, UT Comfort Suites will not honor the phone cancellation and will not issue a refund of the no-show charge. A case number was opened but have had no resolution or response from Choice Hotels. Since each location is independently owned and operated, I have come to understand that they are NOT connected to corporate customer service and do not share information. I believe this way of doing business is a scam.
All Choice Hotel brands have lost my business. This charge is in dispute with my credit card company.

Choice Hotels International econo lodge room rolla, mo.

We booked a NONE smoking room and were at first given a smoking room. This room had beds made up with dog hair all over the beds and dried urine all over the toilet. Of course being a smoking room smelled as well. My wife called the manager and described the room to be a possible mix up. After some argument from the night manager, she agreed to give us another room. Went to the office and then told the manager of the rooms conditions as concern for the next person. She stated she was going to check into it. We were given room 114, a nonsmoking room. Please note that the shower in that room has its water lines crossed. In other words when you turn it to cold as marked it gets hot, and visa versa. We did eat breakfast which was good. After being gone all day we returned around 9:00pm. Found the room had not been cleaned. When I called the night manager she said huh. Then said she would check into it. Did not offer another cleaned room or bring even towels. Please note that the hotel did not appear to even remotely be fully booked. I asked for towels and she then said sure. The rooms were older which was fine. It was housekeeping and its lack of management which are my complaints. I forgot to mention to the office manager about the shower water lines. They should be corrected before someone is hurt. Our stay was 4/Friday to 4/6 Sunday 2018 at the econo lodge in Rolla, MO.. My name is Andrew Ebert @ [protected]@yahoo.com. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

Choice Hotels International motel

My husband and I stayed at this motel for 2 days and on the day we left we got 200 additional dollars taken off our debit card, we had already paid for our 2 nights so I called and a manager told me it was for having a pet in the room. That is ridiculous we do nothave have pets of any kind, this manager argued with me for 20 minutes. I want my money returned I have not had a pet in years and most certainly didn't have one in this motel. The manager thought he could handle me by offering me 50$ of my money back, I still havt seen that money and its been days. He also told me he had pictures well I wanted to see them so I can see what he's talking about, I will take this as far as I can because I have 50 or more friends and family that can swear that we have no pets, so I don't know where these people cameto up with this absurdity but I would like my money back asap, thank you

Choice Hotels International lack of responses to my complaint

We stayed at the newly acquired (I believe) Econolodge in Athens Alabama on Jan 22. I paid cash for the room, dropped my bag and went for dinner. Upon returning noticed that the room was not very well cleaned, needed major repairs, have kids colouring on the walls, but nothing disgusted me more than turning back the sheets to go to bed to discover they were dirty, stained, recently, and there were burn holes in the pillow, bedspread, and underpad, and the non smoking room had definitely been smoked in recently.
I went to the front desk and the girl there apologized and gave me clean sheets which I put on! No offer of a refund no help to change the bed. Next morning upon check out I told the gentleman at the desk of the issues, he said sorry but that was it. Breakfast was a joke, took one look at the 6 mini donuts spread out, the waffle batter in a squeeze bottle that was separating and we walked out.
I later sent my concerns to choice hotels who forwarded my concerns to the very hotel who did nothing for me when I was there. After a few emails with the. They say they will send me $15 which has not yet arrived. Hardly worth the effort since this place was so dirty it should be shut down by the health department.
I am sadly disappointed in choice Hotels for not trying to repair the customer service disappointment themselves, I always thought of their hotels as a safe choice but apparently not and no one in customer service seems to care. The auto response says some one will get Back to me But apparently not.

Choice Hotels International online booking service

Feb. 2, 2018, I tried to book a room at the Comfort Inn in Katy, Tx. on choicehotels.com. The price for 3 nights was confirmed, with taxes & fee, s for $222.87. After I submitted all my information I received this message, "We're sorry, we were unable to make your reservation. Please try again later or call us at [protected]."
I called and spoke with Cinco and then supervisor Joy. Neither employee was able to help me.

I then called a competitor booking group and booked the same room easily on-line.

I have stayed at Comfort Inns in the past and I look forward to my Feb. stay in Katy, Tx at the facility on Mason Road.

I'm very disappointed in the quality of the on-line service. The price of the room that I did book is $3 per night higher than the advertised price I received on the Choice Hotel site. Most importantly for future reservations I would expect to be able to make a reservation with the hotel via the on-line service. Although a total of $9 isn't much, I would hope to have my bill reduced that much if possible.

Thank you for a response.

Choice Hotels International room temperature - no heat

Name: David Hudson
Confirmation Number: [protected]
Room 325

Hello,

Stayed at Quality Suites Buckhead Village ( Atlanta ) last night 12JAN18 - 13JAN18. Upon checking in I was advised I was upgraded to a suite. While the upgrade was appreciated it ultimately put me in a room in which the heat did not work. Found this out when returning to room after midnight and with it being around 30 degrees outside the room had an obvious chill. In attempting to turn the heat up / on the thermostat was non responsive. Given the hour and tired I went to bed hoping the heat would eventually kick on. Temperature showed 63 degrees at the time. Waking up this morning it was quite cold. Thermostat showed 58 degrees. Another attempt for some heat to no avail. Not bothering with a shower I packed it up and checked out. Upon surrendering my keys at the front desk I informed the lady behind the counter. She merely said " I'll let them know, sorry about that". No concern whatsoever. No thank you for your staying with us, etc..
Again, the upgrade was appreciated but it was unneeded. I registered as 1 adult. That was a choice of the hotel. That choice unfortunately made my stay uncomfortable.
I am therefore requesting some compensation. While I feel a full refund is justified but in wanting to be fair, a 50% refund would be acceptable.
Other than the heat issue and the cold shoulder upon checking out I was satisfied with my stay. Being I will be in the area again in the future I would still consider staying there again, though that consideration hinges on the decision of my request.

Thank you in advance for your soonest attention and response.

Sincerely,
David Hudson

Choice Hotels International quality inn and suites / employees throwing away items left in the room by customers

Reservation # [protected]
I call the hotel front desk the evening that I checked out because I had left a new container of hand cream that I had just purchased in the room. The front desk clerk (Dena) said she would check to see if it had been turned in and call me back. I had to call the next morning and check again and spoke with (Maria) she said she would check and get back with me. Neither clerks called so we we went to the hotel to speak to the clerk in person and they both said that the housecleaning people must have thrown it away. I then called the customer support line and spoke the a man that said your company policy is not to discard item found in the rooms but to hold them in case the customer calls back for them and that he would have the hotel look at camera to see if housekeeping did have the item or throw it away.
I have not been contacted by anyone from Quality inn & Suites.

Choice Hotels International the only good part at this rodeway was the manager

We really appreciate your input! Please provide as much detail as possible

I am on your site to make a complaint for a friend regarding a stay going on currently. After finding I cannot do that since your wanting feedback on your site as well every time I have tried to click on a link it says its not available. Not only us it frustrating but between that and my friend currently staying in a room infested with roaches at your Rodeway Inn located at 2041 Freemont Street, in Monterey Ca. That she is STILL BEING MADE TO PAY FOR and being told she is being given a "deal" by only being charged 60$ instead of more which is complete insanity but she has run out of funds and doesn't want to complain but is in her room sick and hardly moving without food still trying to figure out the last 20$ the guy "Sid" at the hotel wants her to still pay after being there for 4 days with ROACHES and being charged over 100$! YOUR COMPANY IS INSANE ! She has NO FOOD after having to throw everything out due to roaches and so now you have a sick guest, broke and starving in a room with roaches. Will you do ANYTHING?

Her name is Krystine Cattaneo and is at 2041 North Freemont, Monterey, .Ca 93940 The number there is [protected]. She is in room 109. I know she doesn't know where to go and hasn't the money or energy to move but AT LEAST should receive a FULL REFUND for her stay and be allowed to stay for free unroll the 3rd when she goes back home. Maybe then she can afford food! I PRAY you will do something since I know she won't complain due to not feeling well PROBABLY FROM THE ROACHES AND SPRAY USED TO RID THE ROOM OF THEM.
A VERY DISAPPOINTED, DISGUSTED, AND DISTURBED Friend of a "guest" being treated like nothing in a hotel YOU CLAIM TO REPRESENT. IF YOU DONT DO SOMETHING ILL GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THIS AND SEVERAL OTHER OF YOUR DISGUSTING PROPERTIES.
