Good morning,
I called the reservation desk this morning regarding the reservation I booked and paid for at the Howard Johnson in Thunder Bay for my sister in law Dori; see email below.
I understand that there is no refund for this reservation. What I requested was for the date to be changed as the highway for me to drive to Thunder Bay from my location is closed due to freezing rain.
I was informed that there is no refund for the reservation and I explained to the Agent that I wasn't looking for a refund but for the date to be amended to May 5th.
The Agent told me that amending the date is not an option. Where exactly does it say under your policies that a date can't be amended? It only says "non-refundable".
The Agent told me that my only option was to cancel the reservation and rebook it. This would have led me to be charged twice for the same reservation.
I would suggest that you amend your online policy that you send customers and for it to specifically state that not only is the room non refundable but that the reservation dates can't be amended.
I will certainly be making others aware of the poor quality customer service I received from your reservation desk and will book directly with Howard Johnson in Thunder Bay in the future.
