Customer Service at its worst!

I booked the stay, not realizing it was nonrefundable so, that was 100% on me. When tried to cancel via virtual chat - it would reach out to the hotel and see if they would be willing to cancel with the refund and get back to me within 24 hours. I had no problem accepting the decision either way but this is where it went south I called at 6:30 AM on Friday. Check-in was not until Saturday at 3 PM - within the 24 hour. I spoke with a very incompetent, rude employee named Crystal. She said the manager was off duty until Monday so I would not hear from them until then - I asked how would that work - if the room was for tomorrow at 3 PM and no mgr was available until Mon. it makes no sense? She said nothing would change - no refund, but I wouldn’t find out until Mon. I asked why would they even send me the notification that they would get back to me within 24 hours knowing that was not an option she basically said I don’t know what you want me to say they’re not going to refund you then without notifying me she put me on hold - transferred me to corporate. Thankfully a very kind woman explained everything to me. Needless to say, I changed my mother’s day plans as to not be out the 200+ dollars. Unfortunately, the hotel was not even worth it and i should have took the $ loss. Not like the pics/ Dirty - rundown/ slow elevator - 6 min wait slow ( I was on the 4th) doors didn’t lock for security w/key card as it should.No pool towels. breakfast was subpar. Owners should pay a visit

6/10 Good

The hotel was clean and comfortable. However, when we arrived back in our roon at 10:30 pm the guests next door were loud. It got quiet by 11, so we could live with that. Unfortunately, we were jarred awake at 2:30 am from the same neighbors with very loud foul language, banginging around, wrestling, throwing each other down, more cussing, laughing, etc. We tried to call the front desk but no one picked up. Finally, my husband banged on the door and told them to quiet down. They were obviously very intoxicated, but finally they must have gone to a different room. I shared my complaint with the front desk when we checked out and she said a manager would get back with me. That has never happened.
