I booked a room with a city view for 6/7-6/9/2014. Upon arrival I received the key and went to my room and did not have a city view I paid extra for. I went back down and was told they were sold out. I went back to my room to take a shower and had no hot water. I spoke with ***** and he said they had no room to move me to and would have maintenance come. They never did . Each day no hot water after multiple complaints. No phone, no room service and was charged ***** per parking that I was never told about. I left complaints each day several times and they were documented. On Monday I called the ** ********************* and he said he would make me happy and would call me Tuesday. I still have not received a call. I emailed him and he said he was investigating and would call me back. Still no call. I emailed him and he did respond and told me he would add 5000 points to my account and I told him that was wrong and I would not accept that. I called IHG corp and was told they cant force him to do anything.1. No city view I paid for 2. Charges for parking and was never told 3. Room not cleaned entire time 4. No working phone 5. Loud banging entire time of my stay due to construction 6. ******** ** told me they do t have a business license 7. No HOT water This is not a way to treat paid guestCustomer response

First of all they are Holiday Inn. They are opening without a business permit. This is according to ******** Co
i spoke with Front desk clerk ***** and explained several times we had no hot water. I was told by ***** he would take the parking off since I was not told about it. I never asked for my entire bill to be waived just 1 night which I thought was fair. I opened a case with IHG and told them what happened and after calling several times they reached ***** who lied to them as well. They called me back several days later and said they were privately owned and they could not force them to do anything. They agreed after their investigation I was done wrong but they cant force him to do anything.
We had no hot water, room was not cleaned, phone not working. And loud construction above our room the entire time! Asking for 1 night to be waived was not to much to ask.Business response

Last time he call me after we spoke and told him IHG dose not find motive for a refund the hotel and I will waive his parking. He wanted all of his day and parking stay for no issues when I asked ******************** why is he doing this? He said he never payid so much to stay at a hotel and just wanted his whole stay back. Please let me know if have any questions.
Sincerely,

My wife *************************** and her friend *********************************** stayed at the Clarion Nashville downtown from 9/15/19, 2022 to 9/19/22. My wife gave her credit card for incidentals only, but her card was charged $881.69 on 9/15/22 for a room (and $3 for incidentals on 9/20/22). The rooms had been prepaid by her friend and my wife should not have been charged the $881.69 for a room. We called the hotel front desk and they confirmed that my wife should not have been charged.We were advised that a refund of $881.69 would be coming. On 10/18/22, we received the refund on our CITI credit card in the amount of $884.69 (room charge and incidental), but then were charged $881.69 again for a room! (see attachments). I called the hotel numerous times to speak with the manager, but he never returned my call despite receiving several messages. I escalated the case to Choice Hotels corporate and they filed a case number ******** on my behalf, but I was told the refund had to come directly from the hotel and they would reach the hotel to have the manager call me to resolve this issue. I received no call back. I continued to call them on numerous occasions, but the hotel general manager does not answer or return my call. If you could please assist us in attaining a refund of $881.69. That would be very much appreciated. Thank you.***********************Customer response

I was able to speak with the guest on the evening of Thursday, December 15, 2022. I was able to understand the issue that the guest was having with billing. A change of the arrival date had resulted in a large increase in the price of the overall stay compared to what the guest was originally told by the company when booking. Although it is policy that the date change can result in a significant price change, I was able to empathize with the guest regarding how the misunderstanding occurred. In this particular case, due to the circumstances, I have refunded the guest for the disputed amount. We were able to have a very good and productive conversation. Since the refund typically takes ***** business hours to process, the guest was told that the refund can be expected to show back up in the account around Tuesday (12/20/22) or Wednesday (12/21/22). If for any reason, the bank or credit card company has not released the funds back into the guests account by the end of next week, I have asked the guest to give me a direct call back so that I can try and assist with expediting the process.Customer response

On Sunday, 9/18/21, I made a reservation for the Clarion Hotel(Stadium) in Nashville, TN through ***********, and the very next day, I cancelled it online. Then I felt as if it did not go through so I called their customer service and spoke with a "***" to cancel. "***" told me that I could cancel without being charged and the reservation would still be held until 9/26/2021 and I had until that date at 4 pm to cancel without being charged. I asked "***" at least 3 to 4 time if I would be charged the $146 and he stated no each time. He even asked me if I just wanted to change the date and I told him I wasn't sure because I would just be driving through on my way to Florida. The reason for the cancellation was because of the time that we are leaving Ohio had to change due to life issues. "***" told me to let *********** know that this would be cancelled without a charge, but they are not honoring that in the email that I was sent.Business response

Guest proceeded with the change and agreed to the penalty and still stayed at the hotel on the desired day. If the guest is seeking compensation he should contact ***********
