My daughter and I stayed July 8-10, 2024 at the Omni resort homestead in ********. We bought our ticket through Priceline which indicates a ****** resort fee. Upon checking in the front desk stated there is a refundable incidental fee of 300. I went to handle affairs and came back and then was told I am sorry it is ~700 which will be refunded back after your stay. Not sure what to do and not able to cancel I paid the ~700. By morning I awoke to find an addition charge off ~300. I called the front desk and they said they were sorry and it would be refunded by my bank after my stay, but could take time for bank to process. I got charge a little over 1000 dollars in hold fees which I only budgeted for my trip so I ended up with my account only having ********. The staff did give me a food credit to use at resort, which put me at ease since I didnt know how I was going to feed my child otherwise with only 7 dollars. Then upon checkout I took my daughters left overs to front desk upon checkout to ask if they had a microwave. The staff took the food to heat and about an hour in I was told by staff that the gal was new and she threw it away by mistake. The staff did fix that issue and had the restaurant make a new batch of Mac and cheese without me asking. I was thankful for that since I needed food for my daughters ride home. I had a long drive home to the beach in ************** and thankfully had a full tank of gas and 7 dollars to put in tank. I made it thankfully 10miles from home with the check engine light on. It took my bank till Friday to release the funds back. We tried to make the most of the situation but it ended up putting me in a stressful situation, we werent able to leave the property the whole time due to funds so our trip consisted only the hotel pool and movie theater. I am very confused by charges being so high given amount I payed for two nights?Price per night $381.60Business response

I stayed at this hotel June 27, 2024-June 29, 2024. I pre-paid for my room ahead of time so upon arriving, I owed nothing. The hotel wanted a card to hold on file for incidentals. They put a $200 hold on my card and told me that I would receive this money back 8-14 business days after checking out. Today is July 26, 2024. 30 days later and i still have not received my money back. I have called several times to resolve the issue, being polite as possible when I really dont have to be. I was told that the merchant was contacted and the money should be released July 19th. I still have not received my money. Unacceptable to do this to anyone especially when I paid for my room ahead of time. They left me no choice but to go about it this way. I attached the reservation and then the email from the hotel 30 days later still trying to resolve the matter. I am requesting my room stay and my credit card hold = $506.62+$199.99= $706.62Business response

July 12, 2024 I booked the OMNI ********************* in *******, ** through BOOKING.COM. When I got to the hotel, they couldn't find the reservation and I showed him on my phone it was clearly booked. He said he'd "figure it out". Apparently, how he figured it out is he double booked me and I was charged massively for two hotel rooms. I've been arguing with my credit card company for a refund and they said because I willingly gave the credit card, they can't refund it. Been arguing and wasting my time for weeks. Now I want to be fully refunded for everything for this preposterous grief!Business response

I planned a weekend trip for my wifes birthday and the financial position Im in right now i was looking for a nice hotel cheap. I found a great deal on Priceline and somehow the dates were messed up when i did it. I got an email saying thanks for your stay while i was at work and thats when i knew i messed up. I know i messed up but for a business to be claiming to be a family business i thought i would find some understanding. Priceline is ready to refund the money but the Omni isnt. They wont even help me out with it being a no show.Business response

Placed an order for 3 laptops to be delivered to the hotel. I went to get my laptops, but only 2 were given to me. The 3rd laptop went missing somewhere between the hotels ************ desk. Once I realized that the 3rd was gone, I spoke with the Front Desk Manager, *****************************, about our next steps. Once it was clear that the laptop was not going to be recovered, ******* assured me, both verbally & in writing, that I would be promptly reimbursed the $595 for the missing laptop. Timeline:May 18-Claim made (Ref # *********)23-Reached out to ******* today to follow up 29-Provided ******* with the 3 Proof of Delivery documents, the photo of the 2 laptops that were received, & the shipping labels. Reached out to Corporate today to elevate the issue, since it was not being handled promptly. They opened another case for this claim (Ref # *********). Corporate elevated the issue to the Resolution ***** ****** said they will get back to us within 72 hours 31-Followed up with ****************************** today. ******* stated that she is still in talks with **** which is senseless as we have the Proof of Delivery. After that call with *******, I reached out to Corporate to follow up about the way ******* is handling the issue; they escalated the issue after seeing how many times I have reached out, but the Escalation Specialist was largely unhelpful also June:5-******* emails me back for the 1st time 10-Followed up with ******* today, but she was out of office. Emailed ******* the Invoice as she requested. 13-Followed up with ******* today, as she was out of office in the earlier part of this week. She said that on 6/10 (the day she was out of office) she forwarded her corporate team the invoice we provided, & she is going to follow up with them July: 2-Reached out to ******* a final time today before elevating this issue. ******* provided no potential timeline for reimbursement.She could never provide me with a timeline for resolution or another contact.Business response

I recently stayed here for a conference. The rooms are outdated and there was rust on the bathroom fixtures. I also had a major incident with the restaurant in the hotel. A colleague and I ate lunch on day 3 of the conference. When I paid, the servers switched my debit card with someone elses at another table. I did not realize this until later when trying to purchase something elsewhere. I was able to track down the other person whose card I had been given, but she was already traveling back to her home and was several hours away by that point. When I told restaurant management, they could not care less and offered no solutions. They were not concerned that I was in a different city with no debit card. It was incredibly disheartening that they could not offer any help and just said, oh the cards looked similar. That is unacceptable to me. I attempted to complain to the hotel manager and was directed to the concierge supervisor. The concierge supervisor was concerned but only passed me back to the restaurant and asked them to ask the other individual if she could overnight me my card to the hotel. That inconvenienced her even further after we were both incredibly inconvenienced due to negligence. They told me they would call the other person and then get in touch with me to inform me of the outcome. They never got in touch with me and I assume they just threw my concerns away. I will never stay or eat at other Omni company. I still do not have my card and it has been radio silence from the hotel and restaurant.Business response

I checked in on 4/18 and everything seemed fine. While at the pool it closed and at first I was told it would open back up after 25 mins which did not open. When I got back to the room to shower the hot water didnt work and I had to take a cold shower. It took a while to reach the front desk and I was told a manager would call me back and I was never given a call. I go to check out and there are charges from the deli that I did authorize and the front desk agent is looking at me like Im lying. I had to tell him to get the receipt. I dont know why there are agents who argue with customers in the front **********************. And to add I ordered chicken wings and they were all ******..all 10 of them. You spend all this money and get horrible service. Anyone can order anything on anyones room just by giving the room number because the workers dont ask for the last name as they should. I am very dissatisfied and a birthday weekend was ruined by the service I was provided. The workers didnt care not one once. I l was not satisfied and if I could of reached the manager before I left I would of let them know but of course the agents say the manager is not here or busy.Business response
