I showed up at 5 pm yesterday I noticed from the very beginning the first time I use the restroom upstairs that the toilet was clogged in about an hour went by and I was very very cold and I noticed that the downstairs wall unit would not blow hot heat and then I went upstairs and noticed that the top floor level would not go to heat it said it was 60° so I tried to wait a while and see what would happen nothing happened I noticed there was cold air blowing in the vents from the vents and it was already a very cold night and that is why I paid 100 In a hotel I have been sick for the past three days I feel worse I even have a family member that laid in the bed and said this bed is ice cold so we went to the desk he refuse to change our rooms did not offer us a plunger gave us a space heater and sent us back to the room the space heater did nothing to raise the temperature because there was cold air blowing to the vet the toilet stayed for clogged the whole night so I close the top then we went to the store early in the morning when a family member got out of work at Amazon he works a 10 hour shift and third shiftWe went to the convenient store and was only gone for 45 minutes came back the hallway ceiling going to the room with fell down water coming out everywhere I didn’t even think anything of it I just thought they were having a leak didn’t even think my toilet overflow because it didn’t overflow all night maintenance man knocked on my door which is really cool I stayed here many times but I have an issue with the same man at the front desk I felt horrible that the maintenance man had to come to work and deal with this whole big mess of chaos because of this one little problem at the counter He could’ve prevented all these problems any missing work today and getting no sleep and everything else and having a horrible day for 100 bucks by just switching the room there was no heat which in the state of Florida you’re required to have it I’m very pissed I’m very upset and I cannot believe that this happened they were also a gentleman standing outside my door which I know they could see it on the cameras for two hours right across from me I felt very uncomfortable I was waiting on a family member to get off of work in this dude was talking outside the door stating they’re weird with a bicycle out front I didn’t even wanna go outside to walk my animals and then this morning last but not lease which I have no complaints the maintenance man is wonderful I feel very bad and so is the manager here he’s wonderful too and so is the other girl that has been here for a while she’s a very nice girl whoever’s down there at the front with the little sarcastic smile on her face that when I’m going through right now is funny that’s very uncalled for you don’t understand and realize What other people are going through and that is unacceptable behavior in the workplace environment as well in the last I also complained about the marijuana smell in the room they did not he did nothing this could’ve all been prevented by just switching our room and I hate complaining I am not a complainer you can ask anybody that knows me but this situation was very abnormal thank you and I’m sorry I had to waste your time my time the maintenance man’s time and everybody else involves time for a silly situation like this God bless you

Do not ever stay at a Choice Hotel! We reserved rooms in SC for a race. We went to hotel before race and were told rooms were not ready. Went back to check in after the race and we were told rooms were no longer available. To top it off I was charoged for room that was given to someone else. I have been fighting with them since Sept 2019 for reimbursement of room. They keep telling me that check is in mail. "Bull!". It is now December 2019 and still no reimbursement! I will never stay in Choice Hotel ever again, even if my life depends on it!

comfort inn mercer PA. never stay here. room 146 had poop in toilet, hair in tub, dirty shower curtain and trash papers on floor between night stand and bed then the bed was full of black bugs , and the other be had a lot of animal hair all over the bedspread! then went to office to complain they changed the room to room 154 went into 154 again the beds were full of black bugs with wings on some. my son got all bit up in the 3 minutes we was in the room . went back to office and handed in the keys and left drove 30 min down the road and stayed at a holiday inn express ! called corporate guest relations and all they would do was give me 2,000 points …. really its a minimum of 8k point for a free night somewhere. and i had to pay almost double for 1 night at holiday inn but i guess 80 a night at comfort inn only gets you a bug infested room, dirty shower and toilets. so disappointed in comfort inn … this hotel doesn't even deserve a travel lodge logo!!

1. When we checked in about 5 PM July 12, 2019, we learned that our reservation for a King Non-smoking was not being honored, all they had was a smoking room. I requested a non- smoking room, was advised that all they had was a double queen room, our quoted price for the King non-smoking was $113.05, but when we took the Queen the price jumped to $165.00 (something is terribly wrong with this picture).
2. The room and property was substandard, in very poor condition, the worst I've ever stayed in.
A. The entry steps (2 steps) was rock and same color as the walkway, my wife lost her balance and fell hurting herself.
B. The TV was inoperable. no remote control functions. The Desk Clerk come to the room, had 2 other remotes and finally turned the TV on, was able to select "1" channel, and told us to try and not change anything, they would try and get a repairman out the next day. So we tried to sleep with that TV on all night..it was fixed the next day.
C. Desk and night stands had no lamps, the only light was provided by ceiling spot lights.
D. No clock in the room.
E. Bathroom cabinet under the sink had screws missing from the handles and they just hung loosely. The drawer facia panels were also missing screws, or screws were loose.
F. The bathroom sink was very rusty around the drain.
Someone needs to inspect this property, other than a guest.

My welcome at the Amarillo, TX Quality Inn 1515 I-40 East on 23 June 2019 was the worst I have ever experienced! After driving from Cheyenne, WY in over 10 hours....I eagerly pulled into the QI complex noted above for our reservation at 9:45pm parking under the covered area directly in front of the door. A lady named Chrissy with short reddish hair and glasses was behind the desk...she didn't acknowledge or greet my wife and I when we approached the desk at all staring down at a computer screen on the customer left side of the counter. My wife mentioned that we had a reservation under my name, but we wanted to charge the room to a different credit card. Any verbal or non-verbal communications by Chrissy were sharp, edgy and unwelcoming. Her mad or pissed off attitude showed up when said " sign here... no here! " "Pointing and firmly tapping the credit card machine....then she says initial and sign the usual Choice form ......then raises her voice slightly SIGN at the bottom! My wife asked her if we were hopefully on the ground floor..... She replied yes...... Here is your key, room #153...Chrissy pulled out a diagram quickly saying your room is here!
Then neither one of us can boast proudly what happened next! After driving so many hours to reach the hotel, I asked Chrissy and using the parking diagram she had, which way did we pull in? ....because I didn't want to drive all the way around the facility by perhaps going the wrong direction....which happens to everyone sometime in their life! Chrissy then blew up!!!!! She says "Oh my God!" Then while looking directly at my wife and says " if you need anything.... you let me know! ". Then Chrissy picks up the phone and "Hello Mr. Johnson....this is Chrissy"!!!
I have been in the customer service arena for 40+ years....I was a PGA Professional / General Manager at the largest USAF base in Europe (Ramstein AB, Germany); Golf Course Manager for 7 year at Aviano AB, Italy; Community Services Flight Chief at Holloman AFB, NM (responsible and supervising managers and operations for an Officer Club, Enlisted Club, Bowling Center, Golf Course, Aero Club, Community Center, Vet Clinic, Arts & Crafts/ Auto & Wood Shop, Outdoor Recreation & Resiliency Training). I am no stranger to customer service and Chrissy 's customer service skills are very questionable to achieve Choice Hotels core values / goals!!!!

I received an email this morning at 9:30 AM for the 50,000 bonus point reward for signing up for the Choice Visa card,
At 2:30 PM, I try to check out the details only to find that this offer has expired.
Why so quick????

We recently stayed in the Comfort Inn and Suites in Irondale, Alabama. We have a trained service dog for medical purposes. At breakfast, one of the workers, named Patricia, told us that the dog was not allowed in the breakfast area. We said he was because he is a service dog with full access legally. Patricia then proceeded to argue with me and say again that the dog was not allowed. We did not leave, but I heard Patricia bad mouthing me to another employee. During checkout the lady at the front desk said that service animals are not allowed in the breakfast area because of "corporate policy". I told her the law states that service animals are allowed anywhere the handler needs to go by law and cannot be discriminated against. She again said it was corporate policy and acted very rude when I asked for her name and also for my receipt.
I have stayed in many Choice Hotels and am a points member. I have never had this issue before so I know it's not policy to break federal law when it comes to service animals. I also know it's not company policy to treat customers so rudely and talk badly about them within earshot of the customer. I am still very angry about this incident and wanted to report it so that won't happen to another customer. I also think the people at that hotel should be reprimanded and probably better trained on the law.

Iarrived in Martinsville Va on Saturday June 8. i had a reservation but there was a car show in town so the hotel was booked so i was told by the front desk clerk (janell)to go ahead and pay for all 3 (three) nights. Once i returned on Monday I HAD NOI RESERVATION. and the money was placed back on my card in 4 business days. i traveled 250 miles and thought i would have the room that i paid for.

So many complaints about losing precious Choice points it is not funny.
We have been saving Choice points (32,391) for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan back in Feb. Reservations were made, however, due to health issues we had to cancel the trip. My family has been Loyalty Choice Hotels Members since 2016. Today, I was trying to book a hotel up in NYC for a family reunion, I was in shock finding out that all 32K points were gone; I emailed and inquired why, the customer service replied immediately & told me that my points were forfeited last 03/01/19 due to inactivity.
I have received NO warning, advise, or just plain notification from CHOICE about the expiration. I DID NOT FORFEIT my points, they were taken away from me without notice. My calculation of the expiration is Aug 2019. you guys should not just arbitrarily steal hard-earn points from your loyal customers. So not happy with CHOICE Hotels points management team.

We stayed here specifically because of the amazing advert in one of those hotel catalogs you get from the rest area. It boasted it was the newest in the city, hot fresh cookies,free candy in the room, and the big one - ULTRA CLEAN! Also, only $39 with the coupon. Sounds great, right? Not so much. The guy who checked me in was great, but informed me they can only accept 15 of those coupons each day so my $39 was now $78. Ok, it happens. We get to the room and it is a disaster. Walls are super dirty, carpet feels disgusting, and worst of all the entire place reaks like mildew! I couldn't use the pillows because I sleep on my side and they smelled of mildew. I had to go back to my car and get my travel pillow. The breakfast was a huge disappointment. It said there was biscuits and gravy and fresh fruit. Nope. Microwaved eggs and French toast and fruit salad like out of a can. The fruit salad was warm because it was placed in a buffet tub with no ice. The syrup dispenser was broken so it barely came out. It was a huge let down. Overall, I would say an astounding no to this place. I'm not huge on the aesthetics of a place, as long as I can sleep comfortably, but the room smelled awful, so skip it and hit one of the other dozen hotels on I95

The Sleep Inn Bridgeton, Mo is falsely advertising PKF7 rate. I paid extra for this rate for two rooms. We had no problem parking and getting shuttle ride to airport but when we got back 5 days later called to get shuttle was told had new general manager and the shuttle service had been stopped. We would need to get taxi to our cars, we did have to get two cabs .I feel some reimbursement should be done. Desk clerk "who said she was office manager" would not let me talk General manager also informed me PKF7 rate didn’t include shuttle only using parking lot. That is not what is advertised online says shuttle to and from airport. She said no reimbursement would be done.

7 DAY PARK AND FLY = as advertised on Sleep Inn web site

Stay and park for 7 nights free with your next visit. Free roundtrip shuttle service is available 24 hours a day. Additional nights of parking can be purchased at a special rate.

I am currently being $860 for 8 nights stay at this hotel. I reported my wallet stolen or lost back in March after doing so I received an email confirmation stating that I had booked this 8 night stay at this hotel in Dover Delaware I instantly called my credit card company as well as my bank reported all cards lost or stolen after which I contacted choice hotels to see what I could do to cancel this reservation as of this date choice hotel refuses to cancel the reservation as well as returning my 800 plus dollars for a reservation that I did not make nor am I responsible for due to the fact of my cards being lost or stolen I have sent them a copy of the police report stating where the wallet was lost and the actual footage from the store of the person picking up my wallet they still refuse to release my funds were canceled this reservation.due to this situation I am now unable to take my children on vacation this year because I don't have the money to pay for this room and our family vacation as well this is a terrible situation that this hotel has put me in and I cannot believe that they are refusing to return my funds even with all of the evidence that I have presented them I will never stay at any of these hotels ever again and believe me I do a lot of traveling I own a transportation company and I refer a lot of my clients to these hotels which as of this date will cease and desist I will send them to other hotels that don't Rob people.

We stayed in the EconoLodge, a Choice Hotel, on E. 40th Ave, in Aurora, CO. on both May 16 & 26. We left our car in their "secure", "monitored by security cameras" parking area behind the hotel while we were traveling by plane. This is a service they offer and they charge for. We arrived to the hotel from the airport on our return at approximately 2:30 a.m. on 5/27 and checked in. Upon arising later that morning we found that our car had been broken into. The desk staff acted like he couldn't care less. Shrugged his shoulders. Didn't comment. Didn't offer to review the camera footage until I asked. No manager available "she's comes in later". No help when I asked for nearby glass repair or auto repair. Shrugged his shoulders. Did give me a plastic bag for the broken glass after I asked. Housekeeping provided a small broom, after we asked. Manager was same way when she finally came in. Didn't speak to me until I asked if she was the manager and if they had reviewed the camera footage. Come to find out there is only one camera and it is focused on the back door. When we had arrived at the hotel early that morning my husband had gone out to the car briefly. It had not been broken into at that time. But that back hotel door had been propped open with rocks. Apparently no security on the doors either. One other thing -- interestingly we stayed in the same room (#145) both times. I noted the first night that there was a small burn hole in the bedspread. I initially thought it was a bug. Same bedspread, same hole when we returned. How clean do you suppose it was?!? It obviously hadn't been removed from that room. Poor quality and service for a Choice Hotel.

Then my payment.

We spent one night (April 9) in a Rodeway Inn in Augusta GA. It was FILTHY and had roaches! From the outside of the building to the deplorable room, which didn't even have a room number on it, it was a horrible experience.I have sent numerous emails and pictures to the email address the clerk gave me. (gm.ga877@choicehotels.com) I have not had a response. My husband also has sent messages and has not heard from anyone. We are ready to be traveling again and we will not choose a choice hotel for any stops.

Arrived Saturday April 20th. Door to our room was propped open with waste basket. Very cold room as temps were in the low 50's. Room smelled of cigarette smoke (non smoking room) and dogs. Next door neighbor said there were 3 dogs in the room the day before. Burn hole in ottoman, toilet tissue holder was pulled off the was including the drywall. Final straw...there was no handle to turn on water for a bath/shower. All reported to the front desk as we did not want to be held liable. Apologies were given and we given a different room and $20 off our bill. So very dissatisfied with the condition of the room. We reserved this room 3 weeks in advance. How could this mess be offered to people? Very disappointed. $20 does not make up for our experience.

20

I cancelled a reservation over 2 months before my check in date however they still charged my card almost 200! After at least 10 calls I still have no resolution/refund leaving me unsure of how I can get my car out of long term parking. This is horrible to take advantage of people especially when they are away from home!

I checked into Quality Inn located at 2960 Northeast Expressway I 85 Atlanta Ga. on 4/11/19. I wore my most comfortable shoes that I just purchased for $79. I used them that night for slippers because I left my slippers in the car and was too tired to go back out after a ten hour drive. The next day I left my shoes beside my bed and went out in another pair of shoes. When I got back I bought my slippers in but I did not notice my shoes were gone until the next morning when we were about to leave out again. This is when I found my shoes had been stolen. My husband and I checked the room over two times and no shoes. I did not want to accused anyone of stealing but the only person who could have stolen them was the maid who cleans room. I immediately called the front desk and he said person had been there for nine years but will handle. I went out and when I got back I confronted Desk clerk and he had spoken to person over maids and no one owned up to stealing or seeing them. Now someone needs to do something about the crew at this hotel because I know I have not been the first person that someone has stolen from. I am disabled and have problems with my feet and I only get paid once a month. I do not have money to keep buying shoes. I wish someone would look into this matter because this hotel needs to be monitored. I would like compensation for my shoes. I still have my receipt. I will not stay here again.

We stayed at Econolodge , Orlando airport on March 2nd. It was the most horrible stay we have ever had .We rented the room because they advertised wifi and breakfast . We got neither. The wifi didn't work at all and they said they couldn't fix it. The phone in the room didn't work at all.
So each problem we had to go outside and to the front desk. The Tv was not programed properly so we only got a few channels. The room stunk when we entered. They sprayed a chemical . When we checked out at 8am to catch the shuttle there was no breakfast not even coffee. We were told it was too early. Very disappointing stay.

I stayed at the Comfort Suites Choice Hotel in McAlester, OK off of George Nigh Freeway February 3-5, 2019. My Account number was: 632754967. While my stay was pleasant when I checked out and got to my next destination I realized I left my maxi dress on the back of the bathroom door. This was about 6:30 pm when I realized I didn't have it. I never received a call or email from the hotel stating that I left an item. When I tried to call, the phone just rung, they seem to never answer the phone or state they had phone trouble so I called customer service, Reference number 933454. The customer service rep contacted the hotel, of course they answered her call so clearly there was nothing wrong with the phone. When she came back on the line with me she was told no one turned it in. If they cleaned that bathroom they had to find , I left at 7am that morning. It's not like its worth a lot of money but it was the last gift my mother gave to me before she passed away. The cost of it was only $50 but what it meant to me was worth a whole lot more and I only had it for 2 years. I'm very disappointed that either someone kept it or threw it away instead of following protocol and turning it in. I travel a lot with my job and I have left an item or two behind and each time the hotel contacted me that same day and if I had left the area, they mailed it to me at their expense. I'm not sure if I will stay at another Choice Hotel. Renee Thomas

I have had numerous correspondence with customer service who claimed they were sending my issue to their up depart that was over 3 months ago and even though I have tried to contact them I get no response, To cut to chase on your web site I was trying to book a room with points and money. Your website said it did not go through and try again which I did and got the same response. Finally on the 3rd try it took. Since it did indeed book 3 times I was automatically charged for insufficient points at $135. I was unaware of this since no where did it state I lacked the points to book until my credit card statement came in. I explained what happened and Kate at customer resolution wanted the last 4 digits of the credit and notified me of sending it the highest resolution desk. I have not seen any credit on my bill or you taking back the additional points that were unjustly put on my account and charged. You stated that I'm a valued customer but I'm not treated as such. I would like to resolved this directly with you and not having to go public.

The place was horrific and unsafe along with the front desk person not only stealing money from our card but they also lied to cover it. Charged us amenities when none were available except access to dirt needles

I made a complaint on 11/22/18 concerning the molded,damp.bad smell. Old furniture,stains and no tv room. I was suppose to stay there from 11/21-11/24, but I could not take it. I was charge $80.73 for a couple of hour. This happen at 2364 S Loop W. No one has respond or call me about my complaint.I would appreciate my money back. This is very unprofessional. Thanks for nothing.

Quantity Inn on 2364 S Loop W, Houston Tx. I reserved a suite for 4. We drove from Mobile Al and check in at 11:51. The outside was unpleasant looking and I started not to go in. We went to our room #155 the hallway and the room has stains on the carpets, the bedspreads has stains, the lamp shade had holes, the sofa has stains and it was cold and dreary. Plus the tv was not working which the manager said it we be up in a hour. We stayed until 6pm still no tv. So I checked out and paid 80.73. We had to find another hotel. But, the most disturbing part was the price. The new hotel was the same with better accommodations. I will appreciate a feedback.

Hi, My name is Tamara Davis i and currently reside in el cajon ca, i am 32 years old with 2 sons and my fiance. i have been having a hard time getting into an apartment so we have been staying at this hotel for 3or 4 months. i am a student and a mother full time and obey the rules and respect the regulations as well , i pay on time , and i keep the rooms in very good condition during my families stay. Well i have been being harrassed and she has slandered my name and called me a liar, a thief , and a criminal in the worst of ways . she has harrassed me most of my stay for absolutely nothing , she came banging on my door with the graveyard security guard at around 10:00 pm one night and she asked me if i owned a white lexus and told me to come outside to the car . i was hesitant but i was having an adult encounter when they knocked so i had to get dressed the stood at the door the entire time . as we were walking down the corridor to the rear parking lot where my vehicle was ib could feel her talking about me from behind and she said oh those shoes are cute. i get to the car and show her my temp. tag and she said that someone had called and reported the car stolen and she was going to have it towed . i get the registration and other documents as i was drilled for about 20 mins.then she told me i had to checkout because they found a modified hand gun in my room . which was a lie .she took an hour of my time. and insulted me in front of other guest and she argued with me when i told her it wasnt me . after several phone calls .finally she hung up and said that itwas another guest with the same last name. i then asked her several question and i let here know that i am tired of her harrassment and slander and i would be filing court documents. tat is 2 of 14 times ive been accused, threghtened and embarrassed. i have filed several of complaints with corporate and nothing. so since i am currently still at the hotel i want u to CHOICE HOTELS compensate me and my family asap and i will not sue your chain. we would like 5,000 cash and a free suite for 40 days and a gift cardand gas card if u refuse i will see u in court. ladies name marisol

I feel you need to be aware of the horrible; unprofessional, and incompetent experience I had at your hotel last night.

I booked a room with my jobs discount provider., as i do very often, and have never had an issue. After the person registering me complained and snapped at me for using the site, and made me wait 20 minutes because he clearly wasn’t competent with the process, I was told my hotel stay could not be checked in because “he wasn’t paid”....When you are part of a discount group the customer pays them, and has a reservation, which I showed him and he confirmed he saw...There he went on to yell, embarrass me in front of other customers, and frighten my son, when I had paid for my service..I showed the staff my CONFIRMED reservation and he was yelling at me “ I can’t check you in”...He was trying to register me when the discount provider confirms my registration is sent when I booked my room..I called the discount provider and she told him multiple times there was no REASON I could not get a room he has confirmation was paid for, and that he had NO right to deny me services that were paid for...Then he tried to say he didn’t get my information, but you could hear the fax coming through both times she re sent it during my call, and later he admitted I showed up...If you don’t understand the process to partner with a discount provider don’t do it!,. I was screamed and yelled at in front of my son when I was seeking refuge from a 90 degree house due to broken AC....I will never stay in any choice hotels, EVER!,,,the discount company was disgusted and has it all on a recorded conversation where there was no valid reason I could not check in, you’ve lost their business ALSO, and they will be keeping a record of that conversation as it proves you’ll received payment and denied service!...I had to go three days without 200$ waiting on a refund when I still had to book another room...I am a nurse who servers the community every day, what type of people or business kicks out a person WHOSE paid because your too incompetent with the process...SHAME on YOU!...I will be contacting 12 on your side to report this ( our local service and they will put your business on camera). To make matters worse I asked he cancel the reservation after I was denied staying, and asked for a receipt, the receipt showed he registered my name to a room, when I was not even staying there..

If this is how you treat people, then you’ll need to close your doors.

I reserved a room online at the Econo Lodge, Mesa on 8/26/2018. The total was $41.00, after tax $50.66. The clerk had a hard time charging my card, as a result I wound up being charged two charges. One for $48.79 and another for $7.20. The motel is still repeatedly charging a different card amounts from 10.00 - $4.00 over and over since. This needs to stop and I need a refund of $5.33 TODAY or I will never stay at another Choice Hotel AGAIN! The clerk says my card charges a hotel fee of $10.00 which is bogus because I frequent that Econo Lodge quite often and have NEVER had this happen before! Also my OPT+ card people verified that there is no such charge.

We stayed in Dubois Comfort suites and you would think having reservations you’d be able to use the indoor pool. Nope, they had it closed for private parties. That was the only reason we went. That was in February. In March they took out our hotel stay and today I had a charge for the stay again. Definitely don’t recommend

I reserved two rooms for three nights for family visiting from Maryland. There stay was a very bad experience, they were unable to sleep comfortably due to the bedbugs, they were bitten while trying to sleep after a long day in the airport. My brother was unable to stay his full reservation and checked out after the first night. My sisters had no ideal of the bedbugs but took pictures of them prior to checking out and was able to provide proof to the management on checkout date.

The management offered to reduce the bill by $10.00 stating he will inform the general manager after 0800 hrs on the checkout date Sunday morning at 0530 hours. The Hot water heat went out Friday, The reservation for three (3) nights, my brother left after the first night, my other sisters stayed the full three nights and endured the bedbugs inflecting pain and marks on their bodies. Account#489416319, no effort was made to accommodate their bad experience they paid what the bill totaled. I am a shame to refer other family and friends to Quality Inn John Harden Drive Jacksonville, Arkansas.

I viewed Choice Hotels to be professional and provided excellent customer service, this was nothing less than poor accommodation and a very bad experience for my family.

This is the second time we have stayed at Oneonta Clarion. We usually stay at the Hampton Inn but every thing was booked since it was family weekend. We have stayed at several other hotels since we had a daughter graduated from Suny Oneonta and now her sister is attending the same college. We arrived at the hotel and 12:30am Saturday to a clerk that had nose rings ear piercing and a piercing on her mouth. We had a spill and I asked for a paper towel and she said she did not have any and just continued on with what she was doing. We left the hotel at 9:55am Sunday, our bill was $731.45 which is insane but we did it for our daughter.

We entered room 510 to find it a little moldy smelling but since we had no option we stayed. The room had a king size bed and a pull out couch. We asked to use the couch and was told that that would be an extra charge. The room had no clock and when I asked the front desk for one they responded we don't have one and there is nothing they could do but give us a wake up call. The room also has no microwave and when we went to the front desk to get the babies milk warmed up the clerk (a man) said Oneonta ordinance wouldn't allow microwaves in the rooms. My husband told him that is a lie because the Hampton Inn and even the Super 8 has microwaves in each room. The clerk responded very rudely "well we're just to cheap". My husband went to the kitchen and a very lovely lady helped us.

We use the air conditioner and it leaked all over the carpet and wet some of our stuff. On Saturday the cleaning lady came to clean the room and we said we didn't need it but can we get some extra towels. She never came back with the towels. I was very happy to leave and will never stay at the Clarion again even if that means we will have to sleep in our car. I will not be recommending it to anyone.

The room smelled horrible. The mirrors were filthly, cleaned them myself because I couldn't stand them. Definitely will try to avoid choice hotels again.

I checked in the room dropped my bags off and went out to dinner. Came back at 10:20pm and saw roaches on the base boards and bedding. Bed bugs on the side of mattress and headboard the top sheet had blood stain that was faded and old. I grabbed my things and left the hotel around 11pm and checked out online on booking.com no was at the front desk at that time. I felt like my skin was crawling. I've sent Roadway inn numerous messages no response. I paid 67 dollars and I want my money returned on my credit card or I will go to the Health Department.

I canceled and rescheduled a stay at the Comfort Suites in Concord NC to Charlotte NC and the customer service rep didn't cancel my stay but added the nee stay. I was charged $77 for a no show that should have never happened. I have been waited for 3 weeks on an investigation to be complete and never heard from a rep. Called Choice customer support back today and have to go through the same 7 to10 business day waiting period on an investigation.

This is incompetence on the reps part and I the one who has paid for it. Was also told someone reached out and left a message about this, not true. Who wouldn't follow up on a message about their money. I'm angry and will never stay at another Comfort Suites.

I check in August 15, 2016 at Econo Lodge in Lincoln City, Oregon. The walls in the room was dirty, T.V was very dusty, the baseboard heater was rusty and it was very dirty on top with hair stuck to the heater, bedspread had
spots all over it, cobwebs in the corner of the ceiling, and the trash can was dirty. The room wasn't fit to stay into it. I got cold in the late in the morning and turned on the heater and it didn't work.

My family and I had to leave unexpectedly to AZ for a family emergency, I booked a room with 2 beds and a request for a cot. Upon arriving at hotel, a guy who looked suspicious kept staring at us. I checked in and I asked the Front desk clerk if I could call him when we were ready for the cot, he said yes.

As we were walking to the room a guy approached my son and started interrogating him about how many people were in the room. It was quite disturbing. We then get a call from the front asking me to come down so I went. And I was immediately accused of booking a room for only 2 people. I asked him if he was the guy who approached my son and he stated he was Hotel security. I advised him that his badge did not identify him as security and why was he so rude to my son. He ignored my question and said my reservation was only for 2 people.

We argued back and forth before he finally checked my reservation. He then tells me they don't have cots. I asked him why did the other front desk person confirm he was going to bring me one when I called. He said was a new employee and doesn't know anything. He then said we had to leave and he wasn't going to refund my charges for room because we were already in there. My reservation clearly stated a request for a cot and the number of people. He then stated he was kicking us out because I was hostile and argumentative.

He stated we had 3 adults with us and I told him my son is not an adult, he is big for his age. I reminded him again, my reservation was correct and there was no reason for us to not stay there. He stated that we needed to leave and my card would be charged. After driving 5 hours and dealing with a family emergency, I never expected to be treated so rudely, instead of offering us another room, (they had rooms available) or charging us accordingly, he just simply kicked us out. I will be making my phone calls to Corporate and I will never stay at another Choice Hotel Rodeway Inn again. And you can thank Anthony Garcia at Rodeway Inn, Albuquerque, NM.

I have no complaints about the hotels we like all Choice hotels in fact when we are out on the road your hotels are the first we look for. My issue I had reserved rooms at a hotel we always stay at I was informed after I drove 300 miles (with reserved rooms) that your hotels will no longer accept debit cards for payment(Which is how I have always paid). I was told I had to have a credit card instead. I have a Visa card with a limited credit amount that was my choice because I do not need a credit card. But I was told that it was not acceptable. I was very disappointed we had to find another hotel to stay in.

Making this new rule has made it so that we can no longer go to some of the places or hotels we always go to in some locations your hotels are the only ones available or are our preferred choice to stay. I would understand if I had ever left a hotel with issues we never have. I have talked to other hotels they had never heard of a place doing this. I guess its your choice I am nobody important just before now a very happy customer I always tell people how good your hotels are. we have stayed at a lot of them in many states over the years we were planning trips for spring break and summer but we had to cancel spring break because of this new rule. the only hotel at the beach we go to was yours the desk clerk that is used to us coming for that week said he could not take my form of payment. so we could not go.

I am sure my opinion is not much. I am sure you have plenty other customers that can fill my slot as a credit card paying customer. like I said we really enjoy your hotels and would like to continue to use them but you made it so that we can't. If you ever change your policy could you let it be known until then we will be using other hotels. I have been a member of your card club since 2009 and a satisfied one for much longer. I would like to continue I travel a lot and your locations are more travel friendly.

The reason i booked our 3 night hotel stay was for a family getaway to denver from colorado springs. They were a cheap option and the only indoor heated pool/hot tub, which is the only reason we stayed there. The hotel was under constant construction, blocking all doorways, hallways, & elevator! Forcing us to take 2 flights of stairs constantly. Breakfast was too small for the amount of people staying there!

The 2 men running it were cranky and acted like we bothered them anytime we needed something. Pool broke after day 1! Carpet was being installed above our room so relaxing was impossible! No apology from the workers or advanced notice of renovations, we booked a month in advance. Rooms were filthy, no screen on our 2nd story window. We checked out 1 day early and were told no refund and treated us like everything was great and we were impossible guest. Vending machines were all broken as well. No rules enforced at all, open liquor in the hot tub by other guest. I should be refunded for the entire stay! Never stay at choice hotels!

We usually stay at one of your facilities and are satisfied with everything. Without previous reservation we were quoted $125.10 per night at comfort Inn and Suites, Amarillo, Tx 2-24-16. Were told by person at desk not to look further as all other hotels were full and there were no rewards, so " take the room as no others were available in the area so no need to look further". We then stayed. I looked later on my tablet and other rooms were available at $78.60.

I don't understand. We stayed at 2300 Soncy Rd.in Amarillo. The next night we stayed at comfort Inn and Suites in Platte City,MO. for $75.00, a very nice clean place with friendly staff. We were also told there was only $5.00 discount with AAA., usually it is 10%. Yes, we are senior citizens but we have never stayed at any of your facilities for that much money. With taxes it was $143.87. We can stay elsewhere for less. We traveled 700 miles that day and were tired but didn't book ahead as we didn't know how far we would drive that day. Thank you for your time.

Staying at Comfort Inn in Greeley Colorado, 10/30/2015. Truly Yours bedding isn't in used here. Pillows so worn out and soggy they are about half the size of a standard pillow on the queen size beds. Pillow topper "if you want to call it that" in a flat worn out piece of fabric that shifts in the bed. Bedding has a dirty stale smell and there are used tissues next to the bed. Mattress is worn out and hard. I haven't even gone to bed and am sending this because it is so bad. I only stay at Comfort Inn for the Truly Yours pillows, I will not be staying again and ready to share my Choice Hotels complaint with the world.
