    I reserved a room at the Inn at Storrs directly on their website for my daughter’s graduation. The room was booked in May 2024 for May 9 - 11, 2025. On December 10, I received a notice that my reservation was cancelled with no explanation. I called the hotel and spoke with Jenilu Z***** who indicated she was the General Manager. She indicated that she would investigate and get back to me. I sent her the attached cancellation notice which also shows that I had a reservation. I received an email telling me that she didn’t know how I booked the May 2025 stay earlier as that should not have been available before January and to call in January to rebook. I looked on line and it appears the rates for those dates are showing as not available, but reflect a higher daily rate. It appears that they cancelled my reservation in order to get a higher rate. She was aware that the stay coincides with ******* graduation. My reservation was cancelled just to obtain a higher rate and leaves my family without a reservation for such an important event. The cost for my 2 day reservation was $264 and now the rate is $270 per day (twice as much)

    Given my experience with this hotel, I don’t want to risk staying there for my daughter’s graduation.  I rebooked the stay on January 1st which was over $600 and sent a request to adjust the rate to match the original reservation and received no response.  I called over the weekend to cancel the reservation and no one picked up.  I sent a message on their site and received no response. I called today and the agent told me the reservation was non cancelable even though the website shows a 24 hour cancellation policy.  She would not give her name and indicated that I was notified that the reservation was non cancellable in the portfolio sent to me AFTER I made the reservation.  I did not receive an email from them, yet she confirm that she had the correct email on file.   They’ve already charged one night to my **** account.

    On 2/17/2023 I had a one night stay at the I** ** ******* ********** ***
    Reviewing my credit card activity days later, I noticed a mysterious $250 charge from the *** ** ****** that was in addition to the $160 charge for the night. Calling the *** ** ****** about the mysterious charge, I was informed that a phone was broken during my stay and I was being charged $250 for the damage. Neither I, nor anyone staying in the room with me broke the phone. They assessed a $250 charge to me without any notification or opportunity to tell them it was not me or anyone in my party.
    When I informed them on the phone that I did not cause the damage they were dismissive and refused to reverse the charge. In their eyes I was 100% guilty. They gave no consideration of any other possible source of damage, like previous occupant, cleaning person, etc. Again, they refused to issue any reversal of the $250 charge.
