About a month ago, I booked the cheapest room available at the Intown Suites in *****************, *******, for a week-long stay. I received a $62.01 charge notification on May 11th, so I called to confirm my reservation and clarify the final price. They confirmed my reservation and said my room would be ready on May 13th.However, on the morning of my trip from ********* to *******, the manager, *****, called to inform me that my room was unavailable due to flooding. He referred me to *** at the ****** location. When I tried to book there, the cheaper room I was promised was no longer available.On top of this, my flight was significantly delayed, one of my credit cards was compromised, and I dealt with major credit fraud issues. Despite *****'s and ***'s efforts, the situation caused me immense frustration and forced me to cancel my birthday trip to ********I had called the ***************** location two days prior and was assured everything was in order. When he called to inform me of the cancellation, ***** mentioned the system should not have allowed me to book those dates and rooms.While I appreciate the managers' efforts, this situation was entirely avoidable, and it's unacceptable that I wasn't informed about the hotel room issue until just hours before my flight.Business Response

Complaint: 21706592
I am rejecting this response because: Again, this feels like a canned response. My issue isn't making a reservation. I don't WANT a reservation. My reservation cancellation was handled poorly. Company is clearly not reading my initial email at all. Again, I had made my intial reservation nearly a month in advance. I was told the *** OF MY FLIGHT that it was cancelled. Most importantly, I was told by the general manager that the flooding done happened BEFORE my initial reservation. Your system allowed reservations that should never have been able to be made.
There are three things that are unacceptable here. First, your system allowing the reservation which your manager had told corporate about the flooding and that his rooms were unavailable. Second, the *** OF notification. If I had more time, I could have rearranged my finances and my flight/ hotel accomodations, but I was given roughly four hours to figure new things out. Third, the complete lack of care in the responses through this channel. Every response has felt robotic/ ai generated.

What I am saying is that I have been staying in this establishment for over 3 months now I understand the renewal because I work at a hotel so I fully aware of the time frame even though when I have tried to pay online my folio does not show to renew and the general manager is never there for me to get my payment in and also u are telling me that no .after how the general manager feels that she can come into the room unannounced she walked into the room I was staying in and did not knock or announce herself and she came in the room after 7pm so my privacy was violated and you are saying that intown suites has the right to do that?

I am rejecting this response because:I never said anything about housekeeping what I said that the property manager ****** walked in the room unannounced and she did this after closing so around 720pm she walked into the room unannounced what does that have to do with housekeeping? When I never mentioned house keeping my rights and privacy was violated she had no right to come in the room without knocking on the door and without saying she is management when she came in she did not knock and she did not say who she was just yelled and cussed at me when the office was closed already so explain that to me

I was overcharged by $62.12 on 4/18/2024 for a week's stay for my brother (listed on the invoice), which was brought to my attention at the time of check-in and I was aware. The front desk manager (************************* - ************* location ************) could not explain or change the overage, but said the difference would be credited back to my CC within 3-5 business days. As of today, it's been 10 business days and no refund. I inquired with **************** today (5/2/2024), who told me I had to contact Reservations because they originated the error when booking the reservation. I called Reservations and was told the desk manager had to help me. Both told me to submit a request thru their website to ***************** which I did yesterday (5/1/2024) no response yet. **************** also suggested sending an email, but could only provide me an incomplete email address. I have a receipt that shows the actual cost of the room ($372.72) and the amount charged/paid ($434.84). I am requesting the $62.12 be refunded to my credit card ASAP so I don't have to pay the overage out of pocket. Thank you in advance for any assistance!Business Response

The hotel management and staff are very unprofessional and showed dishonesty with my reservation starting with the check in. As well other hotel guests were allowed to solicit false claims against me and my service dog. I was told by management on the fourth day of stay my animal was not a service dog, I was accused of allowing my service animal to potty anywhere which was not true, when my service animal was I'll she had an accident and I picked it up with a doggy bag. On the fourth day of stay I was cussed out by other hotel staff and was called stupid by housekeeping staff. I was accused of having altercations with hotel staff on the lower floor in which I wasn't there. I had to call local police for assistance because management was forcing me to leave for false claims. My hotel initial receipt displays dollar amounts and deposit for only one night, even though it's an extended stay of 7 nights totalling ******, in which I paid cash, I have the extra guess as my witness. I was accused of additional over night guest. Even though speaking to the manager it was made clear my twin sister was visiting for a meal and then my twin and I left. I honestly believe the hotel management pocketed the. **** and then needed to find a way to force us out before checkout in order to cover up the fact she kept the money. The policy say an early checkout will not be refunded. I spoke to police and I was told it's civil matter and that we did not have to leave. I received email to extend, but then suddenly there's no record of my hotel stay and tells me the info doesn't match there records. And our keys deactivated preventing me from leaving wlans the manager refuses to reissue me a key.Business Response

Complaint: 21640628
I am rejecting this response because: BBlackman, the property manager who checked me in did not apply the ****** to my reservation. She applied ****** equalling one nights stay plus deposit and fees, BBlackman stoled the rest of what was left. And proceeded to harass and find ways to make our stay an unwelcomed one, and even lied to local police about an altercation that was not taking place. I was and my service dog were denied our rights to stay breaking state and federal laws, deactivated my key during my stay on the fourth day, and would not reissue my key, therefore I couldn't come and go as I pleased. ********* forced me to leave, did not return my deposit. Said I accrued charges in which I requested the amount and final receipt, she refused to provide anything showing where my ****** went. This has caused me great discomfort, put me in distress and emotional trauma. I'm from out of state, and I was forced out for no reason. I was verbally assaulted by the staff in it's entirety, was called stupid. I have filled an officially police report against BBlackman and intown suites

Complaint: 21640628
I am rejecting this response because: There was no cleanup issue at check in when BBlackman, who checked me in and stoled the cash payment I gave her for seven days. However I was given a folio receipt showing only one day was paid plus deposit. The staff here committed criminal acts against me and my service dog. At this time I have filed charges for theft, and am working with detectives. I have proof the money wasn't properly applied to my reservation and I was forced to leave because ********* needed to cover up the fact she stoled my payment. I did nothing wrong to receive this treatment and my money stolen. I hold her and Intown Suites responsible for the theft assault and violating service animal rights. I am taking further legal action against ********* that will result in her arrest for theft over $250, ($560.00)and her housekeeping staff for the assault, these two individuals are committing crimes against guest. Intown Suites has allowed this is unacceptable.

I rented from Intown Suites ********************************************** from around 01/05/2024 to -3/18-2024. I had to go by ambulance for emergency surgery on a broken femur and get a hip replacement. My dogs, I called animal control to have them picked up a day after I was taken to the emergency room. I signed my dogs over the animal control. Left in the room was:My clothes - 4 drawers worth and 2 full suitcases. 4 large suitcases My coach purse - with wallet, credit cards, prescriptions Bathroom - makeup case, hair dryer defuser = curling iron, make up My laptop and second screen Important documents in notebook birth certificate, social security card etc Leather notebook folder that was 50 years old and belonged to grandfather. Jewelry - mini safe Dog collors and leashes along with dog harness Dog bowls Dishes **** the manager when I left said that he would put the stuff in storage there on the property for me. A friend of mine stopped by there to grab my phone and spoke with **** as well. I called a couple days later to see if he could bring me my laptop at the hospital for a fee because she had not done that. A "new manager" answered the phone and was the most evil person I had ever spoken with. He said I threw all of your stuff out. He then hung up on me. I send police out to the Intown suites where they found with him, my laptop, my second screen, my mini safe and my purse but with no wallet. The police brought those things to me at the hospital. He told the police that I could have paid for storage. Nobody contacted me or told me that ever. They gave away or stole everything in my room!I am in the hospital still rehab for my leg and have had to order a new ID, check cards etc. It has been the worst mess. I have never been treated this evil by anyone as that manager from a business in my life.I want a refund for every dime I spent of my money there ******** and you can ask me where to wire or PayPal it too. There were things in that roomBusiness Response

On Saturday April 13, 2024. I went to the Intown suites at 1100 Huffman Rd Birmingham AL and I was going to rent a premium suite. Manager let me look at it and said I'll take it. Weekly rate. Ok
She took my license and looked into her system and it said Intown suites has me on a Do Not Rent list. What the hell?? I stayed at another location on Oxmoor Rd in Birmingham last year and was there 16 months and moved into a house. Now later I'm wanting to come back but another location. I was one of the best residents and never caused a problem so I am confused. Manager told me to contact headquarters in Atlanta. So I did and no one ever answers. Just a recording. I emailed them but they never answered. I need help in getting removed from that list.Business Response
