      I booked a one night stay for check in on May 29 and check out May 30. I booked it through ******* itinerary ********** confirmation ******** for $136.66 . I went to hotel. I gave them my name. I gave them my card for incidentals. They said that they have my reservation. Later, I received a bill from Mobile Marriott for $119.56. I have called Mobile Marriott ************ numerous times. The response from the front desk is that I see the problem and transfer me to accounting or leave message with accounting. I have never spoke to anyone accounting.

      I stay at W hotel W Hotel Philadelphia from July 13-15.Firstly, on the morning of July 14, the waiter made a mistake with my menu and refused to acknowledge it but laughed at me for not expressing myself clearly. After expressing my anger to the manager on duty and asking for an apology from the waiter, the manager on duty refused to deal with the matter for me because it was no big deal at her hotel. Secondly, on July 15, I was halfway through my shower when I discovered that the shower gel had been used. At this particular time, this irresponsible room cleaning seriously violated my right to life and health. When I went down to the front desk to inform them about this, they just said they were aware of it and no one even offered to replace my shower gel, and to this day I still have not received an apology. Finally, after my strong request, the front office manager sent me an email and I did not feel any apology in that email. All that was expressed was that it was uncalled for me to have emotions after experiencing these things that made me very frustrated. Based on these serious mistakes of the hotel, I request the hotel to refund the room rate for one night.

      I am trying to get a receipt for my stay at Westin Resort Guam so that I can get reimbursed for my hotel stay. I have called the hotel group around 6 times and they have done nothing but hang up the phone. I have called the hotel and they say they are going to email the receipt but never do.

      We called in several times before the travel dates and 3 time day of arrival to ensure adjoining rooms because of small children and medical reasons.When we checked in no mention of rooms not being adjoining was mentioned and they took payment of the whole stay and refused our reservation because we complained and pointed out missteps and dead cockeroaches in lobby. 5 small children and my wife and I were turned away and trespassed at 2am in the morning because the night manager did not want me to share footage of her outburst to her superiors in the morning

      We stayed in Room *** at Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel located on 600 Highway 7, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, L4B 1B2 from April 15 to April 18, 2022. The cleanliness of the hotel was concerning as we found ants crawling around the bathroom floor, especially near the toilet. When we were checking in, the reception asked us what time we would like to have our room service and we specified noon. Nonetheless, a lady knocked on our door and woke us all up on Sunday, April 17 at 9 am. She wanted to do room service and asked me to exchange our used towels for some clean ones. I addressed the issues with the reception when I was checking out. I also wrote to their customer care and was told that they will follow up and get back to me. I have never heard back anything even though I sent them another email. This is very disrespectful and unprofessional. This made me feel that I got ripped off by the hotel with their lack of basic housekeeping, cleanliness, and professionalism. I demand a 50% refund as compensation.
