  On April 19th 2024, my family stayed at this Hotel, got there way past our young childrens bed times, so we checked in (my *********** went upstairs while I finished the paper work), I then joined them a few minutes later in the room, by the time I got there the kids were in pajamas & crawling into one of the beds, I said our good nights & then proceeded to settle in the room, then I began to notice things, so I began to take photos, I then filled out complaint stuff & included all the photos with ******* Corporate for Super 8, I then went to sleep, thought of changing rooms but the kids were asleep & very tired, so I choose not to pursue anything further as I thought I would be covered since I submitted information to Corporate, next morning came & I go to take a shower & the shower made a high pitch squeal the entire time I had the water running which woke the entire room up, I then try & use the *********** clogged, I then asked the front desk for help or a *********** would do it ************** say & I quote we will be with you in a few minutes we then return to the room, pack, load the car, then return inside & I then again approach the front desk again & they stated I am not sure where maintenance put the plunger, I then said ok, vacated the property & stopped at a local business to use there restroom, since the toilet was unavailable to me at the room at the motel, now if you look at the photos you will see some of the health concerns with all the questionable fluids & other questionable things around the room. Fast *********** hear back from *********** are offering a 15% discount on my next stay there, I told both the property manager & corporate that isnt acceptable & I want a full refund, I have tried talking to ******** am refusing to settle for anything other than a full refund, they have both hung up on me & wont answer call from my number anymore, I have also contacted **************** said they cant issue a refund unless the motel agrees.

  Dear Contact:

  I apologize if you have not yet received a satisfactory resolution from the property management team of the Super 8 by Wyndham property located in Helena, MT.

  As previously stated, this property is independently owned and operated. This means that the property is the only party able to authorize a refund, and unfortunately, they have advised that they will not be issuing such, unfortunately. It is physically impossible for us in ********************* to issue refunds, we simply do not have the ability to do so. 

  I have reiterated your request to the property management team; however, please know that we cannot force the property to issue a refund to you. Our office is a liaison between yourself and the property management team in hopes of opening that line of communication so the two parties can work together. Please continue trying to work with the property as we are unable to further assist you. You may call the property directly via telephone at ************** and/or via email at *******************************************************

  Kind regards.

  On 7/25/22 while traveling in Helena, MT, our trailer needed repairs. I phoned the reservation line for Super 8, made a pet friendly reservation for 2 nights. I drove directly to the hotel. The clerk ran my credit card, asked me to initial the no pets clause. I explained the call ******************* cited hotel policy against pets. I was told the credit card slip would be shredded. The next day I received a text receipt for $376.86; I phoned my *************** the funds were gone. I called ******* to request a refund. The agent reviewed my initial call for a pet friendly reservation, the called the clerk at the hotel who became belligerent with the agent, stating all records were gone. He took my information and said I could expect a resolution within 10 days. I called on 8/5/22 & was told Id hear by 8/9/22. On 8/10/22 I received another text, this time a hotel voucher for $188.43. I called again, was told I only got half my money as Id failed to cancel my reservation 24 hrs in advance. I explained everything again & was told the agent would send my information to the escalation team. I asked to speak to a supervisor & was told one would call me back. No such call came so I called again today, 8/11/22, only to be told again that I had to wait for a callback as it would be unfair to transfer my directly to a supervisor when there were customers ahead of me. *** worked diligently for a fair resolution only to find corporate greed, runaround and theft. I have no intention of staying in any ************** so their voucher is just their way of keeping all the money they stole from me. This has been going on for nearly 3 weeks, *** spent hours on the phone & cant get anywhere. Please help. Thank you.

  I have diligently attempted to resolve this with Super 8 repeatedly since 7/28/22; I was told Id receive a call from a supervisor 2x with ZERO response from the company.  This is yet another attempt to circumvent BBBs assistance.  Once again, the burden is on me, Super 8 takes no proactive response to my complaint.  I prefer your continued assistance as I have no faith that I can resolve this with Super 8 directly.  My appreciation for your continued involvement on my behalf. 
  Sincerely,

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I attempted to find the franchise ownership but ******* refused to give me the information.  However, the voucher was canceled and the money was refunded in full.  Apparently this was done without notifying us or the BBB; I checked my account and the refund was there.  
  

  I am grateful for your intervention despite the fact that ******* Hotels did nothing to resolve the complaint ~ they apparently didnt know the refund was done & tried to send us on yet ************************ to find the franchise owner.  
  

  Thank you, BBB!  You are a fantastic resource.
  
  Sincerely,
