      On Thursday January 16th I called and spoke with a gentleman regarding getting in a reservation. During the call I had explained to him I had my dog and I also was looking to check in early. By the time that we got off the phone the amount of the visit was going to be almost $200 with tax and fees included. I then told the gentleman multiple times not to charge my card that I was not going to be going to stay. The gentleman I spoke to kept asking me to at least place the hold fee for my dog I told him no that I wasn't going to be staying I did not have the money to be able to stay with the amount that I was being quoted. He asked me a couple more times to allow him to charge my card at least for the pet I told him multiple times do not charge my card do not charge my card do not charge my card. I then hung up and I did not go to state at the hotel. I proceeded to come back home to ******* on Saturday January 18th my card was charged $88.91. I called multiple times to speak with the manager his name is *****. I did speak to him one time he told me he was going to talk to the gentleman I spoke to and for me to call him back the next day I did. He was not there or as I was told. I consistently continue to call and was told that he was not available they were going to take a message and have him return my call I have never yet received a phone call from ***** to get my refund back of the $88.91. When I call they have caller ID and they avoid my calls. They are ignoring me so they can keep my money in hopes that I will stop calling and forget about the money that they took off of my card after I told them to do not charge my card I was not going to be staying. This phone call was all in one conversation and the gentleman kept coming back to me and wanting to at least secure a deposit for the pet fee I told him no. I did not have the additional money to be able to stay. They refuse to have my phone call returned they ignore my phone calls I would like my refund back.

      I checked in to the hotel on 4/20/25 and was told a $50 hold would be placed on my credit card as a deposit but would be refunded after checkout. The next day I saw that I had three pending charges on my credit card totaling $200. I called the hotel and was assured it would be rectified. After a few days two of the charges (totaling $100) did post to my card with no refund. Two subsequent calls to the hotel resulted in no action and simply being told that only the manager could authorize any refunds. I was given an email for a manager (with only a first name) and sent my concerns to her. I've never encountered such unprofessional behavior from a nationally recognized hotel chain before.

      Was charged for a pet fee; however, pet is a service animal. It is against the law for a hotel to charge this fee. Needs to be reimbursed asap.

      I am rejecting this response because: I contacted my credit card company (***********) this morning and the two charges of $25 and $25 were reversed and pending as being credited to my account last week and over the weekend; however, someone canceled the refund.

      So as initially stated, please issue an immediate refund today and reverse the charge made on 02/03/2025 for $25 and the charge made on 02/04/2025 for $25.

      ***** the general manager at the ****************** location is a compulsive liar who has failed to display any integrity and the manger fails to inform customers with an issue of any higher chain of command in order to take arbitrary abuse of its customers . Though I spent more than 1500 on an extended stay . I was given a room with a faulty refrigerator when I initially complained ***** Lied to my face and claimed the refrigerator in my room was a brand new refrigerator and sent maintenance to simply come in and turn up the temperature ! The refrigerator was ON and the refrigerator was only slightly cold but it was only cold in on specific location the refrigerators temperature doesnt comply with food safety . I had filled the refrigerator up to avoid eating out and meat products abd frozen vegetables and other food products didnt remain cold ,when I went to asked to be reimbursed ***** proceeded to LIE abd maintained the refrigerator was new but offered to put a different refrigerator in the room , the refrigerator he replaced was new but I took video of the entire situation . The old refrigerator date code was 2018 AND there was obvious damage to a coil which shows it was clearly burnt out . I was verbally offered compensation but ***** never actually followed up instead he blew me off repeatedly then proceeded to imply it was MY fault my food was damaged then claimed he put the damaged fridge in another room stating it worked ! Simply because the refrigerator turns on is no indication it is actually keeping food cold and other customers probably arent on extended stays putting meat products in the fridge ! I find ***** to lack integrity, hes a compulsive liar , unprofessional con artist and a manipulative deceiver . Given I spent over 1500 it didnt seem unreasonable for me to be compensated for $35 dollars worth of food but he claimed he cukdbt compensate me abd there was nothing he could do , then he said he would compensate me but ultimately he did not

      I was a guest in the hotel. I needed some plastic wrap to cover some lotion on my arm. The front desk agent told me he would not let me take the plastic wrap from the kitchen area. So I asked him if I was supposed to put my lotion on my arm here. He told me I could not take it too my room. I went to my room a retrieve my lotion and went back to where the plastic wrap was and the gentleman at the front desk called ********. Salem PD left, beacsue there was no reason for them to be there. However , in the interaction I have filed a complaint against one of the *********************** officers and that was relieved from a ******* at 1pm this afternoon

      I am rejecting this response because:   To date no one has reached out to me to resolve the issue. The day I filed my complaint the ******* organization sent me a boilerplate response saying someone would follow up but no one has despite my reaching out not only to the BBB but the hotel general manager herself as seen in my attachment from my original complaint.

      Dear Contact:

      Thank you for notifying our office of the concern filed by **** ****** at the La Quinta property in *****, *** 

      Our brands are committed to assuring that all of its properties provide great service and quality accommodations. This guests comments have made us aware of an instance when one of our properties did not meet a valued customers expectations. 

      We regret that the guest had to contact you and our office regarding their concerns with the property. Each property is independently owned and operated under a franchise. This means that the propertys management is responsible for meeting brand standards and for day-to-day operations.

      After thorough review, we feel the best resolution will be achieved by direct communication between the property management and the guest. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

      If your offices require more information on this matter, please contact me directly at ********************************.

      I am rejecting this response because:   That's great that each unit is franchised and individually owned. Your name is still on the building and you indicated that someone would reach out and no one has. Ultimately,  in my opinion,  it still falls on your organization and therefore I still have to reject your response until someone reaches out to me.
