I
booked
a
room
at
the
Le
Mount
Stephen
hotel
in
Montreal
for
my
mother
and
sister,
who
were
visiting
from
out
of
town
from
October
17
to
October
20,
2023.
I
paid
ahead
of
time
using
an
authorization
form
that
the
hotel
sent
me,
and
received
a
confirmation
email.
However,
when
my
family
arrived
on
October
17,
they
were
denied
check-in
and
told
that
the
policy
had
changed
and
that
they
needed
to
pay
again
with
a
credit
card
and
a
double
security
deposit.
Before
I
booked
the
room,
I
had
tried
to
pay
online
using
a
link
that
the
hotel
emailed
me,
but
it
was
from
a
company
called
Convergys
and
the
payment
kept
failing,
despite
using
two
different
credit
cards
and
contacting
my
bank
to
verify
the
details.
I
called
the
hotel
for
assistance,
and
they
told
me
that
the
Convergys
system
was
very
finicky
and
suggested
I
try
another
link
or
an
authorization
form.
I
tried
the
link
again,
but
it
failed
too.
So
I
filled
out
and
signed
the
authorization
form,
which
they
accepted
and
confirmed.
But
then
they
changed
their
mind
and
refused
to
honor
the
agreement
that
we
had
made.
They
left
my
family
waiting
in
the
lobby
for
two
hours
while
I
tried
to
sort
things
out
with
the
manager,
who
was
rude
and
unhelpful.
He
eventually
agreed
to
let
them
pay
with
a
debit
card,
but
only
after
making
several
arbitrary
changes
to
the
policy.
This
was
the
worst
hotel
experience
I
have
ever
had.
The
hotel
service
was
poor,
unprofessional,
and
discriminatory.
They
caused
me
and
my
family
a
lot
of
stress,
anxiety,
and
inconvenience.
They
also
wasted
my
time
and
money.
They
ruined
our
trip
to
Montreal.
I
do
not
recommend
this
hotel
to
anyone.
Stay
away
from
this
place!
We
were
so
disgusted
by
this
hotel
that
we
decided
to
check
out
early
and
move
to
a
true
5
star
hotel
for
the
rest
of
our
stay.
They
accepted
the
authorization
form
that
they
sent
us
and
there
were
no
surprises
at
check-in.
They
treated
us
with
respect
and
courtesy,
unlike
the
Le
Mount
Stephen
hotel.
I
have
contacted
the
Le
Mount
Stephen
hotel
management
to
demand
an
apology,
an
explanation,
and
a
full
refund,
but
I
have
not
received
any
response
yet.
