On
a
trip
to
visit
my
father
in
hospice,
I
was
delayed
to
getting
to
the
hotel
for
one
night
by
United
Airlines
due
to
a
mechanical
issue.
I
immediately
contacted
the
hotel
the
day
I
was
to
arrive
to
inform
them
that
my
son
and
I
would
still
be
arriving,
only
a
day
later
and
I
was
assured
it
would
be
no
problem.
I
had
paid
in
full
online,
in
advance.
However,
I
was
charged
again
for
my
stay
upon
arrival
due
to
a
staff
misunderstanding
the
procedure.
I
was
directed
to
contact
Owner/Manager
Harry
Patel,
but
he
was
impossible
to
reach,
even
after
multiple
phone
calls
and
asking
for
him
at
the
front
desk.
I
was
assured
by
staff
that
I
would
be
refunded,
but
that
Patel
had
to
initiate
it.
After
a
month
of
phone
calls
and
waiting,
I
returned
to
Kentucky
for
my
father's
funeral.
I
finally
went
to
the
hotel
in
person
and
waited
for
him
to
show
up.
I
met
him
and
he
promised
me
a
full
refund.
He
asked
for
two
days
to
initiate
the
refund.
I
called
back
in
two
days,
and
still
no
refund
had
been
started.
Staff
were
kind
and
tried
very
hard
to
be
helpful.
I
went
forward
with
a
formal
complaint
through
Choice
Hotels
Group.
I
have
also
started
the
process
of
contesting
the
complaint
through
my
credit
card,
and
will
be
reporting
this
issue
to
the
Better
Business
Bureau.
I
can
understand
a
mistake
made
by
staff
not
familiar
with
procedures.
However,
as
an
Owner/GM,
being
evasive,
and
promising
and
then
withholding
a
refund
the
size
of
a
mortgage
payment
is
unconscionable.
Also
unacceptable
is
his
treatment
of
his
staff,
having
their
good
word
be
questioned
by
his
behaviors.
I
highly
recommend
taking
your
business
elsewhere.
