I'm
not
one
to
write
bad
reviews
but
I
feel
absolutely
compelled
to
for
this
situation.
We
booked
a
trip
to
come
down
to
this
hotel
through
Priceline,
and
unfortunately
it
was
non-refundable
(oops).
This
was
my
first
time
booking
a
trip,
usually
my
wife
handles
that
but
I
wanted
to
surprise
the
family.
As
it
would
turn
out,
there's
a
major,
record
setting
heat
advisory
for
the
days
that
we
booked.
We
have
two
kids,
one
with
autism,
and
they
absolutely
cannot
handle
going
out
in
100
degree
weather.
Our
son
is
prone
to
meltdowns
in
the
heat,
it
just
wouldn't
end
well.
So,
we
kindly
requested
a
refund
through
Priceline
because
of
the
circumstances.
Priceline
said
that
it
ultimately
came
down
to
the
discretion
of
the
motel,
but
they
agreed
that
the
circumstances
were
unusual
and
thought
that
asking
for
a
refund
was
reasonable.
Now,
in
an
automatic
reading
email
they
said
no,
and
if
that
was
where
it
ended
I
wouldn't
even
write
this
review.
In
a
quick
email
they
shot
me
down,
so
I
decided
to
call
them
up
and
see
if
I
could
reason
with
the
manager.
She
was
unavailable
that
day,
so
I
wrote
her
an
email.
The
next
day
passed
with
no
response,
so
I
called
them
back
again
requesting
the
manager.
She
was
busy,
so
I
left
a
voicemail
explaining
the
situation
and
requesting
a
call
back.
The
next
day
passed
with
no
response,
so
I
called
them
back,
once
more
requesting
the
manager.
This
was
basically
my
last
try
here,
if
no
response
I'll
just
chalk
it
up
to
either
a
rude
or
inordinately
busy
manager.
Unfortunately,
I
got
a
hold
of
her
and
she
was
MAD.
Mid
sentence
she
interrupted
me,
asking
me
to
stop
harassing
her
and
her
staff
and
stop
calling,
telling
me
that
she'd
sufficiently
told
me
that
I
wouldn't
get
receiving
a
refund
and
her
manager
(Mary?)
had
already
told
me.
Apparently
Mary
wrote
the
initial
response,
which
I
presume
was
copied/pasted
from
their
policy.
I
apologized
that
I'd
come
off
as
harassing,
and
explained
that
the
Priceline
agent
told
me
to
ask
the
manager,
who
I
couldn't
reach
until
the
3rd
phone
call,
and
again
she
interrupted
me
saying
that
there
was
nothing
that
she
could
do
and
repeating
that
I'd
already
been
told
that.
As
a
life
long
introvert,
I've
had
nightmares
just
like
this
phone
call,
so
all
I
could
think
to
do
was
to
accept
the
outcome
and
apologize,
but
of
course
mid-way
through
my
apology
(for
her
inconvenience
I
guess,
I
don't
know?)
she
hung
up
on
me.
Cool,
thanks
Jen,
you
seem
like
a
nice
gal.
So,
that's
that.
I
can't
speak
to
the
quality
of
the
motel,
I'm
sure
it's
ok,
but
unfortunately
outcome
notwithstanding
I'd
be
terrified
to
step
foot
in
there.
If
they
didn't
refund
us,
we
might
still
bop
down
there
and
just
try
and
stay
inside
to
avoid
the
heat
to
still
get
our
family
vacation
in,
but
after
that
phone
call
I'd
rather
stay
a
weekend
in
a
local
jail
than
this
place.
YMMV.
