Had a bad experience with this property last week. Monday evening I had a flight cancelled but was able to rebook out of Norfolk for early the next morning. I quickly made a hotel reservation and hit the road. A bit over an hour into the trip I hit standstill traffic and since I was within 30 minutes of the property I went ahead and did the mobile checkin so I could just use the digital key when I got there. My mistake! Shortly after that, I got notice that my rebooked flight was cancelled. I quickly called the property to ask if they could grant mercy and not charge me for the room night since I was now turning around and heading home. The desk agent I spoke with was sympathetic but said since I had done the check in, there was nothing she could do. She suggested I call and speak with the manager the next morning when she arrived at 9:00 am. I asked her if she could leave a message about the situation and she said she would include it in her email to the manager that night. Tuesday morning shortly after 9:00 am I called to speak with the manager and got her voice mail. Left a detailed message. No return call. Wednesday morning I called and again had to leave a message. No return call. Friday morning I called again and got the lady I had talked to Monday night. I asked for the manager and she said "let me go talk to her." Then came back and asked what it was in reference to. I briefly went over the scenario and told her I believed we had talked Monday night. She again said she would go tell the manager. Next think I know, the phone rings and I get the voice mail of another person I haven't heard of before, not the manager. I left a third voice mail. At this point, I know I'm never getting a refund. But my problem now is the lack of professionalism. If you are the manager of a property, you have to deal with things. The fact that there was no courtesy to just give me a call back or even speak to me when she was obviously there is unacceptable.
