I personally booked 9 rooms for our race team to stay over the weekend. (Jan 25-29,2024) The booking process was made complicated from the beginning, and I should have taken that as a sign. We had some members of our team check in Thursday and some check in on Friday. Thursday some of our team were told they couldn't find them in the system, so a new booking was created as a walk in, still under my name though. Friday I checked in. The women at the front desk was helpful, although seemed a little frazzled and unsure. She accidently charged my credit card for 2 rooms. No, problem, just need it refunded, mistakes happen! She needed to call her manager (Nick Patel) to do so. He argued and argued that he couldn't refund the card, that I would have to "take it up with corporate" "he got he money, so don't worry about it", and "we shouldn't have booked so many rooms, because its too complicated". He was condescending, arrogant and patronizing, to the point he had his staff in TEARS. After 1.5 hours of arguing over the phone, he came to the hotel. I explained yet again the issue and he said "fine I'll refund it" At this point, he said only 8 out of my 10? rooms had checked in, so I told him we only need 9 rooms, just as my original reservation had stated. (we believe now that this is because they added people as walk ins under my name when they couldn't find the original bookings) Fast forward to the next morning, I returned to the hotel to retrieve some belongings and found I had been locked out. The front desk staff explained Nick said one of our guests didn't show up, so he was charging me a no show fee and I was to sign this authorizations form and only then Id get my key activated again. (although he had already charged my card) Nick, was called (because again he wasn't on site) and he told me, "its your own fault you booked too many rooms, I'm not refunding anything, take it up with corporate" I told him it was illegal to do what he had done and would be calling the police if he didn't allow me access to the room. He said "call the police" and hung up. The front desk gave me access to my room, but I was still unable to get a refund. This AM, I called corporate, and they informed me that they have no connection to the individually owned hotels or their books so they can't help me. I need to find a resolution with the Manager/owner (who is Nick Patel) I am absolutely astonished this hotel is still in business. The way he treats his staff and guests is disgusting. I have been charged hundreds of dollars fraudulently and he is allowed to continue his business with no consequences. I suggest everyone stay clear of this hotel. Our team alone brought him over $5000 in revenue this weekend, and this is how he treats his guests. On top of the horrible customer service, we had no hot water in the mornings to shower. The breakfast was emptied by 0830 and never restocked, and in our whole stay, house keeping never once came into our room to make beds,
