Unacceptable

Reviewed By anna_cornell

Booked for two nights but left after 15 minutes. Filthy hallway rug, not even vacuumed. Odd smells. Bathroom floor was not clean. This is not a three star hotel and shouldn’t even be advertised as a Comfort Inn. I’ve been in run-down and dated hotels that were clean and comfortable. This was neither.

Two Night Stay-Some Good Points!

Reviewed By Famontherun

We stayed here for 2 nights as this was the hotel associated with an event we were attending in the area. The property was attractive and clean. Our room was clean with comfortable beds and pillows. The fridge was not turned on when we arrived, so the inside was sopping wet. We mopped it out with a towel then plugged it in,...it continued to drip inside. We were promised a new one, but did not get it. My biggest complaint was the wifi.....it was horrible! The wifi was not as bad during the day, but in the evening, I could not stay connected for more than a few minutes at a time. The desk staff (Eric and Amy) were very nice, and tried to help, but the wifi signal for the hotel is just junk! There was a hot breakfast, of which the little warm cinnamon buns were the best. One morning we had to wait for regular coffee to be made and the trash always seemed to be full and overflowing. We had trouble getting towels to replace the ones we used to sop up the fridge. Overall, this place was pretty good. With a few small changes, it could be a lot better.

Worst customer service experience of my life

Reviewed By jd52080

I have been a Choice Rewards elite member for years, as I use the hotels for business and personal travel, so I book almost all of my rooms through them and their corporate site. On May 10, 2022, I booked a king suite with jacuzzi at the Meriden, CT Quality Inn for the night of Saturday, May 21, 2022 for $158.28 after taxes and fees. I received the confirmation email instantly. I arrived at the hotel around 8:30pm on Saturday, May 21. The person at the front desk (manager?) asked if I had the right hotel because I was not in the system. I pulled out my phone and opened the confirmation email. I told him that I had booked a king suite with jacuzzi online. Immediately, he became very rude and confrontational with me. He said that they do not book jacuzzi rooms online, so he didn’t know how I did that. I showed him the confirmation email, and he said that he would not accept it. He said that he had a room to book, but they do not book them online, and would only give it to me for $200 plus taxes and fees. I told him that it wasn’t like I had hacked the website: I had a confirmation email and numbers from Choice Hotels corporate website where the room had been booked. He said “I guess you can call them, but I will not honor that rate.” I responded “with all due respect, this sounds like your problem and you need to call them because I have a confirmation email right here, so you need to figure out what went wrong in your system.” He stepped away from the desk and went into the back to call someone, during which my spouse heard him yelling repeatedly “I am not going to honor that rate.” When he eventually returned to the desk, he told me that they had a call cancelling my reservation, logged in their system under my first name. I stepped away to call Choice Hotels myself, and he kept arguing and trying to interrupt me as I spoke to them. At this point, it was clear to me that I was unwilling to stay at this hotel whether Choice Hotels could resolve this or not. I went to the parking lot to continue the call without confrontation. My call disconnected after 30 minutes, and I called back to be told that I was #22 in line. At this point, it was nearing 10pm, and my spouse and I decided to just drive back home to another state, 90 minutes through the night, since we were being denied our reservation. This was our first night alone together since our baby was born six months ago, and was a special trip for us to celebrate while grandma watched our baby for the night. I don’t know when we will have another opportunity like this. This opportunity was completely ruined by this hotel staff member. Calling customer service again the next day, they were able to determine that my hotel was cancelled at the hotel, by the hotel, and not through the Choice Hotels network, which is why I did not receive a cancelation email. Choice Hotels compensated me for the issue and promised to launch an investigation of the hotel and its staff for the incident. This is the worst experience I ever have had at a hotel and in customer service. Reading other reviews after the fact, I see now that others have experienced major issues with the staff and hotel as well. I hope that everyone is contacting corporate to file complaints. This behavior, in my opinion, warrants Choice Hotels pulling the franchise from the operator and taking them out of the hotel network.

Okay and it did its job.

Reviewed By jasoncrh

I was here for a nearby high school reunion. Overall I thought this hotel was fine. Room was clean enough and bed overall comfortable. Hotel seemed overall a little worn and tired. It was a bed that was clean enough, and it was fine. Wifi actually worked well enough for my needs. A weird smell permeated the property. wouldnt be my first choice but it was cheap and the bed was fine.
