Great Service
January 26, 2026

Carolina was terrific! She was very patient and extremely helpful in making my reservation. I am not a frequent traveler, and really had no idea about what I was trying to do. Carolina is great!

Holiday Inn misinformation
January 26, 2026

I booked a room at the hotel specifically confirmed that airport shuttle was available. When I arrived to check in I was informed that they no longer offer this service, which is the only reason I selected that hotel! I had to cancel and am expecting a refund due to misinformation about the much needed service!

Terrible experience reserving room
January 26, 2026

The AI used was a terrible experience. The process took twice as long as it has in the past with a human. I have been a Holiday Inn customer for many years and have always been impressed, but today was awful trying to reserve a room.

Staybridge suite booking
January 25, 2026

Mar Deanna was the phone representative that just helped to book the room I was looking for to take a special trip to Tallahassee with my daughter. She was extra kind, supportive in looking at detail details, & genuinely enjoyed our conversation and making the best choice for our travel travels.

Not happy.
January 25, 2026

We needed to rebook our hotel as our dates did not coincide with Marine Atlantic. We weren't aware that our initial booking:
H******* had refund protection.
We asked him ( after much discussion) for the refund protection. Following day (today) I discovered we didn't have it and
Upon calling Hotel Reservation I was told it
Was too late to reinstate this.

Greetings,

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and value your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with getting this situation resolved. Unfortunately, there is not a way to add refund protection on after the booking process is complete. If you would like to rebook and add this we're happy to assist you with cancelling and rebooking. It does look like you have free cancellation until 2026-07-29 12:30: PM. Please let us know how you wish to proceed. Feel free to escalate it to me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing back from you and assisting!

Outstanding service
January 25, 2026

Spoke with Ricardo on the phone-he was very helpful, provided all the information I needed with a reasonable price. Due to emergency on my part I didn't have time to check in very early. He accepted me right in and provided a 1st floor as I requested. Extremely helpful and polite young man. I also checked in with Samantha. She was absolutely charming and helped me immediately.

Riverwalk, Astoria

It was horrible! Not only did you mislead me that you actually worked for the hotel, you stated all the rooms have a marina view, ours did not. We also were unable to get our repeat visitors discount because of your deception.

Help from Julius
January 25, 2026

At our landing at Sea Tac on 1/15/26 we found our flight to yakima, where our car was,
was caneled. Sbockig for 2 seniors to be there with no backup up what so ever ever. We stopped Julius for a question on getting a hotel. We was so friendly and polite! He took us to the shuttle area a d helped us find a hotel in the area that fit our needs. He helped us when the world seemed upside down. He is a generous and kind man! I'd say you are lucky to have him working there!

Julia is the best!
January 25, 2026

I stayed in March at this hotel and so enjoyed the location as well as the staff. The two of my friends also made reservations to go. I called to make reservations from January 20 through the 27th. And Julie was extremely well-versed in describing amenities that I didn't know and didn't have back And Mark. She has a very pleasant voice and was very courteous over the Phone. I hanged up feeling wonderful that the reservations were done and feeling that I made a friend.

Professional, knowledgeable, friendly & patient- perfect qualities needed for anyone assisting guest's & potential guests. Liz responded to each of my questions with the eagerness to help. Liz gave consideration to my special requests. She searched various options for rooms that would fit our needs. How she carried out her job is a role model to follow. Liz is an asset to Embassy Suites.

You're doing too much slow down
January 24, 2026

This experience was nerve racking- the customer service agent wouldn't let me speak - talking over me while I was trying to give her information I thought I was dealing with a robot. My suggestion is calm down slow down and listen. Allow customers to answer your requests for information. Got my email wrong even after all of that 🤦‍

Misrepresented who they were
January 24, 2026

Calvin answered the phone, "Hampton inn", so I thought I was booking with the front desk. I asked for the government rate, he quoted me $179/night. When we got to the hotel, they said it was booked by a third party and the government rate was $109. I'm furious at the deception.

However … would suggest not to represent or endorse this hotel. Hotel is extremely in run down and not clean! Very disappointed but you already have charged my card. The hotel cannot refund since payment was made to a third party. I thought I was speaking and booking with Wyndham.
