Professional & Courteous
September 6, 2025

Eugene was super helpful with amazing customer service! (I've been in customer service for over 30 years, so I can tell when someone's genuine.) I told him about my trip and he found me the best deal for one of the busiest weekends, all in 7 minutes! I can't wait to stay with you!

Overbilled
September 5, 2025

I asked why my hotel rate was so expensive for a Super 8. I found out I was charged fees to protect me from being charged if I changed my mind or something. I declined this charge, however I still see it on my bill. I thought I was dealing with the hotel when I made the reservation. They informed me it was through a 3rd party. Kerri-Lee is the person that billed me. Was not at all clear why I was charged so much. I made 5 separate reservations for my current trip. Every one was very clear about charges and allowed me to opt out of the cancellation protection fee. Pretty disappointed in being charged these unwanted fees.

Jaquelin at Wingate Green Bay Wi

I called for a room and the hotel was full, but Jaquelin took upon herself to find a room at another establishment. And helped me get it booked. This is exceptional, especially in this day and age! Thank you Jaquelin
