Their call agent made a false promise that water park tickets are covered as part of hotel reservation. Infact it was not and we had to pay from our pocket on the hotel counter.
Pls be very very careful while dealing with these cheaters/scammers.

Crap
December 1, 2024

They are really crap. They told me different amount and charged me different and way high. Apart from that, I asked them to book a room for early check in. On the day I arrived at hotel and they denied me check in as they can only make me check in at 4pm

Not accurate
November 29, 2024

This is the only number I could easily find as I was trying to book directly through the hotel. Because of this I did not get the correct rate that the hotel was offering for my rooms. The lady also did not speak very good English tough to understand if I would have known that the number was a third party service I would not have even called it.

I called them thinking I was reaching the front desk of Sunseeker Resort just before Hurricane Milton in Oct. They reserved nothing. Sunseeker had no record of my reservation. I disputed the charges but they are fighting my credit card. When I finally figured out they are a third party scammer, I called & spoke to Ingrid who told me to have my credit card co drop the dispute & she will refund my money, She never called back as she said she would. To make matters worse Sunseeker resort closed because of the hurricane & we couldn't get in. So we were doubly screwed. Still hanging in with my credit card.

WARNING! This company uses deception in their booking practices. I was scammed and prices I thought I was being charged turned out to be almost double. This company will make you wait for hours in order to wear you down because you are stuck and you will incur additional costs by going to another hotel. We will be looking into their practices and will ask if other people where charge bloated and excessive fees but can't cancel so they either have to pay more or lose all of their money. BELIEVE ANY REVIEWS THAT STATE...THEY CHARGE YOU EXTRA FEES EVEN WHEN YOU BOOKED AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED BUT PARKING. OH, YOU PAY TAXES ON PARKING TOO! Complaints will be filed accordingly requesting an investigation.

STAFF WAS HORRIBLE
November 22, 2024

My rating is based solely on the size of our room and the cleanliness or else I would give 0 stars. The staff was extremely rude, everyone we encountered. I booked a room for two nights to prepare and get ready for my wedding. Staff was not friendly. We called one morning for extra towels and wash clothes and instead of sending house keeping or someone to the room, they made my friend come out and get it. We left a folding table of ours in the room and I called to ask about it and was told by the receptionist that he just got in and he'd have someone call in the morning once housekeeping cleaned the room. However we saw house keeping go in to clean the room before we left the hotel morning of check in. He took my contact information down but never called. I called back the following morning and spoke with another rude staff member that told me to go on line and file a missing item report without making any effort to just check.
Also disliked that it was 10 dollars a night for parking, this hotel is the even located in a city why is there a fee for parking? Horrible experience, I would never book here again just based off my experience with staff.

Thanks for your review, Ray. We are required to follow the terms, conditions, and cancellation policies that the hotels establish in the booking system. It appears your reservation was nonrefundable. We would be happy to look into this further, but a refund is not guaranteed on a nonrefundable reservation since we must get approval from the hotel and our supplier. If you decide to book with us in the future, we offer travel insurance for any unforeseen occurrences that prevent you from staying at the hotel. If you’d like more help with your reservation, you may contact our escalations team at [email protected].

Supervisor Stancy Ann was unnecessarily rude. As a supervisor, it's crucial to maintain a positive attitude and avoid using aggressive language toward guests at the Hampton Inn. I approached the situation calmly because I wanted to understand why my card had been charged and why I hadn't received my payment yet. In contrast, Tania at the front desk had a much better attitude and was very helpful in resolving my issue.

However, I still didn't receive my payment refund. They told me I needed to follow up with my bank after being charged, despite not receiving a room. I even showed them my bank account to prove that my card had been charged, but they still refused to provide me with a room.

Sad
November 14, 2024

So disappointed room came with fold out couch as the 3rd bed as I got the Deluxe Queen Suit that slept 5,only to find out it was just a bare mattress when I ask for sheets they told me that it did NOT come with linen. My grandchild spilled chocolate milk in my bed and they would not give me clean sheets to change it finally they did let me get a set of linen after I stripped the bed and took the covers to the front desk, but charged me 1.75 on my card for them. But still would not give me or let me purchase sheets for the sofa bed and informed me that the rooms are cleaned every 14 days. This no lie people.

Reservation Issues
November 7, 2024

Called the *******233 number on the website to make reservation for two nights. I asked for a ground floor, and the gentlemen taking the reservation assured me they would give me one upon my arrival. When checking in, I asked to be sure this was a ground floor and the young lady had the blankest look on her face. She finally got me into a ground floor, but it cost an additional $10.00 a night. Not happy; the rate is already high enough. Needed ground floor due to recent back surgery and was traveling alone. Very unhappy about that issue. Also, the gentleman making the reservation asked for my phone number and email address to send confirmations. The text confirmation came through fine, but I didn't get the email confirmation. Upon a review of the text, I saw that he had my address as xxxxxxxx@$#*!.net instead of cox.net. What? He probably thought I was a pervert of some sort. Room was fine although it needs a good carpet shampoo. Breakfast was good. Won't stay there again.

I called to cancel my reservation on oct 25 and they told me I had to have the reservation number for them to cancel it. So I'm just a number now? They wouldn't take my name! So I told them I had an emergency and that's the reason for me doing so. They couldn't care less. First it was a woman, then I was put on hold and then I spoke to a man. They were both uncaring. Good thing I didn't stay there. Thankfully I got the confirmation number from my HH app.

We checked in tonight and the lobby stairs and hallway were dirty when we got to our room the room was dirty. The whole place smelled like weed and there were a lot of people outside just hanging around in the parking lot which made it feel very unsafe. After we saw the room we went right back to the front desk the girl behind the desk was very helpful and understanding and processed our refund very quickly.
