Rip-off at Best Western Garden Inn

The motel room was fine. The front staff were nice. That said, I needed to check out early after 4 (really 3) nights instead of 8. Long calls with Hotels.com - lots of hold time. Motel management would only reimburse me at the lowest rate possible for the nights I did not stay, and charged me the highest rate possible for the nights I did stay. My reimbursement was very low and ended up paying way over $215.00 per night for 4 nights of what was originally a $121.00 per night stay. Also, they charged me for 4 nights because, by the time this was resolved, it was past check-out time after the 3rd night. Given that, the 3 nights in the motel cost me an average of $287.00 per night. Their reimbursement rate per night for the 4 (really 3) nights was $67.00 bucks per night. Because I really only stayed three nights it amounted to $53.00 per night. Given these financial decisions, I will never stay at this motel again and I will make sure visiting family and friends never stay there. Given the opportunity, they will gauge the customer.

I booked a room with two beds for a double date trip. Me and the other girl walked in before the guys and scoped the area. Although everything looked fine, it wasn’t. The other girl suggested we turn the ac on. As soon as we did we were overwhelmed with the smell of feces. You heard me right FECES. It was a long trip and we were all tired. We needed last minute things from the store and we were going to head to bed. We hit up target and grabbed FOUR air fresheners for the vent and a candle. It. Did. NOTHING. Our room just reeked of feces. I ended up spraying perfume in the vent and it still barely ended up covering the smell and it only lasted a few hours. The room was nice just the big issue of the smell absolutely ruined it.
The four air fresheners that did absolutely nothing. The smell was that overwhelming.
