I prepaid to stay at this Extended Stay through a travel site called Rovia (great prices but NOT recommended due to lack of customer service). Rovia books through hotels.com who books with the hotel, hence part of the problem. What they didn't mention anywhere in our reservation confirmation is that the lobby is closed from 11pm to 7am. My flight didn't even land until after 11pm. So after finally getting there, it's really hard to find and not well marked at ALL, it's 2am and the door is locked. There is not sign saying "For after hours check-in ..." Yes, there was a phone box, but no instructions so since even the shadiest hotel I've stayed at had at least the lobby opened and a sign on the front desk about who to ring to check in, I had no idea how to check in. I tried to call Rovia (was on hold for 15 minutes before I hung up), then tried to call Hotels.com who also had no one I could talk to at that time of night. There was no phone number for the hotel on the reservation either so I couldn't call them. There was also another pair of gentlemen who were wondering about wondering how to check in as well. Needless to say, we left and found another hotel. When I called to get a refund, they gave me the run around. They lied to Hotels.com and said there was a sign out front so Hotels.com refused to give me a refund. When I tried to get a refund directly from the hotel, the manager Jeremy said their is a sign that is put out each night when the last desk person goes off duty and didn't believe me when I told him there was no sign. It isn't rocket science to figure out you should put a permanent sign out front instead of some temporary one each night. This is when he basically tried to tell me I should have known because standard procedure for after hours check in is to pick up the phone and dial 0. Being I've never stayed at a hotel that is too cheap to keep someone at the front desk 24 hours, or at least someone who sleeps in a back room connected to the front desk area and can hear the bell be rung when a customer comes in, how was I supposed to know this. I never got my refund and will NEVER STAY at an Extended Stay America or book through Hotels.com or Rovia ever again!! BEWARE TO ALL!!
