We arrived with a valid reservation from choicehotels.com for a Historic City Nights of Lights Package at the Comfort Inn & Suites I-95 - Outlet Mall (FLB21) which manager refused to honor because he said it wasn't in his computer and choiceHotels.com isn't his reservation system. It is and a call to them comfirmed that we had the reservation. After an hour of arguement he gave us the worst room in the hotel (located between the elevator and laundry room), not the King Suite we had booked. The second day, New Year's Eve, at 4pm, he told us that the rate for that room had gone from $79 to $159 and get out now or pay it. We got out and found a different Comfort Suites just a few miles away for $82. By the way, the original hotel (FLB21) had a huge sign at the I-95 exit advertising rooms for $59. Many people stopped in to take advantage of it only to be told the rate had gone up to $129. This hotel refused to honor our reservation and used bait and switch on dozens of travelers.

Guest made reservation in on-line. For some reason, the reservation didn't come to Hotel system. Even though Hotel didn't had his reservation in system, Hotel made a walk in (with same rate $79 as reservation than walk in price $129) and gave the available room(only four double beds available) . Next day Hotel offered to move the guest to Suite, guest said he was fine with the room he had. Hotel gave the FREE tickets to Lights of Nights for TWO. Hotel made every effort to make guest happy according his reservation, of course we do this for every guest, see other Reviews. On 12/31/11 (New year eve) guest want to stay another night at $79 rate but hotel offered at regular room rate. Guest didn’t pay high rate and checked out. Guest was upset only because hotel didn't extend stay for lesser rate. Remember this was a New Year eve and rates were higher.
