When we were checking in, I handed the desk clerk our Bank visa check card and as she was running it though she stated that debit cards are charged twice to your account and a sign said an added 20% fee. The first charge would drop of your account up to 15days latter. I did not want that kind of deal so gave the desk clerk my regular visa card and she said she canceled the debit card transaction. Nothing was further told to us that the regular visa would also have a hold charge 130% of the bill and then also regular room rate using the correct amount. The next business day I checked our accounts on line to find that they held out $180.00 off our credit limit from the visa (130%of the room rate plus the rate for the room). Five days latter the 130% was still hanging on my credit limit even after the regular rate was then billed to my account. This motel did not disclose that they would use our credit card in this manner. I have traveled many places and always use my credit or debit card but never seen any thing like this . After calling the motel again today, they called my credit card Co and said they canceled the hold charge off our credit limit!!!!!!!
