DO NOT STAY HERE! BUYER BEWARE!
My flight was canceled at 2 AM on Saturday. I went to the counter and explained to the gentleman that my new flight wasn’t until 7 AM on Sunday. He told me the room was $400 for the night — exhausted, I agreed. He also told me check-out was at 11 AM.
A few hours later, I was woken up by someone knocking on my door telling me I had to leave immediately. When I spoke to the manager, he told me I’d have to pay an additional $250 to stay, something that was never explained upfront. Instead of helping, he smirked as if he was doing me a favor.
I travel often, and even in NYC a hotel isn’t $650 for a single night. This was completely unreasonable and felt like a bait-and-switch.
——— UPDATE ———
(since the manager turned off his replies)
Thank you for your response. I need to clarify a few things openly.
When I checked in at 3:00 AM, I explained clearly that my original flight had been canceled and that my new flight wasn’t until 7:00 AM the following day (Sunday). Your staff member acknowledged this and quoted me $400, telling me “check-out is at 11 AM.”
Given that I had just explained I needed the room until Sunday morning, I understood this as 11 AM the next day, not just 8 hours later.
At no point did your staff explain that staying until my new flight would cost $650 total or that I would be woken up and asked to leave. Had that been made clear, I would have never agreed to the room.
Being woken up, told to leave, then told I had to pay an additional $250 was frustrating and came across as extremely poor communication.
And lastly — my last name is Limpias, not “Simpliar.”
I’m not sure whether that was an intentional childish insult or simply careless, but either way, it’s unprofessional and unnecessary in a formal response.
I’m not disputing your policies; I’m disputing how they were communicated. I hope my experience helps prevent this from happening to future guests. For those wondering you can go 10 minutes down the road to the Hilton for $130, save yourself the hassle.
