On 3/19/22, I booked a room for one night (3/21/22-3/22/22) at the Quality Inn located at 616 S 200 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84101 through Priceline. The cost for the room was $77.10, which I put on my debit card. Upon arrival, I was told that they needed to collect a deposit fee of $100 which was to be refunded in 5-7 business days. I paid the deposit fee with my debit card as well. I checked in at 4:47pm, dropped my luggage off in the room and immediately left to go for a hike and get dinner. I arrived back at the hotel around 9pm, and while preparing for bed, I found several hairs and multiple stains on the bedsheets (I would attach pictures to this review showing how disgusting they were if I could). I called the front desk, and requested new sheets. The sheets that were brought to me were the incorrect size, so I took them back to the front desk. I was given a different pair of sheets, and upon returning to my room realized that these sheets were the incorrect size as well. I walked back down to the front office again, and for a third time was given sheets that did not fit the bed in my room. At this point, I requested that someone come to my room and change the sheets for me, which they did, but again the sheets had stains in multiple spots. Exhausted and frustrated at this point, I decided that I would find a different hotel to stay in, and I requested a refund for the $77.10 I spent on the room and for the $100 deposit I had paid at check in. Before leaving the hotel, I was given two separate receipts by the person at the front desk showing that they had refunded both the $77.10 and the $100. Currently, I have not received either refund, and I realized later that the refund receipts I was provided with had incorrect information on them. The receipt for the $77.10 refund has the wrong credit card information on it (type and last 4 digits), and both refund receipts have the wrong address on them. The address under my name on both receipts is a Singapore address, and I live in Colorado. I have called the hotel several times. I have been hung up on repeatedly, put on hold for over 30mins, told that the refunds will take 10-15 business days, told that they already issued refunds, told that they did not have a manager and then put on the phone with a woman named Kia who claimed to be the manager. On 3/31/22, I called Choice Hotels International. I opened a complaint (reference #10693654). I was told that they would be calling the hotel to resolve the issue and then calling me back. They did not call me back, so on 4/23/22, I called again. I spoke to a woman named Shella this time, who, again, told me she would be calling the hotel's general manager Kia and then contacting me back the next day. She never contacted me back. On 4/29/22, I submitted a complaint to the BBB, and asked for their help in contacting the hotel to resolve the issue. Even they have been unsuccessful in getting a response from Quality Inn. Neither Quality Inn or Choice Hotels International is doing anything to correct this problem. Quality Inn and Choice Hotels are dishonorable, fraudulent, unprofessional and completely lacking in customer service! It is appalling, to say the least, that they are allowed to operate this way! I will NEVER stay at another Quality Inn or any hotel associated with Choice Hotels. I will continue to call until I am refunded my money.
