I booked a stay at Holiday Chalet through the business website on 4/7/2023. The reservation was for 2 nights 10/16/23 - 10/17/23. The hotel requires the stay be paid for at the time of booking, and I paid $344.26 on 4/7/2023. Hotel policy was listed on the confirmation email:CANCELLATIONS Cancellations made 72 hours prior to check-in will receive a full refund for their reservation if booked through our site. All bookings through Partner sites are subject to the cancellation policies through those sites. Cancellations made within 72 hours of check-in will not qualify for the refund of the deposit for the 1st night of your stay.The event that I was attending in ****** was cancelled in September 2023. I contacted the hotel by phone to cancel on 10/6/2023, well before 72 hours before check-in. The person who completed the cancellation told me that the system was not issuing the refund and that she would have to figure that out, and that I would get another email when the refund was issued. The only email I have received is the cancellation email dated 10/6. I have made multiple phone calls to the hotel and continually end up speaking with ******, the person who I initially spoke with to cancel. ****** has texted me and asked for my Venmo information and told me that she would have the refund mailed to me. I have received no refund. ***** states she is not the owner and that the owner, but I have not been able to speak with anyone but her. As of 11/29/23, I have received no refund and no contact unless I contact the hotel (******) first. I am owed $344.26.Initial Complaint

On 3/15/2023 I booked a stay here through a work related site, their website stated if cancelled within 30 days of arrival a full refund is available. I attempted to cancel my reservation over 90 days prior arrival considering the reviews I saw were mostly negative with everything from lack of parking on premises, safety concerns, mold and mold smell, AC and heat issues, even doors not locking properly. Reading these reviews had me concerned for my health and safety specifically the mold, AC, lack of onsite parking and issues with locking doors (as I will be traveling alone certain nights and is an area with a high crime rate). I called less than 48 hours after booking to get a refund and was told because I booked through Expedia I was not eligible for a refund. I mentioned I did not book through Expedia, and it was only after I contacted my credit card company that they released the proper information with the correct booking site. I did not book through Expedia, when I reached out to the actual site used, they also stated that the merchant was refusing refunds. The date purchased was 3/15/2023 and the amount was $577.08.
