  I made a reservation with IN TOWN SUITES, located at ******************************************************, to begin on December 15, 2021. I arrived on the check-in date, December 15, 2021, and was given a room for $357.I discovered almost immediately the door to the room did not close all the way from the INSIDE OF THE ROOM, nor did it LOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE. In other words, I was given a room where the DOOR LOCK WAS BROKEN. Upon complaining to the 'manager', he insisted that the lock did indeed work and refused to either give me another room or have someone immediately come and fix the lock.I remained in the room for a few nights, barricading the door as best I could, and taking my valuables with me on the few occasions when I left the room. (This was to prevent theft since the door DID NOT LOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE). I called the 'manager' at least twice, to no avail, and my sister also called (since she was paying for the reservation) and the manager also insisted to her that the door did work and that there would be no relocating or maintenance on the door and there would be no refund. I attempted to contact the corporate office via email but THEIR EMAIL SYSTEM DID NOT WORK. After a few nights, the ***** weather became cold and I was forced to leave the room but I left some possessions since my check-out date was Wed., 12-22-21, so I left my CAR AT THE HOTEL RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OFFICE. On Tuesday, 12-21-22, the maid apparently came in to clean the room and removed my belongings. When I came back on Wednesday, 12-22-21 to check out, I was told by a very young ********American woman that the maid had advised her that the door indeed DID NOT WORK. I presume they assumed I had left for this reason and removed my belongings. During the check-out, the employee said the charge for the room would be ZEROED OUT, i.e., NO CHARGE. They also searched and brought me a bag with half the belongings I left there. Subsequently, I found they DID CHARGE ME WITH A $50 CREDIT.

  I received a $50 CREDIT after being assured the whole thing would be "ZEROED OUT".

  We drove from **** to go to a funeral. We made a week long reservation online at the ********** ********** location for a suite for 4 people but when we got there they had no room available for us. We were put in a filthy 2 person room. In that room were dirty bras and underwear. We could not get help since they had no staff the rest of the weekend. We had no towels, our room keys didn't work. Finally emergency staff gave us new room cards and ther stopped working again. They then said maybe it was the battery in the door lock but that couldn't be fixed until Monday. Sick in a room for 2 days when we should have been with family. Monday when they "opened" back up we were moved to the room we originally booked. It too was filthy. We bought cleaning supplies to try to make the best of it.This room had dirty rags in it. Was not clean. No k**** on the furnace-air. COCKROACHES.My husband, adult children, and year old granddaughter did not need subjected to this. On top of all this the police was there every day at least once. There are drugs and prostitutes, they actually solicited my son.This was the final straw and we left early. We talked to the manager, ******* and she called her general manager who agreed we needed a refund; however, she said her system didn't allow it.When I called the phone number they listed for corporate I was told I had to file a complaint online and I would be contacted within 72 hours, 72 hours later still no contact. I am requesting a full refund of $452.22. Our Client ID is ***** and our first room was 342 and then we were moved to 240.

  I stayed at Intown Suites in *****************, ******** from 12/24/21 to 12/31. During my stay in the hotel I came to find that my room was very unsanitary. There were roaches in the room and the furniture was very rickety. Upon my second night staying in the hotel, I encountered bed bugs in the room. After complaining to maintenance, I went to the property manager to get a refund and she would not comply. I had pictures and videos of whelps on my body from the bed bug bites. It presented a health concern to me but I had to stay in the room. Upon further stay, I found more bed bugs and even brought some to her in a bottle, but she still refused to do anything. The property managers name is ****. Her, the maintenance man, and head cleaning lady know that this property is infested and they refuse to do anything about it.

  I stay at *****************************************************************************************. I have been on the Folio since 5-11-20.My phone number is 770.885.0404.8:21 PM on 12-4-21. I called the emergency maintenance number at ************** The told me that they were on the way to my room.Around 8:25 pm an black man with dreadlocks wearing an orange shirt shows up to my room (I see him in the office behind the desk). He is not the main maintenance. I show him the cloudy water in the kitchen, sink, the cloudy water in the bathroom sink, and the cloudy water in the shower. The hotel employee stated that he handles minor maintenance issues. The contaminated water and pipes are handled by ******. He said that he would contact ******. To see if can come out to handle it. 8:28 PM The dreadlock employee calls back, and tells me that ****** refuses to come out and handle the contaminated water tonight. ****** will not handle the contaminated water, because he is done for the night. He stated that he will try to stopping by on Sunday, 12-5-21. If he doesn't stop by on Sunday then he will be back on Monday 12-6-21 first thing in the morning. I told the employee that unacceptable, and I just renewed for another week a few hours earlier. Part of the conditions of them rent the room out is to have clean drinkable water. I stated that if ****** is not here on Sunday then I have to contact the Health Department.Having contaminated water to ****, wash hands, and bath with is unacceptable living conditions. I did not receive apologies for my situation. I did not receive offers to have access to clean water via another room on the property. There was no offers to have management contacted about the matter.To force some to deal contaminated water is inhumane.According to the dreadlock employee, on Monday 12-6-21, ****** had stated that he would be in too check the contaminated water during the morning. I waited all morning and nobody showed up. Around 1:20 pm I called the ***********************-Fle

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond to this guest concern. The guest water was checked and was found to be clear not cloudy in the bathroom. The kitchen water was cloudy due to a break in the water line on *************. We had the guest run the water until it was clear and replaced the kitchen faucet as well as the shower head in the bathroom. The health department found our water to be safe when they came out so no further action was needed.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Sincerely,
  
  *******************************

   

  The kitchen faucet was never replaced, while I was in the room.

  Their customer service department failed to respond to any inquiries on there website. I have evidence of the cloudy water in bathroom and shower. No scientific samples were taken from my room. The water was found to be of no use on Sat. I used the same room key for exit and entry until approximately 10:00 am. While in the middle of moving my items, my room key deactivated. In front of the downstairs office, ************************************ gave me another room key. 

   

  I was without drinkable water for a week. And also had to the hospital due an infection in my leg cause by there shower.

  I should have been transferred to another room immediately. 

  Please keep in mind this is Hotel not a house or apartment. I quick room change should have been an issue.

  As a result of the investigator examining the water. The  same  Wednesday, I was given a notice of non-renewal from ************************************. Her motivations we're clearly of retaliation.

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond to this guest's concern. Per further communication with management, ************************* checked her son into the hotel as he did not have an id on him.  At check-in, Management did tell her she would be the primary on the account. . She said that was ok, that her son wouldn't do anything wrong.  Three or four days after he checked in, management smelled smoke in the hallway smelled smoke in the hallway, management followed the smell to the room .  Management knocked on the door and there was no answer and knocked again with no answer.  Management opened the door and the French lock was on.  The guest said I'm in the bathroom, you could see the room was hazy and smelled strongly of smoke.  Management then asked the guest to come to the office asap.  He came to the office and the manager told him he was smoking in one of our newly renovated rooms and that he needed to leave. He was also informed of a ****** smoking fee and there would be no refund per the signed rental agreement.  He left the office and left the hotel within 30 minutes.  He left two burn marks on the bathroom sink.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  this is completely false information and again the manager racially profiled my son from the point of check in and she continued to treat him as if he was a second class citizen. I would like to understand how many rooms she checked for the smoke smell was it just his because she profiled him from the beginning. The conversation she said she had with me did not occur she was rude and disrespectful from the onset to me and my son and accused him of potentially stealing and doing drugs etc before he even checked in she told me directly if I didnt like it I could cancel my reservation she also stated that only 45 rooms were occupied because she is so tough again before we checked in. I also called back and asked why there was not a chair in the room as promised she said the rooms to small read the disclosures on the website even though I paid for a premium room. The newly remodeled room as they say had blood in the shower and this was never addressed so I would like proof again that other than his skin color my son caused any damage. 
  
  Sincerely,

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond to this guest's concern. Per stated in our earlier response, management did smell smoke in the hallway and tracked that smell to the room .  The room was hazy and smelled strongly of smoke.  Management then asked the guest to come to the office.  He came to the office and the manager told him he was smoking in one of our newly renovated rooms and that he needed to leave. He was also informed of a ****** smoking fee and there would be no refund per the signed rental agreement. He left two burn marks on the bathroom sink.

  I am rejecting this response because as stated the burn marks were there which he reported so he would not be blamed as well as blood on the walls. If they can provide pictures before and after I would like to see them. As I stated this was completely racially driven.
