  • - Booking misrepresented the property; room and areas unsanitary.
  • - Elevators and laundry were non-functional; management was unprofessional; refund sought.
Updated by user Dec 26, 2025

The property advertises elevators and on-site laundry facilities; however, during my stay the elevators were extremely slow and unreliable, causing long delays.The laundry facilities were non-functional/broken, despite being listed as an available amenity.These issues were not disclosed prior to booking and significantly impacted the usability of the stay.The condition of the room and common areas did not align with the quality presented in Priceline’s listing.Management was notified of these issues but did not provide a solution, repair timeline, or accommodation.No partial or full refund was offered despite the reduced functionality of advertised amenities.Video evidence has been uploaded showing the actual condition and functionality issues at the property.

Updated by user Dec 26, 2025

The property conditions did not match the photos or descriptions shown on Priceline at the time of booking.Multiple essential amenities were unavailable, including elevators and laundry facilities, despite being advertised.The unsanitary condition of the room required immediate cleaning beyond normal wear and tear, which was not provided.The issues were reported to hotel management during the stay, but no corrective action or alternative accommodation was offered.The hotel failed to offer a partial or full refund despite the documented issues.Priceline was used as the booking platform, but the hotel refused to take responsibility, redirecting responsibility back to Priceline.The stay did not meet basic hospitality standards, making the room unsuitable for the length of stay booked.Video evidence has been uploaded showing the actual condition of the property at the time of stay.

Original review updated Dec 26, 2025
I booked a room at Extended Stay America Fort Myers Northeast through Priceline, expecting accommodations consistent with the listing and advertised standards.
Upon arrival, the property was significantly misrepresented. The room and common areas were unsanitary, including visibly dirty conditions.

Multiple elevators were non-functional, and the on-site laundry facilities were broken, making basic amenities unavailable during my stay.

These issues were not disclosed at the time of booking.
Additionally, when I raised these concerns, the hotel manager responded in an unprofessional and dismissive manner, showing no effort to resolve the problems or accommodate the situation.
Due to the poor conditions, lack of advertised amenities, and unprofessional management, the stay did not meet reasonable expectations or the terms presented by Priceline. This constitutes a failure to deliver the service that was paid for.
I am requesting a full refund of $750 based on false advertising, unsanitary conditions, and failure to provide basic services as advertised.
Loss:
$750
Pros:
  • Affordable hotels
Cons:
  • Hotels not at advertised

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Avoid staying at extended stay northeast in ft myers.

Bedbugs at my hotel room and my room being unclean an nasty and unexceptionable

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Booking.com via Priceline booked Motel 6 Mansfield; room filthy with bed bugs; calls hung up; refunds and a better hotel not delivered.

I have been trying to contact booking.com and priceline.com with my issues for the reservation that booking.com made through priceline.com for the Motel 6 in Mansfield, Ohio, for a one-night stay! I have been hung up on every time I called either one of these companies with my complaint and issue!

I paid for my room when I got to the hotel at five PM. When I got my key and went to my room, the room was beyond filthy and dirty! Floors looked as if they weren't done; the walls looked like they had never been wiped down or cleaned ever. The bedding was stained with burn holes in them, sheets dirty, and the towels damp like they had already been used and stained as well, along with finding bed bugs on the pillows and in the beds!

Again, unacceptable! Again, I tried calling both booking companies and got a complete runaround for five and a half hours, and the hotel has done absolutely nothing at all, and neither had booking.com or priceline.com after being told before I was hung up on the first time out of eight times that I would be refunded and also booked at a better hotel and would be taken care of within the hour.

That again was five hours, almost six hours ago! downright uncalled for and very unprofessional and rude!

Loss:
$68
Cons:
  • Bad business practices and poor customer service

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: I wouldn’t go thru these two companies at all very rude unprofessional and bad results!!!

Updated by user Mar 24, 2026

I have been getting the complete run around for days haven't spoken to one person to help me with my situation seems like the only thing that matters is that the company got their money because my questions or concerns have not been addressed and it's been over 96 hours...

Original review Mar 24, 2026
I booked my reservation for March 20. Upon getting my rental, the check engine light was on.

I immediately went back inside and informed the staff of the situation. They told me that they were aware of the situation and that the vehicle had been checked out and was in good working condition. However, a couple of hours after leaving, acceleration messages kept popping up and the vehicle was driving funny. I immediately started calling and emailing the rental company.

At that time, they were unable to switch me to another car because there were no more 7-passenger cars left. I was instructed to come back to the office. When I got there Saturday, the workers were new and had no idea of how to help me. The branch manager's name is Tonya, and she has made no effort to contact me in any way, even after I've left several messages, emailed, created a ticket, and been to the office.

This wasn't fair to me or my family to purchase a rental and not be able to use it. At this time, I'm requesting a refund.
Loss:
$269
Pros:
  • It was easy to get rental set up
Cons:
  • Because priceline is third party you really have no clue what type of rental company you are truly dealing with and easirent makes priceline look bad

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Never rent a vehicle to anyone with any lights showing on the dash board especially a check engine light

Biohazards in our room

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Phone was never answered.
  • - Blood spatter in bathroom; tub/shower filthy; bed has blood stains.
  • - Photos don’t reflect smell or non-smoking claim.

Never answered the phone - blood spatter in the bathroom - filthy bathtub and shower walls. Scared to walk around or shower without shoes.

Pictures can't demonstrate the smell in what is supposed to be a non-smoking room. Choice Hotels gave us enough points to book a night somewhere else but can't provide enough points to cover the other 6 nights we paid for because we booked through Priceline, and Priceline doesn't even answer the phone. Pictures on the website aren't accurate - bait and switch. We aren't asking for money back, just wanted Priceline to move us to another hotel that won't require shower shoes and a tetanus shot.

See photos. Truly disgusted.

Almost forgot about the blood-stained sheets and cigarette burns on the bedspread. Priceline should've at least answered the phone.

Loss:
$400
Cons:
  • Never could speak to anyone
  • Advertising hoax
  • Priceline recommending a place that was dirty

Preferred solution: Please just move us to another hotel or give us points to book the next 6 days ourselves. Maybe have someone vet these hotels before you start booking

Original review Dec 23, 2025
I reserved a room for my granddaughter. They didn't need it, so I canceled it right away before the time that said I had to by 4 PM the next day before check-in.

They never checked in. When I was told it was canceled, I got no numbers but this: not sure what it is, Microhotel, Palm Coast, FL. They sent me this email with a partial number, which is 85412EE051051. It's been past 30 days; I did a dispute with PayPal, that's the card they charged on.

I never gave them that info, just my email. If this doesn't get refunded $210 for 3 nights, I will get a lawyer myself through Elder Source.

I called the Microhotel, and the desk clerk remembers me calling. Can you help?

Did the Priceline booking you made offer cancellation? A lot of times their prices are way cheaper but nonrefundable.

If it did not specify no refunds, was Priceline’s cancellation policy 24 hour notice? Most of the time they are more stringent (1-2 weeks). The hotel offers 24 hours, but that doesn’t apply in your case. Your customer service and policy adherence is with Priceline.

If you contacted the hotel to cancel, they just note that on your booking (so you are not listed as a no-show). That doesn’t authorize or generate a Priceline refund.

Did you initially call Priceline to cancel?

The hotel did not “give” you a refund. They noted your reservation as “canceled” and the time and date you did so. The hotel has no authority to tell Priceline to refund your money.
