File complaint against priceline and extended stay

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
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.

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

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!

Biohazards in our room

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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.

Refund

I booked a rental, and there were no rentals available; they said unavailable on cars. They rebooked me a vehicle three more times through Budget over the phone, and the same I was refused a rental and told none were available at all.

No cars available, so I need a refund.

I never canceled or modified; I never received or rented a car on your behalf and theirs. Thank you, ASAP, please.

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?

Guest

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.

Guest

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.

Nothing at all, I was just giving the runaround. I've been calling for days trying to change or fix my flight.

I have a medical procedure coming up for my three-year-old son next week in Madison, Wisconsin.

All I'm asking for is a different flight for the money Priceline has of mine already. I also need to change the dates of the flight.

Dispute on charges from hotel

Priceline - Dispute on charges from hotel
Priceline - Dispute on charges from hotel - Image 2

The hotel overcharged me for my stay - I should have been charged the original stay, which was January 12-19, plus one extra day for Monday night, January 19. I checked out on Tuesday the 20th.

They are saying I broke a mirror, which I did not do. I complained it was loose the first several days, and they did nothing about it. It ended up falling off the wall before I left - it was not broken at all, but the wires behind it disconnected from the wall. Not my fault, as I told them many times.

I should only be charged the original $550.47 plus one extra day. The rest needs to be taken off the bill.

Please help me resolve this issue. Thank you, Kevin Lunt.

Why are you sending this to Priceline? They fulfilled their end by reserving your room. Your issue is with the hotel.
