Complaint Review: Days Inn

I checked in to your hotel at 12:41pm. I walked up to building and noticed all the empty rooms doors were wide open. After getting the key to my room, I went to my room only to discover that carpet had a bad smell. I quickly went back to the office and requested for another room that did not have an odor. I waited about 10 minutes to get a clean room. I went to a room upstairs on the right hand side next to the stairs. That room's carpet smelled as well. I felt so frustrated because I was in town for Essence festival & felt I had nowhere to go. I lay down on the bed only to discover that the blanket reeked of bleach.

Therefore, I did not go straight to the Reunion arena for the festival because of frustration and disappointment with my room. After much contemplation, I went down the street at red roof inn and booked a room. Down the street was motel 6 displaying their price of $41.99 a night, where as I was paying $54.99 a night for a disgusting room! Then I went back to office to check out at 3:00pm. I requested for a refund and did not get it. I had to remind them that I needed my money back for july 3, night as well. I got that. I told them that if they knew all the rooms had an odor then I should have been told that upfront after my first complaint. Then I stated that I did not have time to argue, (I came in town to attend the Essence festival) I would take it up with the Better Business Bureau.

I am requesting for a full cash refund with taxes of $61.56.
