BEWARE - BEWARE - BEWARE
This hotel, unlike any hotel I have ever stayed at, has a policy that they say their "owner" instituted that REQUIRES that your credit card be charged $50 per night for what they believe might be "incidental" charges. They will not guarantee when you will get your money and say they don't know. Could be 7 days, could be 10 days. Who knows? The clerk kept pointing to the fact that it was my fault because I booked online and that hotels.com could not be trusted and that they lie. Hotels.com assured me I had a solid reservation with a king-sized bed. When I reached the hotel, they didn't even know I was coming and found the reservation in their fax machine. They said they "would see" if there were any rooms available. so much for making a reservation, huh?
We all are certainly aware of hotels having your card info and, upon checkout, reconciling your bill and if there are extra charges, they are put on your bill. But to take your $50 upfront for no reason is absurd. They will tell you that there is some fine print somewhere that warned you that "other charges might apply." And to that I say: CROOKED. Keeping your money and earning interest on it at a rate of $50 PER RESERVATION, you can only imagine how much money they make on that alone.
I refused to stay there and insisted my reservation be cancelled through hotels.com and that I have the charge backed off my card for my reservation and was told by the agent, who is in India, they would cancel but it would take approximately 30 days to get my money back for my reservation.
Ridiculous.
I will never, ever stay at a Ramada Inn because of their deceptive practices. I also will never use hotels.com.
