I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Motel 6-Airport in Boise, Idaho, and I want to warn potential guests about their deceptive business practices. I made an online reservation on June 6, 2024, with the following details: Check-in: Friday, June 21, 2024 Check-out: Sunday, June 23, 2024 Number of adults: 3 Number of children: 0 Number of rooms: 1 Room description: 2 Queen Beds Premium Amenities: a refrigerator and a microwave Total w/tax: $203.38 USD After traveling 7 hours, I arrived at the motel at 7 PM on June 21, 2024. The front desk clerk informed me that my reservation had been canceled because my credit card was allegedly declined. This explanation made no sense, as I had used a credit card with a $5000 balance. The clerk offered me another room but at a higher rate and without the microwave and refrigerator I had requested. He mentioned that their manager runs all credit cards at 6 PM for guests who haven't checked in yet and cancels reservations if the cards are declined. He claimed this happened to me and five other guests. There was no information about this policy when I made the reservation. Had I known, I would have called ahead to inform them of my late arrival. This practice seems like a bait and switch tactic. Another guest next to me confirmed that he experienced the same issue and had to pay more for another room. Later, I encountered another woman with three children who faced the same problem, with the clerk claiming her credit card was also declined. Feeling tired and frustrated, I reluctantly agreed to take the higher-priced room without the requested amenities. I then called Motel 6 customer service to file a complaint. The operator helped me book another room at Motel 6 Meridian and advised the clerk not to charge my card since no actual payment had been made yet. However, the clerk refused to cancel the charge and instead had me fill out a form for a refund, stating that his manager would need to approve it. While I was at the front desk, another woman arrived with a similar complaint about her reservation being canceled due to a declined credit card. I provided her with the customer service number and encouraged her to report her experience as well. This experience was highly frustrating and disappointing. The deceptive practices and poor customer service at Motel 6-Airport in Boise, Idaho, are unacceptable. I urge anyone considering staying here to reconsider and look for alternative accommodations.
