FIRST of all, I have been booking and staying at this specific Townplace Suites for state cross country and track meets for YEARS, and have NEVER had an issue like this. I booked 4 rooms, specifically for the needs of my team and coaches, on March 26th for a one night stay May 3-4. I PREPAID for a 2 bedroom suite, reserved 2 more rooms with 2 queen beds to accommodate my team of 4 girls and 4 boys - PLUS their families and our coaches. I also booked a King for a coach. I verified my reservation weekly and checked in on the Bonvoy app the night before (May 2nd). Friday morning, the day of our arrival, Taylor, Director of Sales, called to inform me that my reservation was being canceled and they needed to move my 4 reservations to another property because there were guests who didn't 'check out' and they needed my rooms. I responded very nicely with ”I cannot move, I have families coming in who are staying at the property to be near their children” - I also pulled the titanium level, owners for 19 years card and asked her to please find other guests who could move. I told her that I had prepaid, already checked in, and could not move. She said OK. I arrived at the property a little before 3pm, just ahead of my teams first race at 5pm. The woman who checked us in gave us room keys - each coded with 2 br, 1 king, 2q, etc. When we got to the rooms, they were all 1 king bed studios. I came back down and was told that the GM had switched our rooms that morning and there was nothing she or anyone else could do. NO apology. She proceeded to call her manager who also did NOT apologize and actually blamed me for not switching hotels when Taylor called. He was rude and disrespectful and could not give me a reason as to why Carli changed our rooms. I again (admittedly, not so nicely) asked how this could happen if I 1. Made the reservation for specific rooms 5 weeks in advance. 2. Prepaid for one of the rooms, and 3. Checked in the night before. He had nothing to say, no apology, and again blamed me for not switching properties. If it had just been me and my coaching staff, that would have been tolerable, but it was 14 to 16 year old athletes who were unable to get good rest before competing in the state championship races that evening and the next day. It has been 3 days, and I have not had a single person reach out to me with any explanation. I feel just awful for my team and their families who had a terrible first experience at state.
We are big fans of this property. With family in Waco (and ties to Baylor) we enjoy coming to Waco. The manger of this hotel, Justin, is FANTASTIC and has been extremely helpful. The location is great, the value is great, and the staff is great. If you are visiting for the Silo's, they are a nice walk from the hotel. Also, if you drive a Tesla - they have free chargers on site!
I never leave poor reviews but I felt I needed to this time. Our family stays in Holiday Inn’s all the time and all over the country. It is because this one was so below standard and our experience was so poor that I needed to let others know so they can made an informed decision on whether to stay at this hotel. When I booked our two rooms for multiple days I specifically asked if they had a pool. The representative making the reservation said yes there is a nice pool at this hotel. When we arrived there was a sign on the counter stating the pool was closed due to remodels. The clerk did say that we could use the pool at the hotel next door but it was an outdoor pool and it was February (45 degrees outside). We get to our rooms and in one room the tv did not work. They did finally move us but we wanted adjoining rooms because we were there as a family. After a long day of driving we all wanted a hot shower but the hotel has turned down the hot water in the bathtub and the water was barely warm. After my wife and daughter got out of the shower they made me turn up the heater because the shower made them so cold. BTW the sink had hot water. Lastly, see other review on the breakfast. The first morning we ate there but subsequent days we went out and paid for breakfast. The hotel looks nice and clean but has significant issues, especially at $130 a night.
I'm going to try to keep this short. *read ending regarding illicit/illegal behavior* So I checked in, received a key card for my first room but it was occupied since the door wouldn't open. Went back for a second key card, let the staff know, they apologized and gave me the second key card and AGAIN it was occupied but this time I walk in and a man was pooping. After apologizing, I went to complain to the front desk. The young girl at the front was polite and apologized. I kindly requested to cancel my reservation and was told I would get a different room instead. At that point I asked to please have my reservation cancelled. She stated I would have to speak to management. The manager/owner Bob came out and said no to my request regarding the cancellation. When I insisted he stated, ”no room! No reservation! Leave!!!”Therefore, I called the police due to his hostility and the need for this to be reported so that I could receive a refund since he was refusing to de so. Per police, this motel/hotel has been under investigation for illicit/illegal behavior and has changed it's name as well as management three times in the past three months. Soooo,with all that being said please save yourself the safety risk, headache and unprofessionalism. I wouldn't trust my kids or family here EVER. Had to give one star in order to post this. Otherwise, I wouldn't rate it even one star. Also, the hallways smell of mildew.
Everytime ive came to this hotel,the big gut working is truely a person who's got no clues on hotels chains names.hescrather dumb on the facts of the name has all to do if your goingvto get bussiness. I'm sick that he's so not willing to honor the days inn standards.if someone in the corp office office of the days inn could please go to this bellmead hotel and see how they treat us custumers.omg. make a revation& I clearly stated when making this resvation I would be needing this room every week for the next 6months & we will be needing a early check in.by 1am to 12noon.they granted us this request. When I got to this property.im told yo come back afterc239 3pm.i said when we made the reservation they said we could check in early.well this petson tells me it's not up to days inn to say anything about there customer checking in. Oh ok.then I was charged 50 deposit for what? I paid 118.00 & $30.00 for early check in & a 50 deposit.for what.so we paid 200.00 almost for a room that's never worth 50.them people then wouldn't give us our 50 deposit back.they made us wait over 2weeks before I receive it back on my card.im not sure why they are so disrespectful to folks who's a day inn customer. I refuse to go back to this hotel cause every time we have to go through he'll to get a room.its sad,but if they keep running the days inn franchise name down.id the sign says days inn.u have to follow there rules and standards. But I was told there privately owned and they do what they want.wow that's when I choose to take my bussiness to Marriott. They've got the best employees there .I demand a investigation of their 5o.oo deposit& I wouldn't ever stay if it's nor carrying that name.hugw oroblwm
