After staying at Quality Inn Airport in Columbia South Carolina my privacy has been compromised.
After staying at Quality Inn Airport in Columbia South Carolina. I left an honest but negative review on the property on Google Maps The front desk clerk was rude and suggested I walk in the rain to a convenience store to use their ATM to get a cash deposit, rather that use the onsite ATM in the guest laundry area. The front desk clerk wouldn't even stand and address me as a customer, I had to request that he stand up, and assist me. I placed the deposit on my credit card for documentation and my own financial protection. Now they are maliciously holding my deposit for 5-7 business days rather than returning my deposit the same day as the other properties that I have stayed at. Ive always received my deposit returned on the same day that I checked out. After I checked out and went to another Hotel close by, the front desk agent at the new hotel indicated that the manager from the airport Quality Inn had already called and mentioned me, specifically and suggested this property not rent me a room. Quality Inn EARNED the negative review they received. I find it extremely offensive that they would call another hotel that was NOT a quality inn, to maliciously attempt to prevent me from getting another room. While Choice Hotels support staff have gone above and beyond to try and rectify this, the repeated harassment and violation of my privacy are completely unacceptable. I've spent nearly 1000.00 in the month of August and September at Quality Inn properties, and I've provided many positive reviews related to my stays at these properties. I GIVE the reviews that businesses EARN, both positive and negative. I will say it will be a long time before I walk into another Quality Inn due to the malicious retaliation that I am experiencing with a hotel manager that would rather attack a paying customer rather than take ownership of the issues that their employees have created. DO BETTER Quality Inn!!!!
