We stayed at the Comfort Inn in St. Catherines and was quite shocked by the customer service and rooms. We booked and paid for two double queen rooms, accidentally, through booking.com, but only wanted one. Whilst I wish I could have gotten a refund for one of them, I fully understand the refund policy and the mistake is on my end. Since I paid for over 600 CAD for a single night for the two rooms we decided to use both of them. This is where the problems started.
The one room smelled of Urin.... a very heavy Urin smell was coming out of the Bathroom/Entry way of the Room. I am aware that the comfort in is not a 5 star hotel, but I expect a certain standard and Urin smell is just unacceptable. I asked the staff at the Front Desk if they could clean the bathroom; relocate us or refund us. She offered to spray some Air Freshener.....After having to argue that that would not solve the cause of the smell, she called the manager for guidance on the situation. She called the manager and came back and said she could only do a small clean herself because the cleaners are off already and otherwise I should complain via email to the Manager, who will reply after the weekend. We accepted the small clean and left the room as she "cleaned" it in 5 minutes and we went back it and the smell was still there. I returned the keycard to the Front Desk, emailed the manager, and we decided not stay in one of the 300CAD rooms. I would have been content with just getting a different room, even a smaller room, without Urin smell, however this was never offered! The manager replied today and has informed me that there is no refund, no price reduction or anything for a room that I did not take because of a smell. He did offer a free overnight stay at his discretion of it worked out, which is quite useless as I would have to get paid to step foot into that place again. The smell was bad, but otherwise the comfort inn has seen better days and felt quite dirty and overall uninviting. I hope my mistake helps someone here :) Just choose a different place... read more
