April 2010 stay at the Radisson Airport
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/20/10
The employees were very nice, the food at the resturant was good, the bar is expensive. First, three of the six days I stayed at the Raddison, the maid service forgot to leave clean towels and coffee. Secondly, the sheets on the hide a bed were dirty and we put them on the couch for the maid to take them, they were still there after the maid service left the room. Additionally, they insisted on reserving $180 on my credit card, which on the last day they finally said they would get released, but the card company said it would take up to eight days to get released! Some of the other people who they did this to were refunded immediately, but I am still waiting. They told me it was because I purchased my ticket from priceline.com. I have never had to do this before and will never recommend this hotel again because of this. I was here for a residency at the University, and shuttle service was included to the University for those who purchased their ticket through priceline, but those who made their arrangements through Expedia had to pay $5 per trip. They also use glass cups and glasses, which I had to wash before use, one day a cup had lip prints on the clean cup. The carpets are filthy, if you stay here wear socks. The issue of the credit card was stressful and I have never had to do this anywhere on my travels in the U.S. or abroad. This reserve of money on my credit card was not on my priceline contract anywhere and I would not stay here again because of this alone. Each day I asked for them to release my money, they pointed to a sign on the desk, which I did not see when I checked in, but that does not make it right. Some of my co-students refused to pay, and they didn't push it.
