Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
When I arrived, I requested to change my reservations from day rather than days, which was the original requestIn addition, I requested to change to a private room On the reservation receipt, toward the bottom of the page, under "special requirements", it states the following:"...We do not accept cancellations or changes via phone You must make your request in writing via email to ***" When I arrived at the office, I asked for the changes to be made, and the manager came out behind a door & pointed to a sign on the desk that said that there were absolutely no refunds!!!!
I asked to look at the room because the office was not very clean, and I wanted to see if the room reflected the same condition When I was taken to the room, it was actually a lot worse and I was not going to stay in a place that look like it had never been cleaned I did not say anything because I was fearful of what the consequences would be, especially since the man behind the desk mentioned that the place was not a hostel but a mental institution.
I have stayed in other shared dorm room facilities on the mainland and in other countries and have never seen one as filthy as this one I made my final decision about not staying there, after seeing the room.
Sincerely,

The customer has been refunded as of 02-03-14.
I emailed him direct to let him knew.
We did find his some of his complaints valid but some were very exaggerated when we inspected the room.
