I recently booked a 2 night stay in ****************. I did not realize the number I called was with Hotel Planner and not directly with the Hyatt. The person I spoke with did not inform me that we were not talking with ***** and this was a third party service. I believe this to be a deceptive business practice as well as a misrepresentation to the customer. Furthermore, the booking I needed was in a block of rooms at a discounted rate. The customer service representative told me he saw the block of rooms and booked us at the discounted rate. Later, when talking to ***** directly, they told us this would have been impossible, so I believe the customer service representative also lied to me when making this booking. Because of this misrepresentation, we will be needing the amount refunded in full. We will not accept any fees being taken out. Please have this processed as soon as possible because the fee we were charged is approximately double the amount this should have been. If the customer service representative would have informed me that he did not have access to the block information, we would have never used this serviceBusiness Response

I booked a room for a soccer tournament for my son. Upon arriving at the hotel I noticed a very strong mildew smell. When I arrived to my room there were fans and dehumidifiers on the floor. We then went to the pool and there was mold EVERYWHERE! I immediately made my son exit the pool due to him being immune compromised. I asked the front desk manager to cancel my reservation and refund. She agreed to cancel and advised I needed to contact Lexyl travel (hotelplanner.com) which I did immediately. They called the hotel to confirm acceptance of a full refund. The hotel agreed. I never received the refund because I opened a ****** dispute and the company refused to refund me. ******** the front desk supervisor had already refunded Lexyl travel the full amount on 6/2/25. Lexyl travel refuses to refund me! They have kept the money I paid to the hotel that rightfully should be refunded back to me. This has been a complete nightmare and has caused an immense amount of stress and more money since I had to find another hotel for that weekend. Since Lexyl travel (hotel planner) has been refunded- they should refund me back the money I was promised back.Business Response

I am writing to follow up on a refund promised to me after I made a reservation on May 7th, which turned out to be misrepresentedthe listing was advertised as a hotel but was in fact an Airbnb.Within 24 hours of booking, I called to clarify the listing and was assured by your representative that I would receive a full refund within 210 business days, despite the non-refundable policy. I was also told the refund ticket would be expedited due to the inaccurate ********** has now been over 18 business days, and I have not received any refund.

Complaint: 23436792
I respectfully reject their offer of a 50% refund in the form of a voucher for the following reasons:
On May 8th, I spoke directly with a representative from the business who assured me that I would receive a full refund of $936.40 due to the misleading nature of the booking. The property I reserved was advertised as a hotel, when in fact it was an ******, which is materially different and a serious misrepresentation.
During this call, the representative did not mention anything about a partial refund or a voucher. He stated clearly that the refund would be processed and expedited within 2 to 10 business days.
After this phone call, I received a cancellation confirmation, followed by a message offering a voucher. This directly contradicts what was communicated to me during the call, and it has caused further confusion and inconvenience.
I am currently in debt because of this unresolved issue. I used my credit card to make the payment, and I was financially burdened as a result of the misrepresentation and the delay in resolving the matter. I am simply asking for what I was promised in good faith: a full refund to my original payment method.
Therefore, I kindly request that the business honor the original commitment made by their representative and issue the remaining half of $468.20 to my credit card. Anything less is unacceptable, given the circumstances.
Thank you for your time and support in helping resolve this matter fairly.

Third party, Global Privileges, **************Business Response
Date: 05/12/2025
This guest had paid, $495.92 not $1004.77, Front desk agent had provided me with the information of this customer stating when she checked in guest came off as being super racist. Her attitude wasn't right even before she checked in. Despise the racial profiling towards my front desk agent she kindly asked she will be shifted in a different room where there was no issue. The reservation is non cancelable and non refundable no matter what the scenario. Because it's done through third party we can not refund, if we were to refund it would directly go back to the third party virtual credit card not the guest card. But again she wasn't in the mood to even understand the situation because she was too busy racially profiling my employee, this guest was looking for nothing but trouble as soon as she walked to check in. This is most defiantly a case of fraud so she can get the money back even though its a non refundable reservation. She did agree upon these terms and condition while she was booking the reservation so everything was done within legal rightsCustomer Answer

Our hotel dates were April 10 through April 17. I book the reservation through a third party. The carpeting in the doorway of our room was shredded, the room was musty smelling and dirty. We arrived late so we had to stay the night, total cost was $1004.77. The next day i ask to be transferred to another Super 8, they would not accommodate so I checked out before 11:00 am on the 11th and went to a Super 8 hotel in ******************* and paid for that stay too. I have contacted two people and was told I would receive an email but have not heard from anyone as of today. Our hotel itinerary number is *********.

On May 18, 2025, my fiance mistakenly booked a room for me at the Holiday Inn in ********* ** with Itinerary # ********** The only confirming email I received was from Refund Protection, which made it look like the charge for the reservation was $******. However, my credit card was actually charged $******.
We quickly realized his mistake and I immediately called Hotelplanner and spoke with Abigail. While I waited on the line, she called the Holiday Inn and canceled the reservation and confirmed for me it was canceled and further told me there was no reason I would not receive a full refund. Then, Alvin S. sent me an email saying "Hotel Approved Full Refund Verbally" and my refund was being processed but it would take 10 business days. On May 28, 2025, I received two installments toward my refund, one for $52.12 and the other for $159.18. However, I am still owed the remainder, which is $******.
This is a fraudulent scheme to defraud unsuspecting consumers. My fiance thought he was booking directly with Holiday Inn, but turns out it was through Hotelplanner; however, I never got confirmation of my reservation from Hotelplanner, I only received an email from its affiliate, Refund Protection. There is no transparency with whom you are doing business, and Hotelplanner uses this obscurity to its advantage. I was only able to get information about Hotelplanner from Abigail; otherwise, I would have never known with whom I was actually transacting business.Business Response

I purchased a hotel reservation with hotel *********** for July 25th to July 29th at the ******************** a destination by ************ When I checked the price it said it was 76% off and the total for 4 nights was $238.98 CAD. Once I completed the reservation and received my confirmation email I was charged $751.95 CAD. I was charged $513 CAD more than the reservation. I have photo and video evidence proving the price. I called hotel planner May 22, they said they would get back to be after escalating writhing ***** business hours, however I called today and they have no answer for me. I cant even cancel the reservation to get my money back. They have overcharged me by $500 and wont even refund me for the error. I have pictures and videos proving my price. I have sent them all the information. I cannot seem to attach it here as it is over 5MB. If there is another way to send the documents please let me know.Business Response
