  I was charged $140.82 by The Chicago Hotel Collection Magnificent Mile for services I did not agree to or use. This charge was not listed in my booking confirmation and was falsely explained as a deposit issue, then later reclassified as a breakfast/bar package I never opted into.Details:I booked one night (July 1213, 2025) through Skiplagged. My total cost was $221.68:$101.73 paid upfront $119.95 due at hotel (resort fee)At check-in, I was unexpectedly charged $140.82, which staff initially claimed was a deposit failure. Later, they said it was for breakfast and bar access, which I never requested or used. This was not listed anywhere in my Skiplagged booking breakdown. I have receipts and screenshots showing the original agreement.Additionally, the room was in unacceptable condition. There was visible ***** matter on the carpet, and I was denied a room change after reporting it. This raises serious sanitary and ethical concerns.Ive already opened a dispute with my bank, and I am filing this BBB complaint to report the deceptive billing and unsanitary conditions. Im requesting a full refund of the $140.82, a formal acknowledgment of the room condition, and accountability to ensure this doesnt happen to others.Thank you,****** *******

  It's interesting to note that Mr. ******* did not register any complaint with the Front Desk, nor call the Emergency Line to speak with anyone concerning his stay. There are no notes in our system regarding any of this. He was fully advised of the Guest Benefit Package consisting of Breakfast for 2 and 2 drinks each evening of his stay.  He booked his stay through Priceline/Agoda, and there is no chance he did not see the Hotel charges before he purchased his Reservation. Copies of the check out pages for both Vendors are attached.

  There will be no refund.

  I booked this hotel through a third-party vendor and was unaware of additional fees customers are charged at the **********************. The deposit fee for incidental was acceptable and standard but should have been charged at booking. The staff never smiled, greetings were forced none of the staff had name tags (purposely done). One of the staff members had the audacity to say and I quote her "Because I read, I know what charges are." Which was incredibly insulting, which also meant that all 15 paying customers at the front desk complaining about the same thing don't read, wow! This is how this hotel staff treat customers? That is why no one wears a name tag purposely.The staff is forced to implement policies that are predatory, deceptive and is unfair practices by this hotel franchise. Their grade is F, they have hundreds of complaints and BBB has to take look at this business model because of the hotel abusive practices, my time in Chicago was ruined. I was boldly told by the staff that the $105.89 is an amenities fee that is charged to everyone. The amenities that were given was 6 bottles of water and $25 credit that is only given If customers ask (typically no ask and they keep the credit). These predatory practices. So, basically, I paid $17.64 (which it was more did not include taxes) per bottle of water which is absurd. What I really would like is for front desk staff members to read my letter because not only do I read, but I can also write and actually do math, how ridiculous!

  Ms. ****** attached a copy of the Hotel Policy which obviously displays the Hotel charges. 

  When she booked in April of 2025, the Guest Benefit Package was $49.95 plus a Reservation Processing charge of 18%.  It is clearly displayed on her attachment.

  The Guest Benefit Package includes a long list of discounts for virtually every ***** attraction in Chicago, and every ***** City in the ********** These discounts NEVER EXPIRE and can be utilized by scanning the ** codes contained in the brochure she received at the time of checking into the Hotel. We value this package at over $650 and encourage all of our Guests to utilize them.

  I am rejecting this response because: the predatory practices by the staff and the hotel is unfair. They overcharged for fees and offered nothing. Therefore I will be expecting a refund. I have attached the Priceline charges to be refunded.

  Ms. ****** attached a screenshot of the current charges.  She booked her stay back in April and the charge at that time was $49.95 plus tax, along with an additional Reservation Processing charge of $62.43

  Since she booked through a third party, we cannot be responsible for something they omitted from their web page, not ours. Had she booked directly with us, there wouldn't be any misunderstanding. 

  Had she booked after May 8th, her total charges for the exact same package would have been $157.00

  There will be no refund.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  This hotel has a rating of "F". Hidden charges, extremely rude staff. Minimally, I should be refunded the amenities fees, which was NEVER provided. They gave away water which was the amenities so 6 bottles cost me almost $20. Does that seem reasonable? They are charging fees and not providing anything. I would like a full refund this hotel doesn't deserve to be in business or my money.

  Horrible experience, like everyone in the these reviews mentioned. I booked through *********** March 6, 2025 when I arrived to check in on May 9, 2025. I was told my reservation is cancelled, they explained that they had change of ownership end of March or whatever month after I booked it, and they never record any payment from booking or previous owners *****. I called booking right away explained the situation, booking spoke to the manager I was told I can pay the damage deposit if $125 and everything else has been handled. Well come to find out at the time of check out on Monday I looked at my Amex statement and I was charged for the full stay. I went to speak to the manager downstairs and advised that this was handled on Friday she said she has no knowledge of anything and that they have no payment information from booking so they charged my card which I did not authorize. I am disputing charges with booking and my Amex card. This is unacceptable, the staff and management major attitude, seems like they running a scam, scamming people of their money. Action law suit should be filed which I will be looking into when I return back home. The whole experience was a nightmare. Please read the reviews and believe it, it's true and it's happening to many people.

  The hotel charged me $75 more than was advertised online. By the time they disclosed it they told me there was a no refund policy. Then they charged me $125 for room incidentals. They kept this and didn't tell me why. I see no reason to. Total charges were $280 instead of the quoted $68.

  Mr. Wing booked through Agoda / Priceline. and could not have missed the separate Hotel charges on their site. He also would have received a confirmation email clearly disclosing the separate Hotel charges. His Security deposit of $125 has been released back to him. It was hold on his card, but not a charge.

  I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a highly unsatisfactory and misleading experience at The chicago hotel mag mile located on superior next to ******************************During my recent stay, I was charged an additional ~$100 per day under the pretense of a convenience fee. This fee was not clearly disclosed at the time of booking and, upon inquiry, I was told it covered a gift bag containing six generic water bottles and a printed map of the city with coupons. You can say no to the fee and I was not offered a refund for my hotel stay when asked. These items in no way justify the exorbitant daily surcharge.The hotel appears to take advantage of its proximity to a major hospital, seemingly targeting guests who may be booking last-minute due to emergencies and are therefore less likely to cancel or seek alternative ***************** addition to the unjustifiable charges, the room conditions were unacceptable. The space smelled strongly of mildew, and the furnishings were worn, outdated, and poorly maintainedresembling those of a low-grade motel rather than a professionally operated hotel.This establishment appears to be engaging in deceptive and predatory business practices. I am requesting that the BBB investigate this matter, and that steps be taken to hold the hotel accountable for misleading pricing, unsanitary conditions, and exploitation of vulnerable guests.Please let me know if any further documentation is needed.

  Mr. ****** obviously speaks with forked tongue. You can see from the attached, he was informed of the Hotel charges on March 31,2025.

  The Guest Benefit Package for $49.95 each evening includes a long list of discounts for every ***** attraction in the City of Chicago, and they never expire!  These benefits also are good in every ***** City in the ***** and they NEVER EXPIRE!!

  He has the brochure that clearly describes all of these items.  He booked through Hotel Beds, and they clearly list these charges on their website.

  3/20/25 $176.62 was paid for (2) nights for a hotel 166 Magnificent Mile. Chicago. On the alohatravelandtours site it was clearly labeled as including taxes & fees. After paying for the non-refundable room, | received the following via email: Internal Note: Resort Fee + tax its per night due at property. Estimated total amount of taxes & fees for this booking:117.28 US Dollar + *****% payable on arrival. This is more than 78% of my agreed upon room rate which was shown to include taxes and fees! | immediately called the concierge team from the 3rd party booking site to demand a refund on the room. He called the hotel and they told him - sorry - it was a non-refundable reservation. This is ridiculous, they clearly have hidden these exorbitant fees in the fine print/local notes to make there hotel look like the best value. If these fees were due, they should have been clearly shown on the MAIN booking pages, not after committing payment. It is clear that this hotel is gaming the booking systems to appear a good value, and then not even allowing guests to cancel the same day of booking.

  We receive this complaint frequently when Guests book through various Third Party sites. As I have stated in previous responses, our own website and those of the ***** Booking platforms such as Expedia, Hotels Tonight, Agoda, and *************************** fully disclose our separate charges, and the Guest can't purchase the Reservation without seeing them BEFORE purchasing. When Guest use ********, *****************, etc., these charges are not always displayed on those platforms. We do provide the information, but we do not control how and if it is displayed.  It is not something we have control of.

  The date we got reservations for was November 8, 2024-November 10th, 2024. We got there November 8th 2024. At check in they had crazy fees that they didnt have on the booking site but if you go to there page youll find the over charged fees in small writing. We let that go. My husband only had the exact amount on his debit card so with the hidden fees my husband had to use my card. We got to our room. We walked in it stunk, there was mold everywhere, peeling paint on walls, the bathroom was disgusting, toilet wouldnt flush as soon as we got there but we didnt mess with it too much because we had to get to our wedding anniversary dinner. The bathroom ceiling was peeling and mold everywhere. A lot of info will be attached in the pictures at the bottom. We went to dinner, woke up around 7. Realized the toilet wouldnt flush at all. Called the front desk a little after 7. We asked for a different room. They told us they were fully booked. They told us maintenance would be there. An hour passes. We call again they tell us no one is there. As soon as we ask for a refund an to checkout a maintenance man knocks on our door as were heading out. We go downstairs. The manager makes us wait around 40 mins. He comes out tells us he has no problem giving our refund. Says itd be in our accounts within 7 days. All we asked for was to be refunded for sat since we were leaving. The manager **** said Id probably have to file with my bank. So I did just that. He knew what he was doing. They then fought my bank and denied my refund. They also DID NOT check us out til Sunday morning!! We left SATURDAY morning. **** is a rude manager. He actually told people on the reviews of the business that no one cares about the reviews anyways. He then told me I was a liar and we called the front desk at 4am. Thats a LIE. The time stamp we took on the p*** that wouldnt flush says it was taking at 740. Our calls started after! He has said hed refund me many times as youll see in emails.

  Ms. ******* reported the problem at 630an, as you can see from the Communication log attached here.

  Ms. ******* disputed her entire bill with her own credit card company, and she lost. Typically a credit card company sides with their customer in the vast majority of cases as we win only about 40% of valid disputes. 

  I even discussed this exact issue with her. She disputed the entire bill, not just one night. She could have disputed just the one night but she didn't. 

  She also never reported any other issues, as you can see from our Communications entires. If she had, they would have been addressed the previous evening.

  This is a case of: she is upset she challenged her entire stay and lost, instead of just disputing part of her stay. Her own credit card company obviously didn't believe her.

  We are not inclined to issue a refund, but we are willing to extend an offer of one free ngiht's stay.

  I am rejecting this response because: Im unsure why **** is saying I made these calls and all this. For one I never made the reservation. My husband did. I didnt make the calls. Again my husband did. You can try to make me look bad all you want but your reviews speak for themselves. I filed because you guys never planned to refund me anyways. I dont have a credit card company!!! Its a bank card! Youve said in multiple messages youd refund the ONE night once the dispute was resolved. Thats literally all Im asking for. Is my one night stay that Id dont stay. Also if you read your reviews of your hotel **** EVERYONE says it stinks, its moldy from moisture, ect. This isnt a case of I want the full amount. All Ive asked for is my one night that you have said would be refunded. For you to think Id ever want to stay at your hotel again is insane. You were nothing short of rude. Again it says in your DOZENS of 1 star reviews how rude you are. Youve also mentioned to reviewers that people dont read reviews anyways and who cares about their reviews. This is just a case of you scamming people and s******* people over. Again Id neverrrr stay at your hotel again. Id like my one days stay which I didnt stay back. Like you said you were going to do. Also I think its funny how you (****) have ignored multiple messages from me BUT BBB contacts you and you respond immediately. Again says a lot about you and how you live daily life. 
  Im not ever going to settle with a stay at any hotel you will ever run. Thanks again.

  As we stated earlier, Mr/Mrs ******* disputed the entire bill with their credit card company instead one just the one night stay. As a result, we incurred time and expense of disputing the event with our credit card processor. 

  The fact that they lost, is indicative of the quality of their dispute.

  I am rejecting this response because: 
  I spent time on the phone with my BANK they told me the dispute was closed because I was being refunded. I never received my refund. The bank told me all I had to do was send them proof of you saying youd refund me! I mean you did look me and my husband right in our faces and say youd refund our one nights stay and the deposit. You sent me multiple emails saying youd refund me. I asked you multiple times for proof of the refund, receipt, ect. You sent me some lame receipt that didnt mean anything. But I will be calling my bank and going in to show them all your emails. Youve wasted a lot of my time over less than 300$. I wont stop until I get my refund.  You think you run such a big business and can bully people. You've had MULTIPLE people talk about how hard it is to get a refund from your business. Thats honestly super pathetic and weird. You guys thought we were going to be fine staying in a room with a non flushing toilet? Again look at your reviews EVERYONE complaining about hair in the shower drains, sinks, toilets, all that not draining. Sounds like you have a HUGE issue you should attend to. Your front desk staff told us multiple times we couldnt get another room because you guys were fully booked. Thats why we told them we wanted a refund and were leaving. It wasnt until then that you guys magically had a room to give us. Would you want to stay somewhere that the staff was rude, had to call the front desk 7 plus times, the bathrooms were moldy, hair in shower drains, non draining toilet, slightly smelly, and way outdated? Im going to say no. We tried to look passed everything because it was our wedding anniversary weekend. But a non flushing toilet is an absolute no.

  I am writing to express my profound disappointment with my recent experience at this hotel on Saturday, October 26th. While the booking process was smooth, I was defrauded by questionable business practices and dismissive attitudes.When I arrived in room 2104, I was affected by harsh carpet cleaning products that severely irritated my asthma, prompting me to check out within 20 minutes. ******* at the front desk was kind and assured me that my incidental fee would be returned immediately and that I could call for my refund the following day. I had ordered a Lyft to go to friend's house about 30-mins away and didn't think I couldn't trust that everything would be sorted in the morning since it was quite late after a long day of travel for me. I got into my lift close to 10 pm. However, despite multiple calls and texts made on Sunday, October 29th, no one responded until 3 days later, when I received an automated text from ******* ****, Director of Operations, thanking me for a 3-night stay. The text had his email and phone number. I immediately followed up in text that I would call *** ****.I called *** ****, who excused me from the phone stating that he wasn't at his desk, but to give him my name and room number that I checked out of. He promised to return my call but has since not followed up despite multiple attempts to communicate with him. It is unacceptable for a hotel to charge me for a 3-night stay and refusing to refund me. I did not spend a single night in the hotel, and I left for ******* the next afternoon in a car service, all facts that raise serious concerns about the integrity of this hotel's operations.I expected better from a so called four-star establishment and urge them to address these issues to align with the service standards guests deserve.

  My wife, ***** *****, and myself booked a room at the Chicago Hotel Collection Magnificent Mile on 9/15/24 through her ****************** discount program, Union Plus Hotels for an overnight stay on Saturday September 21st and checking out on Sunday September 22nd.The stay was charged on my debit card for a total of $245.44. When we arrived at the hotel, the desk clerk told us there was a required charge of $91.55 to be made for fees, which he couldn't explain and he also told us that a $125 temporary charge would be made on our account as a placeholder, but it would be refunded upon checking out.We complained about the charges and the desk clerk at check out gave us the invoice showing what the $91.55 was about, but it didn't make sense. She said that the $125 would be credited back to our account right away. It is now 9/26/24 and I still haven't gotten back my $125. I emailed the hotel with the attached complaints and I have not heard back from them, and there is no number where to call this horrible hotel.

  Ms. ***** ***** booked her trip through Expedia. She received a confirmation email from us, through her Expedia email address. I have attached a copy of what she received from us through Expedia.  It's clear that our Guest Benefit Package of $49.95 plus tax, and our Reservation Processing Recovery charges are in her confirmation, and she could have easily called the Hotel for an explnation.

  Their statement that they knew nothing about it, or we didn't explain it to them is very disingenuous.

  Their security deposit dropped off today, and it will be returned to them.

  I am having a really difficult time contacting them and getting some help with my situation. I booked in mid August for what would have been my birthday weekend and stay in Chicago. My husband works in the wedding industry and received an inquiry for a potential wedding that weekend. Unfortunately we booked a nonrefundable stay, but I called almost immediately after booking to see if there was any flexibility to cancel and get a refund. The man that answered was very nice and immediately said that there was no problem & would refund us. I asked for written confirmation & was told I would get an email within a day. I still had not gotten an email so I called August 21st and another man answered, who was very rude and disrespectful. He confirmed the same information as the gentleman from the first conversation on August 19th- my reservation was canceled, ************** very soon. I called again for the ********** asked me, didn't you just call like 8 minutes ago?? You'll get your email." Safe to say I never got the email. I went online and did see that they noted my reservation as canceled. I did not go to the ****************** charged me over $600 for the stay that I had cancelled and never went to. I called again and the same rude employee answered and said there was no note under my reservation about a cancellation or refund. I also sent out a message and email to guest services two days ago which is where they say it's the fastest and best way to reach them and nothing. I've never encountered a place that cares so little about customer service and is so blatant about it. I understand that it was a nonrefundable booking but the issue lies and starts with the fact that I would told more than once that it would be refunded/not charged and not to worry about it, which is why I didn't go. If they would have told me that they will follow policy and not refund me if I cancel then I would have simply figured it out to stay and use my moneys worth.
