  I was double charged on my card by this business. 2 different dates and charges but the companies policy is to hold your card charge 1 time for any future adjustments. They charged me at a completely different day after i checked out and when i asked them they said it was the regular charhe for the room stay. But they said they couldnt do anything about the hold from the initial charge. So essentially im double charged because they made the error of creating a new charge to finalize instead of finalize the initial charge. As far as im concerned this may be fraud. And the fact nobody wants to do anything except wait until the last possible legal day to see if it self corrects is ridiculous.

  My wife and I booked a room here for our wedding. There was a strangers pants in the bathroom and dried blood on the sheets!! We informed them and they moved us to another room and comped the resort fee for one of the nights. We shlepped all of our stuff to the new room (this was literally 2 hours after our wedding and we were exhausted), only to find that the new room was basically equally as dirty (period blood on toilet seat and visibly sticky substance on the bed frame). They upgraded us to a nicer room and the person we spoke with was nice, but when I asked if we could get a cart for our stuff (which they only allow an employee to use, understandably), the person told me i could go downstairs and ask for one. I gave him a look and he changed his tune and said hed send someone up. The new room was larger but the shower doesnt get hot at all. The elevators are also a total disaster, requiring very finicky keycards. We stood there for a long time at a broken elevator that wouldnt accept anyones keycards. We also called for water one night and they said theyd send it up but never did.This place advertises as a 4 star hotel. This place is an unhygienic disaster and it feels like unethical advertising.

  We fully understand the issues that were faced with our guests and have reached out not only to the guest, but we are also working with ******* in order for ******* to offer a full refund for the room. We have already removed all the resort fees from our end for a refund. 

  We hope that the guest contacts our Hotel Manager ***** ****** at either ************ or via email ********************************************. 

  We sincerely apologize for this particular guest's experience and are working to understand why the room was listed as vacant and clean when it was clearly still not cleaned. 

  We have also addressed the shortfalls in service from our housekeeping department. 

  We are deeply sorry this happened and are taking steps to help ensure it does not happen again to anyone staying at our property. This was not the normal experience for our guests.

  Hotel advertised a pool and restaurants open.. we get here and the pool is closed at 6 pm "because kids are back in school' and the restaurants are all closed during the day. There at literally 100s of hotels in the area to choose from. I would not have chosen this one if I knew that food and the pool were not available.

  Hello ***** and thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are disheartened to hear of your perception of your stay. We are not quite sure what restaurants were closed during your stay as all of our food outlets were open during their normal operating hours during your dates of stay. Our pool hours of course are commensurate with the other Downtown Las Vegas properties, but were in fact open during your dates of stay. You did purchase your stay through a 3rd party as a Non - Refundable booking. We appreciate your patronage and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

  My partner had reservations for four people, 3 nights with this hotel (August *****). My ************ who was one of the four, noticed her speaker went missing from the room on Sunday morning after we had used it in the room Saturday night. It never left the room yet it was nowhere to be found after the first night there. My camera and camera bag was also lost from the room. Both items were about the same size and black color items in a room full of luggage. My ************ submitted a lost-and-found request for her speaker and I also made a lost-and-found request for my camera. They did not follow up with either one of us, nor acknowledge that there were two lost-and-found request for the same room on floor 24; room ****. Not only were two items taken from our room, a package from Amazon made it to the front desk according to the delivery information but my package was never found at the front desk where it was received on Saturday 20th so I never received it from the hotel. My camera has serial no. ******** model Coolpix P530. My Lost-and-found number ID they sent me via text is ********. I don't think they looked into the matter. And it probably was not the first time items such as these have gone missing from a room at this hotel, targeting items that would be easily lost but unfortunately the items never left the room.

  Thank you for allowing us to respond. Upon investigation, it was found that we did respond the same day that the items were no found after a search of the room. I do apologize. I have refunded $101.52 that was the balance of the stay. The remainder of the stay was paid by Bluegreen Resorts not the Guest.

  We have stayed at the Downtown Grand several times in the past, and have had a wonderful time and a great experience. Unfortunately, this last visit was just horrendous.I am writing this letter regarding the appalling treatment my husband and I endured from your employees and management during our stay at the Downtown Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on September *****, 2022. Piciure this: You and your spouse are on the final day of your four day mini vacation celebrating your 9th wedding anniversary. You get up early with the sun shining, pack up your things, and head out to the pool for a few final hours of relaxation. You stop by the cafe and grab a toasted bagel and an iced coffee and await the pool opening at 10a. We get into the pool area, it's early so there are only about six other guests, and the selection of seating is wide open. We picked our usual spot, the same lounge area that we had used everyday on our trip. Grabbed some towels and laid them out on the furniture and began to enjoy the sunshine! The start to a wonderful final day. My husband has laid a towel down on the center cushion, as we have done every day this trip and multiple trips previously. My husband has had three spinal surgeries, including a spinal fusion, so a firm, flat surface is ideal for him to lay on. These center cushions are perfect. I was lounging on the sofa reading a book.Our peaceful time was interrupted when someone proceeded to poke my husband (who was lying down, eyes closed with headphones in, enjoying the day) to alert him that he was using the furniture wrong. We both are a little confused. At this point the person, who had still not introduced himself or explained who he was, was just going off about how my husband was lying on the table. He, I later found out was *******************, proceeded to tell us that the center cushion was actually a table and to be lying on it was gross, disgusting"...

  Thank you for giving us the ability to reply to this complaint. We have reached out to *************** several times attempting to speak to her about this. Sadly the guests' version of this story continues to change each time she emails or leaves a review. We are happy to discuss this further but the guests' continued use of profanity, insulting Downtown Grand Employees by name including employees who were not even involved in the initial concern and the fact that guest has made threats towards the company is making it difficult to come to a proper resolution. Example of the insults and threats to the company attached to this response.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The version of events have stayed the same and my reviews are consistent. My email correspondence is documented and unwavering. Whatever inconsistencies are on the part of Downtown Grand. I have not used threats or profanity and find it disturbing that would be suggested. I am disappointed that a business would resort to such threating tactics. 

  A full refund, is again, requested. 
  

  Sincerely,
