Business ProfileforWoodspring Suites Seattle Redmond

People should be warned about this place. Only after my experience, while on the phone with Choice Hotels Customer Relations did I find out that this WoodSpring Suites is actually privately owned and only a Choice Hotels partner, meaning Choice Corporate could not help me resolve the issue. I'm honestly not even sure what they did was legal, but I have no idea how to resolve the problem at this point, so I simply want to warn others.In March I signed my son up to participate in a special 6 week summer program at a school down the road. This summer program is only offered at the Redmond location at the ******* location. Even though we live on the east coast, we planned for months to make this work. I booked a room at the WoodSprings Suites from July 1st, 2022 - August 16th, 2022 (46 nights) because it was within walking distance from the school and avoiding the need for a car would help us save money on this already expensive trip.I booked the room through their own website on March 18th and received a discount for booking more than 28 nights. My room rate was $69.21 / night for a total of $3,183 (before taxes). I received a confirmation email that day as well. On 6/23 I received another confirmation email.On 6/24 I called the hotel front desk to let them know that due to flight costs, we would actually be arriving on 7/3 instead of 7/1 as originally expected. I spoke with *******. He said that would be fine and made a note on the reservation.On 6/26 I receive another confirmation email "Your Stay with Us is Just Days Away".On 7/2, I decided to call one more time to confirm the 7/3 arrival. I spoke with *******, who told me that my reservation was cancelled on May 10th, by the regional manager *****************. In order to get my room, I would have to pay a rate of $156 / night, more than double my original rate. We cancelled the entire trip, trying an online program instead. If I found out after flying across the country, I don't know what we would have done.
