How do i get a refund from Motel 6 for a night I didn’t stay?

I made an online reservation for two nights at a Motel 6 and informed the man at the front desk that I’d only be staying for one when I checked in. He said I would be refunded the money for the night I didn’t stay. The next morning I check out and two weeks after that I get my credit statement that shows a charge for two nights. Am I supposed to get a check in the mail or what’s supposed to happen?

First of all, hopefully you kept the paperwork the hotel gave you when you checked out. That should show the date you checked in and the date you checked out.

I would dispute the charge with my credit card company, pending a resolution of the situation. Offer to provide them with a copy of your paperwork. Disputing the charge will put that charge on hold until the dispute is resolved or dropped.

I would contact the hotel, speak to the manager, and explain the situation. If the manager says that what happened is the policy of the hotel, ask for the policy in writing. If the manager can provide the policy in writing, then you’re screwed and you just have to pay for the second night. If not, then you have a really good case, and you should win the dispute with the credit card company. If the manager offers you a refund, I would keep the credit card dispute going until I get the refund. I would think that a refund would be more likely to show up on the credit card rather than be in the form of a check.

Which real estate agency in England is the most used for listing the big, beautiful country house properties?

I’d love to look ‘em up online and see what’s for sale, just for fun!
Wow! Both of you were so helpful. Thanks!

Have a look at rightmove.co.uk, the estate agents list all properties on there, all over the uk, all kinds of houses some of them mega bucks.

What kinds of costs are involved in making a decision to shut down a motel?

What does a motel need to do to shut down?

1. To what extent do you want to preserve the physical condition of the property? Do you need to continue to heat or cool the property at some level to prevent mold formation, pipes bursting, etc.?
2. Cost to secure the property — unless you want squatters moving in — and insurance to protect against liability claims if someone is hurt on-site or physical damage occurs from fire, wind, etc..
3. Minimal exterior maintenance — to keep in compliance with local ordinances on weeds, etc.
4. Cost to cancel current contracts/arrangements — severance, unemployment, COBRA costs for staff; credit card arrangements; reservations contracts and websites; maintenance contracts, etc.
5. Real estate and personal property taxes will continue, even after close down, although appeals could be made to reduce taxes based on reduced revenue.
6. Mortgage payments, if any, will also continue.
7. The above costs should generate a loss for income tax purposes, but you might also have taxable income in the last year of operation, and you need to account for that.

What should I pack for a motel at the beach?

I am going to the Wildwoods in NJ, USA in a few days and I am wondering what I should pack. I have a lot of things to bring for the 3-night stay at the motel, but I am unsure of the best things to bring for the best experience possible. Is there any help here? Please respond with whatever you can give me that I can bring for the maximum relaxing vacation. The beach scene will be in my reach soon so respond ASAP, please! Thank you so much, everybody!

I live here in wildwood, a block away from the boardwalk! Bring ALOT of money, the boardwalk might wipe out your cash with the arcades, the rides and the stores! Bring a camera, anything for the beach like a surf board a towel (Duh!) a boogie board and a lot a water, snacks a big sheet to tan on and sunscreen

Can a motel raise a rate after a confirmation number has been given?

Booked a room online at a small motel in Chico California at the rate of $110 per night.
Was given a confirmation number and printed out the reservation.
Got a call from the manager today saying the rate was wrong and the rate will be $150 per night.
Is this legal?

Legal probably not however yes this can happen, Until you pay in full any room rate can change due to local tax’s and cost of living.

What % of your net income should go towards rental accomodation?

Hi All

I might have to start renting my own place soon, and was wondering from my net take home salary how much should i put towards rent, therefore knowing what price-range of accomodation/flats to look for?

thanks

The rule of thumb is 25%, especially when you are young. When you are young you often have more stuff to do that costs money and do not have much of a savings to provide a cushion to cover expenses if you get hurt or sick.

What qualifies an apartment as a luxury apartment?

I see listings for "luxury" apartments. What does this mean in comparison to regular apartments?

Usually things like good air conditioner systems, furniture, jacuzzi bathtubs and sometimes a door man/desk who opens the door collects your packages. They tend to have features that are beyond the outside surroundings. Kind of the difference between a Resort and a Hotel if that helps. Like at a Hyatt Hotel there is a doorman, but at Best Western, you just walk out your self.
