I had a room reserved for October 1st. At 1:30 in the afternoon, I was 20 miles away from arriving at the hotel, I received a phone call from them, saying they could not accommodate my reservation. They offered to push back the reservation by a day or cancel it without a penalty. I was stunned by the audacity of the hotel. *I* was not trying to cancel the reservation at the last minute, *they* were. How dare they even mention any sort of penalty. After expressing my discontent at the prospect of a cancellation fee, I asked why the reservation was cancelled. I was told some of the rooms had been flooded and couldn't be occupied. Okay, I get it. I'm not sure how they determined who got a room and who got a phone call, but since it was early afternoon I had some flexibility. I asked if they could move my reservation to the WoodSpring in Plano, 12 miles down the road. The young woman I was speaking with said they couldn't. So WoodSpring Suites in McKinney canceled my reservation 90 minutes before check-in, tells me they are nice enough not to charge me a fee, and won't move my reservation to the next closest WoodSpring 12 miles away. I would have ripped into them, but I'm confident the woman who called is a weekend staffer, not an owner or manager. She had to do the dirty work the owners and managers couldn't be bothered with doing themselves. Don't stay at WoodSpring. I didn't. They don't care about you or their own employees.
