Unbelievable but true nigh**are. I booked a standard $300-$400 a night room for the Snake River Lodge on November 2023 for my stay in February 2024. The confirmation email I received on 11/29/2023 said that I owed $2,506.49 for the 5 nights starting 2/8/2024. I then received an email saying that I would pay a 40% deposit of $919.82 for my upcoming stay. On 12/7 my credit card was charged $919.82 twice, which was not supposed to happen. Then on 12/26/2023 my credit card was charged ANOTHER $10,592.86 for a total of $12,432.50 for a room that cost 80% less. My wife did not realize that this was a fraudulent charge immediately because I was going with a group, so she thought people were paying me back for the stay, which has happened many times before. Upon my late arrival in February 8th, I checked in and the front desk person told me that in addition to having overpaid $12,432.50 for a $2,500 room, I still owed another balance of $12,000. I was shocked and I demonstrated to the front desk person that I did not owe that for a standard room and that it needed to be corrected immediately. Who has an extra $10k sitting around in there account for an unauthorized charge?? The front desk person agreed and said they would fix it. On February 23th I called the front desk and spoke to Earl about the fact that there was still a $10k balance on my credit card that had not been refunded by the Snake River Lodge as promised. I had to go through the situation with him again and he spoke with the front desk manager and promised that it would be resolved shortly. He issued me a corrected internal refund statement on Snake River Lodge letterhead to show that I did not owe the money. I went away for travel and then returned home on March 6th and notified the Snake River Lodge that the $10,000 still had not been refunded to me as promised. I spoke to Becky who is the front desk manager and she sent me the same internal refund document that showed I was owed the money and that it would be refunded within 48 hours. I requested an actual credit card refund transaction detail with the reference number and it was not provided. The refund still hasn’t come! I requested a wire to my account so I could pay the upcoming credit card bill and there has been no response. I have never felt so alarmingly helpless about a $10,000 theft by a supposedly reputable hotel. As of 4/9/2024 I still have not been refunded the $10,000 overcharge. Now I have to look into my legal options. The time and stress of dealing with this has been significant and they absolutely do not care. I even asked them to put themselves in my shoes, but all I got was lip service. if you read all of the reviews on various sites then you will find there is a consistent theme about questionable practices but none as large as $10,000
