Do not stay in the YOTEL in Washington DC. As lovely as the pictures published here might look, they absolutely scammed me almost 1000 dollars.

Do not stay in the YOTEL in Washington DC. As lovely as the pictures published here might look, they absolutely scammed me almost 1000 dollars. They made me do the check in through one of the machines instead of with the receptionist who was at the desk. There I was made to pay 540 dollars (140 for taxes plus 400 for the deposit), and after putting my card, it said there was an error. The receptionist response? "oh just try again". So I did! and it again displayed an error - yet before trying for the third time I decided to check on my bank phone app and sure enough I'd been withdrawn the funds twice. Ok, no worries, they said - they would return those funds to me (940 in total: 400 out of the original transaction and 540 for the mistaken double charge) after the check out. According to them, there was no way of releasing even the 540 of the double payment before I left because they'd have to check me out in order to do that - so already I was 540 dollars short during my trip to DC. During the check out, they said I could expect - since I'd paid with a debit card - to receive the funds between 8 to 10 business days (which now meant I was 940 dollars short for my entire US trip, not just DC). After that time lapsed, and with me already back at home, I still didn't receive the funds. I had to contact the hotel and was pretty much going back and forward with emails with them. They could not provide any proof of the release of those funds, something that I could then take up with my bank to make the claim with them. How can I possibly get the money back if I have no proof that the funds have been released? There was a total opacity in the process of where my funds were (if they had indeed been released, if they were still with the hotel, etc). One could say that next time I shouldn't attempt to do the check in twice before I check whether the money had been withdrawn from my account - but the thing is that none of the funds were returned to me (not the 540 of the double payment but also not the 400 of the original transaction). Eventually, the bank did release 540 dollars, but here I am 3 months later and the other 400 are not with me. I have been trying to contact the hotel to please provide me with proof but now they just stopped answering altogether - which is just proof of their lack of professionalism. Read less
