The protection coverage is misleading and cover is

The extra protection I purchased is very deceiving and basically covers nothing. We checked in at 30 minutes later. I returned to the office to let them know that my wife was having really bad menstrual cramps and a migraine so we decided to cancel our plans for the next day and drive back home to Riverside. When I spoke to the man at the front desk, he was very dismissive and just said go through hotels.com. There’s nothing I can do to help you here and I just asked him simple questions. If you knew anything about the protection plan, I called the customer service number for the protection plan insurance company, and they initially assured me that interrupted stay for the reasons I gave would qualify for a claim. When I tried to reach them over the course of the next couple of days, they told me that the only way my interrupted 30 minutes they could get covered was if we had a doctors note from the doctor for that night. We checked out at 11:30 PM and who goes to the doctor for severe mental cramps and a migraine. My wife just wanted to go home to sleep so she could feel better. This has happened to her before and it could last for a few days. Ultimately, I feel that the protection as described on hotels.com is very misleading and all lose to protection for any reason. But it is very unreasonable to expect a guest to go to the doctor in this situation just to prove the coverage. We were only there for 30 minutes and now I’m stuck for the entire pay of the stay.

Everything was fine. The checkin was easy and the night attendant was efficient and helpful. The place was clean and managed well. It's just definitely a no-frills place to stay with no real perks. Really just what we needed for a last-minute stay.

I booked the wrong day for this stay. Hotel staff and especially the hotel.com agent so the 800 call center fixed the problem within minutes. Allowed me to check in by rebooking the reservation. Excellent customer service

With my Dad not doing well, I've had to come back more frequently and a few of those times, the price and dates matched up...and I stayed here at Pleasant Inn. Each time has been welcoming, comfortable and clean. The staff tend to, overall, have a mindset of keeping the place inside/outside at a high level of clean--Hard to do when it's an older building, but they seem to care and I appreciate that.
