Hotel Ibis a Feldkirchen

If you arrive after a certain time (10pm according to the email, 11pm according to the sign on the desk) you have to request a code to get the room key from the safe. I tried requesting with both the online check in and email but got no reply, so we had to call internationally. The first time I called I was greeted with “we’re very busy, can you call back in 30 minutes?” They didn’t take no as an answer and said they’d call me in 5 minutes. When we arrived at 12:30am we got the key no problem, but the room was dirty. Sheets messed up and stained towels on the floor, obviously it had never been cleaned! We went to the front desk and there was a sign that gave a Night Audit number in case of emergencies. Except, it’s actually a third party and they can’t do anything. There was another woman already calling the number because she arrived to the hotel and her room key wouldn’t work. The person from the “emergency” number said she was unable to reach any of the hotel representatives so there was nothing she could do. She told the woman and us to go rent a room from the Holiday Inn two buildings down. We booked for two nights. So the following day the man at the front desk told us he would cover the bill for the stay at Holiday Inn and we would stay with Ibis for the second night. After having to make multiple international phone calls, waiting to figure out where we can stay for the night while exhausted, and taking all of our luggage between hotels multiple times, I asked if there was anything he could do for us. He said he could offer free breakfast. Which, honestly, I’m pretty sure you could simply walk over and get without paying anything. Terrible customer service. He said “mistakes happen.” Well, Holiday Inn said this kind of thing is common with Ibis. I suppose mistakes happen pretty often here. After all of this we weren’t offered any kind of refund at all, absolutely nothing for our trouble and stress.
