What our Guests Say
Here's a snippet of what guests say about
booking day passes on HotelsByDay.com
This was my second time at the location because my first time was great, this time I was given room 214 and when I went it was occupied and went back to the counter, I was given room 314 and someone walked in on me and my partner.. No privacy someone can just walk in on you just because they be giving rooms that are being used.
hi Saul. As per our earlier conversations, we have passed on your message to the hotel executives. It is very regretful that their mix-up has ruined your day stay and we have communicated that ruined experience because of an incomplete staff training on their end. We trust the service will improve for all guests at this hotel in the future and we thank you very much for taking the time to let us know. We're on it.
Thank you Saul.

BEWARE!!! We booked 2 rooms and pre-paid in full a 5 hour Day room at a Miami hotel through HotelsByDay. When we arrived we had to put up a $50 (pending) credit card hold. Two hours after we left we had noticed that both rooms had been charged an additional $93 plus $43 over and above the paid room. We contacted the hotel and was told there was no such charge, we contacted HotelsbyDay and they said the charges were in error and would be removed. 5 days later and the $50 was removed but not the other 2 charges. We contacted our bank to dispute the charges and they advised that it is a possible fraud against our credit card. We are still waiting for the reversals or for the credit card company to resolve and reverse the fraudulent or fake charges.
hello Vivian. Thank you for taking the time to review your past stay and we are so sorry to read that an error in charging has ruined what would otherwise be a great day stay! --- To be clear, it is NOT HotelsByDay that overcharged you, but the hotel. Our team has reached out the hotel multiple times to make sure that the overcharges gets refunded right away. We called them so many times that they're not taking our calls anymore, and have just now sent an email to their executives asking for an explanation. We are certain this financial issue will get resolved in your favor and are working hard in your favor to resolve it ASAP.
Please note however that when a financial transaction gets disputed, it may freeze the entire process for a few months. Anyway, we're on top of this issue on your behalf. Thank you Vivian for your incredible patience.

Person at front desk was rude. He stated since I made the reservation was made on this website he did not have to honor it. So I did not stay. I called Hilton and told them about this and another matter. I will never stay at this hotel.
hi William. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We have immediately reached out to the property and are waiting response. What happened to you sounds absolutely unnaceptable and we will get to the bottom of this. Thank you dearly for letting us know.
Be well.

The pool wasn’t heated as mentioned, even the shower by the pool wasn’t cold. I did not enjoy, and left after 5 minutes.
Hi Alhan. So sorry to read you did not enjoy the Mississagua property! We have passed on your feedback to our partners right away and look forward to them improving the service immediately.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know and hope you'll give it another chance soon.
Be well Alhan.

It was difficult to control the water temperature in the shower in the room. It was either freezing or scorching hot.
hello Omri. Thank you for your review. We passed on the info to the hotel and hope that they correct it for future guests. Yet, personally speaking, I think I know what you're talking about: the shower system in France, with the little red button underneath the knob, is difficult to understand and has burned/froze me as well more than once! Here I was thinking I was the only one :)
Thanks again for your review Omri and hope for better luck next time!

The room was not ready for 1.5 hours after the stated check-in time. This is frustrating when the reason you purchased a day room was to avoid waiting around with your bags. Many people were waiting for a day room and were very upset none were ready because “they were sold out last night”. The rooms are a bit old and dingy. Airport shuttle was convenient.
hi Clare. Noted! We acknowledge your review and will make sure the hotel is aware of it as well. Thank you for taking the time to review your experience and for your most appreciated patience. Wishing you safe travels! Be well.

The bedroom was very dirty and dark. Not a good experience.
Hi Reginaldo,
Sorry to hear this wasn't a good experience. The hotel handles cleanliness and room conditions, but we'll make sure this feedback is shared so they're aware.
We appreciate you taking the time to let us know, and for booking through HotelsByDay.

Sharing my experience with Hilton (Homewood Suites LAX) I’m posting this publicly because after weeks of emails, I’ve stopped receiving responses. I was charged an extra night at the Hilton LAX after I had already checked out, returned my key card, and boarded an international flight. After I provided proof I was not even in the hotel — or the country — I stopped receiving replies altogether. I’m not asking for special treatment. Just a fair investigation, transparency and a refund for a charge that doesn’t make sense. If Hilton staff reused or reissued my key card incorrectly, that’s a hotel error — not a guest’s responsibility. Posting this so other travelers are aware, and hoping Hilton will finally address this properly. Hilton — I’m still waiting for a response.
Hi Laura. Pardon the delay in responding to this channel but I am aware that our customer service team reached out immediately after getting your message and I believed resolved it for you, via the Hilton staff called Diana. I believe things are now resolved and case closed. If we're mistaken, please do not hesitate to reach back to us via our 'contact us' link. Thank you Laura for booking with HotelsByDay!

Stayed there many times in the past year, but this time they charged $23 of security deposit for nothing.... Opened dispute for this fraudulent transaction.
Hi Anton,
Sorry to hear about the concern with the charge - that’s understandably frustrating, especially after staying there multiple times.
The hotel may set a security deposit or pre-authorization, which is typically released after checkout, depending on its policy and your bank’s processing time. That said, we’ll make sure this feedback is shared so the hotel can review what happened.
We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Poor in every way from check-in staff, bar staff and room. The hotel had a power cut when we arrived, was taken up to a room which wasn’t finished being cleaned, weren’t given a room key. The room was old, musty and in need of a total refurb, dirty torn carpets and a dirty bathroom. Ordered lunch at the pool bar and the service from the barman was rude, abrupt and unprofessional. The only positive point was the shuttle service & driver. Not worth the money considering we were charged $151 for the privilege!!!
Hi Paul,
We're sorry this experience fell so far short of expectations. That’s not how a day stay should feel.
Front desk service, room readiness, maintenance, and bar operations are all managed by the hotel, but we’ll make sure this feedback is shared so they’re aware of what happened and how it impacted your visit. We appreciate you taking the time to lay this out, and we’re glad that at least the shuttle service was a bright spot.

This hotel is older and definitely not updated. The room I was in didn’t have a working deadbolt, but thank goodness it had a chain because someone (assuming housekeeping) knocked on my door and opened it!
Hi Emily,
We're sorry to hear about this - that's definitely unsettling. The hotel manages room hardware, maintenance, and housekeeping procedures, but we'll make sure this feedback is shared so they can review what happened.
Appreciate you booking with HotelsByDay. Happy to help again anytime.

Room below standard , smelly, not clean, would not recommend this as a dayroom between flights.

First of all room was lovely and spacious so no complaints re size and cleanliness. However upon check in I was told Tv might not work and no idea when it would be working. Unfortunate but not much we could do and not the receptionist fault. I was looking forward to using pool for a few hours before a long flight and was told sorry pool unavailable and this was main reason we booked this. Then it took 4 trips back to reception to get the key to work. Then once in room the wifi did not work. So the facilities I needed I didn’t get any of them extremely annoyed paying $130 and not getting anything we expected. Even if it was for day use.
Hi Elaine,

I was given a no-show when I did show up on time and the staff was incredibly rude and cancelled my room by the time I showed up. It also costed me an expensive cab ride and had to call another one.
Hi RS,
I’m really sorry to hear about this and completely understand why this left such a negative impression. We know how frustrating that must have been, especially with the added inconvenience of transportation.
Please know that on-site staff are managed by the hotel, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with them so they’re aware of what happened and how it impacted your visit.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this experience, and thank you for choosing HotelsByDay.
