we had to ask for toilet paper (after the room had been cleaned).ĭinner and lunch in the tavern was expensive and disappointing (we had to return 1 meal - after pushing the waitress as she didnt see anything wrong with all the fat on the steak). Twice asked the concierge for help with issues with the room. In 3 days we had to have our door keys redone at least 20 times (2-3x/day). Dogs yapping in the room at night and you can hear absolutely everything going on in the hallway. All the exit doors were never locked and many didnt close all the way *lending to the cold). The hallways and common areas were absolutely freezing. We were greeted very nicely by the valet-promising start. Manchester is quaint and the Northshire bookstore is a must for all. Just returned today from a 3cday weekend. The Equinox never did respond to our complaint with the Better Business Bureau, neither did Marriott BonVoy. The incompetence of the current Accounts Department is unbelievable! This time they gave us someone else’s address in Oregon, instead of our New Hampshire address. Bank of America, however, notified us that they would make up the difference, because of the long delay in reimbursement to our credit card-they were also anxious to close the dispute after all these months!Īdding insult to injury, I might add that the Equinox Accounts Department could not even get our address correct on the revised folio. But, even then, we were short-changed by $7.80. Update: On October 5, 2019, at long last, we were sent a revised folio from the Equinox and received a reimbursement for the double-billing for our stay back in June of 2019-so much for the General Manager stating that we would see a credit within 3-5 days on August 16, 2019. ![]() It pained me to do so, as I have been a loyal fan of the Equinox for more than 40 years, either staying there or dining at the Marsh Tavern. We waited patiently for that refund, but by mid-September 2019 when there was still no sign of a credit issued on our Bank of America Visa card, I had no choice but to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and to Marriott BonVoy. ![]() However, there was no apology-so much for guest relations! At the registration desk, I asked to see the General Manager, and a woman on duty there said that she was the manager and how could she help? I explained the double-billing, and after a lengthy checking of their records online, as well as the records of, she admitted that I was correct and that she would issue a credit immediately. On Thursday, August 16, 2019, since I was back in Manchester, VT, for the Dorset Festival Theater, I decided to stop by the Equinox to find out why we had not received a reimbursement. When I called the registration desk to get this corrected the next day and over the course of several months, I was shunted from department to department, but not once was there a person to answer my calls-I left messages on both the Accounts Manager's VoiceMail and the General Manager's VoiceMail, but not once did I get a call back! This can be no simple error on the part of the Equinox, as on the folio itself, it clearly was annotated that this was an ADVANCE PURCHASE against the daily hotel rate charged.

The reason for this is that we paid in advance for our two-night stay from June 27 to June 29, 2019, using, yet when we received the billing for incidentals, such as restaurant meals and resort fees, via email I found that we were double-charged for our accommodations.
