Can you dispute a motel charge on CC if you left 10min from checking in?
Motel disaster - disputing charge
Long story short, I was on a long road trip with my 9yo daughter. Me (35F) was stupid enough and just looked at the 4stars this motel had on Google and called directly for a room to stay. I will say I am not the type of person to complain, I’m extremely laid back and reasonable. I also find charm in older builds so the out dated places are still enjoyable. When I checked into this place everything seemed just normal and fine. A bit run down of course but nothing that had me running. When we got to the room it was an immediately devastating. It smelled musty and old walking in and even though I don’t typically care outdated furnishings, this place clearly did not care about cleaning. It dealt dirty. The wall paper was peeling off, there was a layer dust on the shelf between the beds, the beds looked sketchy so I decided to look under the sheets for bed bugs and thankfully I didn’t see any but that led me to the entire space between the wall and the mattress full of cobwebs with the wood base of the bed also covered in dust and dead bugs. After that I stood around trying to contemplate if I could even stay there and being exhausted from driving was so overwhelmed and just wanted to be comfortable to go to sleep. I needed to shower and looking at the shower made me want to skip that, I thought maybe I could just sleep the other way on the bed so I didn’t have to have my head near the cobwebs but I knew I wasn’t going to sleep. My boyfriend ended up booking us down the street and got us out of there as I was crying with how much of a disaster it was. The owners saw I was leaving and tried to get me to stay, I showed them my concerns and they begged me to look at another room to which I did and it was cleaner but had lost my taste for the place. They said they couldn’t refund me and honestly I want to just forget it but I’m also upset they didn’t do the right thing. Can I win the dispute if I call my credit card company? I called the motel directly and gave my number over the phone when booking but with how disastrous it was I’m appalled I paid $200 for it. I get I messed up with not reading reviews and no I’m probably put the money but just thought I’d ask if anyone had any ideas.
