Welcome Inn LLC is very unsympathetic and rigs the house with unreasonable house rules only disclosed after booking.
My parents were visiting for 2 weeks, so I wanted a nice place to treat them. A few days after our check-in, my parents were concerned about the front door lock. So, my partner and I went over to check on the door, stayed with them for less than 30', and took them out to dinner.
On the following day, the host called and said that they had pictures of 2 extra people and they would be charging us for the entire duration of the stay, $1,066. Then, they listed out the policies that we violated, e.g., how we hadn't sent them our SSNs yet. I tried to explain myself, but they were relentless in getting the money or they would evict my parents. The call went nowhere. After 2 weeks of emailing everyday, Airbnb sided with us, but it took a huge toll on our mental health. Should we support businesses like this? Monitoring and charging people over $1,000 for a 30’ visit?
