Business ProfileforLivINN Hotels (Maplewood)

On January 2, ****, I rebooked my stay at the livinn hotel located in Maplewood, (my kids and I checked in on 12/30/2023) and at around 2pm housekeeping came to my door and asked me to open it, they then asked me if i was smoking, to which I replied no, the door was wide open and 3 employees stood on the other side, they then said there was a thick cloud of smoke in the air (there wasn't) they came in the room looked around & found no evidence to support their claim. They then told me i had to leave. I stated this was ridiculous and that I had kids there and a smoke alarm would sound if there was a thick cloud of smoke. I then packed up my things within 10 minutes and we went outside to wait for our ride. The hotel had called the police and 2 squads pulled up and entered the hotel without saying anything to me, then talked to front desk before going into the elevator, (which i assume was to look over the room). When the Officers were exiting one yyysimply asked if I was ******, I stated yes and that I was waiting for an Uber, He said "cool" and they all left. That was it. I then contacted Priceline since this was a 3rd party booking and I needed to go through them to be refunded. They contacted the hotel to see if they would refund my $82 reservation since I hadn't completed it or stayed in the hotel for any of it, as it was still before 3pm. The hotel said no because there was cigarette and crack smoke in my room!! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE SMOKED CRACK, and I have no idea what it smells like... Very curious about how the staff person who said this would know?? They refused my refund which is obnoxious because If I was really smoking crack and the smell and/or condition of my room, or my appearance/behavior supported this along with my kids there, Police would have searched me and my *************** taken. I called corporate, they said they are backing the hotels decision. I believe A refund for my reservation $82 and $50 incidental security deposit is Fair. $132.00
