★★★★ Karen Opsahl 7/1/2026 v6.3.0
Wouldn't let me reserve a room for an up and coming trip. Tried the recommended tips to get it to work with no success. Eventually, had to use to my laptop to make my reservation. I've used it successfully in the past but not yesterday. Keep getting app stopped working. I uninstalled app and reinstalled it and still get the same B.S.
★★★★ Dayla Nelson 7/1/2026 v6.2.0

★★★★ Scott Zaban 7/1/2026 v6.3.0

★★★★ Hit List 6/29/2026 v6.2.0
Terrible update. Can't log in. Can't search for hotels.
★★★★ Michael Paxton 6/29/2026 v6.2.0
Captcha doesn't work. Tried so many times that now I am banned till it expires. Don't know how long that will last. Cannot even do sweepstakes on app because can't get into it. App is supposed to make it easy to get into your account or to book rooms. Should not have to go through this. Been this​ way for some time now. This app sucks. cant book anything. Keep getting cant connect to server, please try again soon. Uninstalled and reinstalled and still doesnt work.
★★★★ casie coffin 6/28/2026

booked rooms several times the money was taken but no reservation was made customer support cannot change or address any issues with your account all they can do is tell you sorry we don't care anything about you or where you sleep it will be weeks before you see your money terrible company hopefully they all go to prison for scamming their customers!! DO NOT INSTALL 9R BOOK WITH CHOICE HOTELS YOU WILL END UP SLEEPING IN YOUR CAR OR HAVING TO PAY FOR A ROOM 9N YOUR OWN , TERRIBLE COMPANY SCAM

★★★★ Stephanie 6/24/2026 v6.2.0
worst customer service experience with a. front desk employee at the quality inn warrensburg missouri. discrepancy in icon from every transaction at specific location Member rewards are not being properly attached to profile and was I was asked to leave the property 15 minutes after checking into the room because a manger not even working has personal issues with me over a 2 dollar bottle of water.
★★★★ Marietta Dicken 6/22/2026 v6.2.0
dam cons, burry cost an cancel policy in a email, all rooms said free cancellation on the site.
★★★★ Pete Correa 6/22/2026 v6.2.0
horrible won't allow sign in and freezes
★★★★ Robert Brannen 6/21/2026
Don't waste your time with the app. I downloaded the app, I put in my email and password, What's told it was incorrect. I reset my password Still told me everything was incorrect. I want to set up an account and told me I already had an account to log in. Nothing but a run around
★★★★ L B 6/19/2026 v6.1.0
App crashes immediately upon opening. App will also not save login information.
★★★★ Barbara Rickert 6/18/2026 v6.2.0

I have been using them for years and there app had a glitch and they stole 80 bucks from me and wouldnt let me get the room I paid for I had to contact my bank to get the money back. the supervisor was no help and basically told me they stole from and theres nothing she can do after someone else told me they would fix the problem. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM UNLESS U WANT TO GET ROBBED
★★★★ Kimberly Good 6/13/2026 v6.2.0

★★★★ James Jundt 6/12/2026 v6.1.0
the App constantly does not work
★★★★ Dogis happy 6/11/2026 v6.1.0
I click on the hotel's address to take me to the hotel, and Google maps gives me results for hotels near my location. Makes confirming if my intended destination is anywhere near the hotel quite... tedious.
★★★★ Kimberly Capps 6/10/2026
it's not opening which makes trying to find hotels impossible!! it use to be amazing, but now it SUCKS!@
★★★★ Rich 6/10/2026
Total incompetence. They logged me out, messed up my password and then locked my account. Now they lose around $3000 a month in bookings.
★★★★ Amy Paik 6/8/2026 v6.1.0
I have never, once, had the app work when I tried to use it.
★★★★ Vishal K Bajpai 6/8/2026 v6.1.0
Will not allow login and crashes after update
★★★★ L Mariotti 6/6/2026
Just downloaded the update. But when I go to open it , message comes on to say there is a bug in it. So how is a traveler going to make a reservation with this app problem?????
★★★★ Sean Adinolfi 6/6/2026
why can't i review my stay. to hide terrible service
★★★★ Rosemary Kind 6/4/2026 v6.1.0
Not user friendly.
★★★★ Romeo Tango Zulu 5/31/2026 v6.0.1
Latest app update has resulted in issues with logging in. Finger Print no recognized, incorrect login credentials, Have to reset password each time to be able to log in. Unacceptable.
★★★★ Mel 5/31/2026
Scam. Booked my stay through this app, earned no points. Contacted support and they told me that unfortunately I didn't earn points because I'd used an "unofficial" way to make the reservation. They suggested I should use this app in the future to earn points. Which is precisely what I did use. I don't know how you actually earn points, but you definitely will not get them using this app.
★★★★ Bea V 5/29/2026
Crashes every.single.time.
★★★★ Kelly Cornett 5/28/2026
horrible customer service app listed amenities like pool and breakfast. showed up to neither had sad kids and has to spend extra money. called customer service who said called customer service who kept me on hold for over an hourm supervisor pretended to not hear me to end the call. I called out behavior. nothing happened except they argued apparently if you book on web browser on computer it has a pop up alert that amenities aren't available. the app doesnt have such a pop up alert!!!!
★★★★ Wally Gator 5/27/2026 v6.0.1
The single, most buggiest app I've ever had the displeasure to use
★★★★ Faith Walsh 5/27/2026 v6.0.1
Despicable hotel. The receptionist at the one on west Saginaw in lansing was so rude and unkind. I canceled the booking and went elsewhere. Despise the place so much I blocked emails from them.
★★★★ Justin Chabot 5/27/2026 v6.0.1
No longer compatible with Android. Menu items are behind the Android navigation bar, rendering them unclickable. I can no longer view invoices for business expenses hotels and cannot expense them without going back to the hotels to get physical receipts.
★★★★ Anthony Smith 5/27/2026 v6.0.1
app is terrible. don't recognize my sign in, or my fingerprint sign in. keeps glitching.
★★★★ Aaron Fields 5/26/2026 v6.0.1
Cannot even log in, immediate crash on sign in page. I need this for setting up hotels both for an upcoming personal trip and for weekly business purposes.
★★★★ Robert Adams 5/26/2026 v6.0.1
App and Call center are awful.
★★★★ Matthew Schultz 5/24/2026 v6.0.1
Why doesn't someone create a keep me logged in option?!? the constant needing to sign in just to use this app is beyond ridiculous.
★★★★ Steve Hamilton 5/23/2026 v6.0.1
garbage like their hotels
★★★★ A Google user 5/17/2026 v5.34.0
Can't disable booking text confirmation, it activates by itself over and over. App crashes a lot. Can't select hotel in map view during booking. Digital gift cards not sent when redeemed via app. Things are just building up :(
★★★★ BL 5/17/2026 v5.34.0
crashes, hard to login, doesnt consistently update past stays, invoice download is always corrupted
★★★★ Ima Idiot 5/12/2026 v5.34.0
I'm very tired of having to fight this app to book a room. I know that I'm not a big spender, but I book on average 7 nights a year. If Choice Hotels doesn't want my business, another chain will
★★★★ Bob Anthes 5/11/2026 v5.34.0
Wholly unusable in its current state for business purposes. App crashes when trying to alert through the help section in the settings. The "view receipt" prompt appears behind the footer at the bottom of my android phone, rendering it interactive-able. Emails are incomplete as receipts due to incomplete information. One gets directed to a website that can't be interacted with in such a way as to be useful, unless booking, you can always book using a credit card.
★★★★ Gary Smith 5/11/2026 v5.34.0
I can't get on it. it doesn't recognize me. we've attempted several times to fix it with no luck
