The guy at the hotel said they do a holding charge first then they charge you what is owed. (This was told after the fact) When we checked in they said they would only hold $100 not $403.60 WTF!!!! Hey said that they released the 403.60 upon check out but it will take about 3 business days to receive the money. What kind of bull is that??!!! Also if you have a connecting room. You can hear everything in the room next to you from the TV, normal tone conversations and at night sex! I would not stay here agajn

Location was fantastic. Staff were great. Room was amazing.
Found long hair in my bed when I pulled back sheets. Could have just been from the housekeeper. Still a little off-putting. Room was very humid even with AC running constantly.

Updated room.
Communication seems to be an issue. Confirmed I could book a half day to extend stay. Turns out I couldn’t even after numerous times of talking to them. Would have been great to make those accommodations for my 8 month old and wife a few days prior. It’s unfortunately just a simple fix. Had I known it wouldn’t have been an issue.
