The room was very nice…However, I was asked to slide my card for “incidentals” and wasn’t told it was $100! I was only there from 11 pm to 7 am. I have to wait for 5 days for the money to come back to my account. I have been charged before but never that much. I travel a lot internationally and was only there to sleep. Won’t stay again but the everything was good besides this.
