The room was amazing… The service sucked! They asked me if I wanted to upgrade my room for $100 and I said yes then they charged my card $437 then they said it was an error but only refunded me $211 and they acted like it was my problem when I called the front desk when they had obviously made the error. Put a bad taste in my mouth about the entire stay.
