"I have stayed here twice and both times I have pre-paid for my stays only to have this front desk charge my credit card $309. It’s like these people don’t know how to put an authorized hold on cards vs actually charging them! They also don’t take any charges from that “deposit” they just charge you for it then charge your card again for every charge incurred. Will NEVER STAY HERE AGAN"
