Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was claimed that I had a booking with this establishment through Expedia, when I declared that I did not confirm such a reservation, nor did I receive or I acknowledge any confirmation sent to me within 3 months of the stay. The property did call me to see where I was on the night of question and I notified them of this error, yet they still proceeded to charge my card with no contact to myself. My credit card was charged and now I am having a very hard time trying to recover the funds for my supposed reservation that never happened. I have reached out to Expedia several time with no response, hence I thought I would try the hotel directly. I appreciate any response.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disappointed the king bed was 2 singles joined together. My partner and I kept getting stuck in the middle as it would dip where it joins. Needs to be a screen on the glass sliding door, and the desk in the room was chipped all over with marks. Not what i would expect for a premium king room.
