They gave me a room without a view even though I paid for a room with a view. When I complained they said that since I booked through Expedia they didn't have it in "their system" that the room was supposed to have a view. Their "system" didn't have a problem charging me the price of a room with the view. When I asked to be refunded the price difference all I got was more inanities about "the system".

Convince and Historical location

Our stay was excellent except for the gentleman who checked us in on our arrival. He seemed to be annoyed that are flight was late and our arrival was delayed. Outside of this everything else was outstanding!
