Overall the property was very nice and cute. We did have an issue with the a/c not cooling, but didn't call about it because it was at 11:30 pm when we noticed. When I mentioned it at check out they offered to comp us breakfast, but we were in a hurry to leave. I appreciated the offer. Self parking was easy! There was a roach in our bathroom, but again, I didn't call about it because it was so late. I've been wanting to stay here based off pictures and I hope to give it another opportunity.

I love this location. But the entire stay was soured by front desk trying to charge me for the stay at checkin, instead of the damage hold.I advised no, I already paid. And front desk kinda brushed it aside and said ok. Then just 75 for incidentals. After checkout, I got an email from my bank that they tried to charge me almost 800 for my stay, AGAIN. Despite paying with VRBO in full before arrival. This is nearly 1k that was attempted to be charged of me for 2 nights stay …. Never again.

Stay itself was fine and as expected. The property itself, being a hotel, was up to standards for a 3-4 start hotel. However, the booking process was a complete fraud that neither the hotel, VRBO or host could resolve. Essentially I was charged close to 200 above what I booked with VRBO and have a receipt for. Neither the hotel or VRBO could solve the issue and correct the charge. VRBO has zero customer support available and only passes issue to the host. No person to actually speak too. Hotel claimed that the problem was on the VRBO side. Fortunately, I used my AMEX card and they took care of this for me. (Note - they know the true meaning of customer service. especially as it relates to travel)
