I spoke to the owner, Martha and she will confirm my credit card to your company needs to be credited for the entire amount charged as we never even got there. I spoke to Martha and she told me to contact Travelocity for credit as this has happened to them previously several times due to where they are located. The online hotels, etc. all show them as closer to the freeway than they actually are. I tried to get a hold of someone to speak to online however; your website only asked specific questions that had absolutely nothing to do with the comments and questions I needed to ask in regards to get our credit. Therefore; I will be expecting a full credit applied to our credit card ending 3940 by tomorrow at the very latest. As far as giving an online review, I will check my credit card pending charges to ensure that the credit has been received and posted against my pending charges on my card.

I did not process the credit card for the night stay. In my books it is marked as a cancellation with no fee attached. I hope travelocity refunds your night stay.

Sehr schönes, kleines, ruhiges Hotel mit Flair direkt am Ohio. Der Ort Rising Sun ist klein und verschlafen. Die Besitzerin Marsha kümmert sich liebevoll um ihre Besucher und erfüllt ihnen jeden Wunsch. Wir werden wiederkommen.
