Be aware before you book.
Experience was very unprofessional/Concerning. there is a huge message when making the reservations that your card want be charged before arriving; That was not my case. I received an alert that my CC had been charged for the full amt of the room. I called my CC company I advised them that I didn't give this permission, when i arrived the lady was not very knowledgeable as to what to do when something like this happens mind you she knew who i was based off giving her my name she had just reviewed her system and it had me down as paid I stated to her that No the payment was not authorized and infact ive canceled the card due to there deceptive practices to charge my card before arrival and that i would pay with another CC card. she had to call the manager/owner to see if she could move forward with the reservations he told her No because I called my Ccd company and canceled the card due to this activity in which I never approved. Because I questioned thier actions i was not allowed to stay which was best given the service received; we were able to secure a better location with years of experience and several locations.when I've stayed here in the 2023 I never authorized permission to process my card through there other business(which is a Jewelry business-I reported to my bank) these businesses are using other business possibly overseas to take your payment. I was told by the young female that they were no longer using that company to process the transactions. Be-aware!!!
