"Great Property"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I have a problem. I originally made reservations for one room. Then I called the hotel to add a room and request adjoining rooms. I didn’t realize that the number from google was not the hotel but a 3rd party provider. They charged me 500 per room more than the original reservation was for. What can be done e about this?
