Called in to confirm the room we booked is a two queen size beds prior to arrival. When we got there, the room was not available and we got a king size bed with a sofa bed instead. Didn’t let us know we needed to get a parking permit. Staffs seemed clueless and have no resolution on resolve the issue of getting us the wrong room.

Booked on Expedia and paid ahead of time. Had a significant extra charge on our bill that I called about at least 6 times. Always got put on hold, hung up on, or sent to voicemail and never called back and the charge was never corrected. While the property was nice and very memorable for us (we got engaged there 20 years ago), I would never stay there again because of such bad customer service.
