We picked this hotel to be able to use the hot tub after our busy/ stressful day, only to be told once we arrived that it has been broken for a month and unavailable. Due to it being non refundable, we stayed but we're very disappointed.

The front desk lady charged me a second time. I already paid pre-stay. Then she swipes my card for "incidentals". Only to have been charged for the same room AGAIN.. then i have to call for 10/15 minutes to figure out why. Zero stars.
