Only Stay if You Like Extra Charges

My friends and I booked two rooms. When I got there minutes before them and checked in, they charged my card for the entire stay (not a hold), plus incidentals. They did not do that for my friends when they checked in. When I found out, I questioned it. They said it was their policy to charge the whole amount, so they lied to my face because they screwed up. When we checked out we said we wanted to split the bill. They said they would issue me a credit me for two-thirds. (takes 7-10 days, so I get to pay the interest). Then they gave me a receipt that didn't show the correct amount they charged. They said they would waive the parking fee and "not to worry" that it showed I had a balance due. When I looked at my credit card statement, they charged me not once but TWICE for the full amount plus incidentals, then another $75 incidental fee and then a mystery charge for ANOTHER $722 that had nothing to do with me. Of course when I called to talk to a manger, they weren't in yet. When I called Choice Hotels (they were very nice) they couldn't do anything for me and could see the $722 charge related to another person but couldn't tell me anything. Between the time I have wasted and the interest charges, I would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone!!

This hotel is awesome & fair priced! Its layout is like a townhouse-two bathrooms, large bedroom w/a large walkin closet, plus a queen size pull out couch in the LR. It is clean with a traditional style. I loved it! Now to talk about the staff-they are the friendliest folks. I felt like they were friends, Shautea, Ms. Yonnie& Ingrid were so pleasant, helpful, accommodating it was beautiful to meet such ppl. I would stay here over and over again.

We picked this hotel for the location and were vety happy with it. The hotel was very unique with having 2 floors in our unit. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was perfect for our stay of 3 adults. Very clean and had everything we needed. We took advantage of the free coffee that was offered in the downstairs coffee room as well. They have a lovely courtyard thats lit up at night. We also paid the hotel for the in & out of the public parking garage that worked out great. We would definitely stay again.
