We booked a studio king suite and were given a basic 2 queen room claiming there was nothing left. Friends of ours showed up after we did and they were given a king. They also did not want to honor or 4 night booking thru Expedia for $669 They tried to charge us $919 claiming fees and taxes. After showing them my receipt on Expedia they said that was not true because it was not honored because it was not prepaid. They eventually did go with our Expedia booking, charging us $150 for incidentals.
