The owner or staff manager waited for my husband to step out of room to come to my room knock and ask if we were still occupying room. I guess his cleaning staff told him we took our stuff when we left to enjoy our day and he wanted to rent out. I paid for Friday thru Sunday and he came to see if we were still in room. Inappropriate!!!! Especially waiting for me to be alone!
