Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Wrote down and told us the wrong room number which led to us being locked out at 3am, then couldn't find anyone to help us. Requested a late checkout while checking in, was informed it would be 20.00 which I agreed to and we could check out at 1pm. Staff began knocking and calling at 10am (check out isn't until 11am). I reminded them we requested a late check (SAME guy calling was the guy that gave us the wrong room number and I had already requested the late check out from) he said again it would be 20.00. I said that was fine. Got my card statement today and they charged me 50.00. We travel for work and stay in hotels weekly, worst services I have EVER received from a hotel.
