Billing Problems

We were over billed by hundreds of dollars. I had booked 2 rooms thru Hotels.com. When I arrived they told me I didn't have a second booking. I had said it was under Ervin. The receptionist said she could not find it so we paid for another room only to find out the booking was there and we were charged for a no show. Hotels .com has asked for a refund but I have heard nothing. Please issue the refund and ask your receptionists to take greater care in their searches. Thank you. Ann Schoenthaler- Ervin

I landed on a late delayed flight. I was initially concerned as the website said that checkin to the hotel closed at midnight but a quick email and an equally quick response got rid of my fears. My room was lovely and exceeded my expectations. Despite the proximity to the airport it wast noisy. I'd definitely stay again.
