They checked me in while I was still in flight. Hadn’t even landed in San Francisco yet charge my credit card when I had a pay at hotel. I was unable to make the booking but because they pre-checked me and they’re saying I stayed there. I have all the documentation showing that they booked me in before I even landed. They have no documentation of me signing anything and yet they will not give me a refund. They forged my credit card and I will plaster it everywhere. I have proof that the email came in at 8:19 that I was checked in. I was still in flight until 9:35 PM. They can’t give me any paperwork where they have my signature or what they seen for ID for me I have the booking that says I will pay at the hotel but they charged my credit card before the day.

Convenient enough, but not as convenient as I was hoping. Parking is limited. Farther from SFO than I hoped. Rooms nice, lots of outlets and amenities. Quiet inside. Staff very friendly and efficient.
