My reservation was lost at check in, booked 2 rooms but when checked in there was only one reservation, cost me $100 extra for one of the rooms. Then I was charged an extra 214.18 for some reason and they claimed they credited it back but I have not seen the credit yet. Very disappointed with the whole booking and check in process.
