"Horrible experience. They are only looking to maximize their profits. We had a reservation but they gave our room to another person who offered to pay more . They offered us another room of where the owner usually sleeps, the room is horrible and not fitted to be rented to guest. It had personal items and not clean. and tried to charge us a ridiculous expensive price because they knew all the hotels were booked for the weekend. They will give up your reservation to any person who offered to pay...
