    "However, I did not appreciate getting charged again for my room by the hotel when I had already prepaid for it." source Expedia

    "Earlier or later should be ok; (b) Parking is expensive, but it was worth it to me to avoid hasle; (c) There was no hook in our bathroom on which to hang cloths when in shower; (d) If you crave quiet, request an interior room." source Travelocity

    "gorgeous hotel, awesome location, rooms are beautiful and spacious, beds are very comfortable. Unfortunately, the walls were made paper thin so we heard everything in our neighboring rooms." source Travelocity
