Summary: I love this location. But the entire stay was soured by front desk trying to charge me for the stay at checkin, instead of the damage hold.I advised no, I already paid. And front desk kinda brushed it aside and said ok. Then just 75 for incidentals. After checkout, I got an email from my bank that they tried to charge me almost 800 for my stay, AGAIN. Despite paying with VRBO in full before arrival. This is nearly 1k that was attempted to be charged of me for 2 nights stay…. Never again.
