Unique

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The stay there was great very relaxed and quiet.The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of five is because when booked and paid through Expedia but when we went to check in the hotel wanted to charge an additional $100 for "incidentals fee to be reimbursed after checking out ' I explained we didn't have an extra $100 on a card bc we had just gotten married and this hotel stay was our gift from a guest plus it's quite inconvenient to ask this when we've Already paid for our room, however the desk attendant was polite and accommodating so he charged a lesser amount for us,which was sent back to us once we checked out,but I still received an email saying they tried to charge my card the remaining $75 overnight but was declined.smh..other than that hiccup all was well
