Once arrived to the property to check in, they stated that they had double booked. Then proceeded to let us know they had a family room at a much outdated motel. Did not honour the complimentary minibar, no refund offered either.. the absolute kicker was they were still advertising the room as available after we were sent elsewhere.

not dog friendly, $50 surcharge ridiculous. In a dog friendly room why charge an additional $50? $15 is normal.
