I really had higher hopes of this place from the photos online, when we booked through experian it made it seem like the charge had already happened, because the receipt literally said paid..... Upon arrival we were double charged(after being under the the thought it had come out when booked) we has about 400 set aside to be abke to enjoy our weekend in Birmingham, we ended up having zero funds to do anything (including anybfood for the stay) we checked out this morning. The double charge has still not been refunded. Really really upset and disappointed
