Do not recommend

Booked through a third party. There was a booking issue had to contact them to change dates due to system malfucntion.Used the ai services which made things worse. Called hotel they fixed it. Called back the next day to confirm and make sure we had no more issues to be told they could not touch the resrvation and that i needed to contact third party customer service to get an automative service that eneded up sending me in a full circle to the ai services agian which was not helpful. Contacted hotel agian to get a diffrent number and finally got ahold of a real person. Finally got dates fixed through them to find out they told the hotel a completely diffrent date and payment amount. And had to start all over agian. Finally got confirmation 3 days later. Drove several hours away from home arrived at our hotel to have to wait over an hour to get booked because their system didnt want to take our payment. Yet third party booking charged a pending fee immediately after booking. And they did not want to fix any of it. Lady at the front desk was extremely rude and frustrated with the whole ordeal. Altho once i had given her the run down of our experience her whole attitude changed and we eventually got it figured out. Did not make a great first time experience. Do not recommend doing reservations online and i will stick to the old fashion way of doing it my self.
