Upon arrival my husband was made to pay for the room which I had already paid for. When I arrived later and confirmed that I had already paid, the receptionist agreed to refund my husband's card, however she advised that this would take 5 days! Very annoying to be £150 out of pocket with nothing offered for the inconvenience.
