mix up on my part our reservation was made for wrong night, but the manager was very rude weve stayed before and were happy, but will not return due to very rude treatment. no blame was put on the hotel for my mistake. The treatment was uncalled for, and there are far too many hotels that are caring, kind and want your service.
