On the first night, they admitted they made a mistake and gave our room away. We were left having to find another hotel. We stayed there on the second night of our planned stay (because we were meeting family) but the hotel displayed they were not on top of running a large hotel again. About 30 min after checking in, a staff member knocked on our door to see if the room was rented yet (probably what happened the first night). I seriously doubt I will ever stay there again. The Polar Express Train ride was fun though.
