Upon arrival, we were charged $50.00 more per night than the price we were quoted over email when we reserved. Even though, we had shown that in writing that's what we were quoted, we were still charged the higher amount. the website advertises a fully equipped kitchenette, unfortunately the outdated burners were NOT working, and we were unable to cook... more
