They charge my card twice and never refunded. I have been calling many times and still not able to figure out why.

Charged me for a day I didn’t stay because I cheated out because the staff was rude. Go to the the Tru by Hilton if you’re wanting a drama free , clean, comfortable place to stay. I am a diamond elite member so I know what I am talking about. In my opinion I suggest the tru or Campbell house .

DECEPTIVE BILLING — this hotel advertises a price, then upon arrival they attempt to charge a mandatory $10/night “incidental charge” whether you purchase snack items or not. I asked if the charge was refunded if we didn’t buy anything and was told it was NOT refunded, it was a charge. When I showed the clerk my reservation, which clearly showed the contracted rate and no incidental fees mentioned, I was told “I just work here, you have to pay it.” I had to insist she call an off-site manager to waive it.
This hotel advertises on Booking and Expedia with lower rates than their nearby competitors, then attempts to up your rate when you arrive.

Room is fine. But why so much noise in the middle of the night? 3rd time we've stayed in 6 months and every time we try to go to bed. Its incredibly noisy around 11pm til 3 or 4am. The room even shakes no matter what floor we're on! Its unnerving
