I have stayed in this hotel before and always had great experiences, sadly today was the polar opposite. Initially the visit started off great and the desk staff got me checked in and upgraded (it's great being a Platinum Priority Club member) quickly and easily. It wasn't until several hours later while checking my credit card online that I noticed a several hundred dollar charge to my account from the hotel that shouldn't have been there as this was a free points night. When I called down to the front desk I was hung up on while the person was "getting a manager". After deciding to go down and deal with the issue in person, it was only after about 15 minutes and a threat to call the police that the on duty manager finally tried to actually fix the problem. After about 45 minutes of waiting and the on duty manager refusing multiple times to contact the actual manager of the hotel the on duty manager was able to make a bit of progress in reversing the fraudulent charges. At no time did anyone apologize for the issue or try to do anything to make the situation any better. I ended up having to contact my bank directly to get the charges taken care of. I still haven't heard from the Hotel Manager and the desk staff was giggle through the entire ordeal. I can say that this stay has definitely soured my feelings towards an otherwise outstanding hotel. I will be asking to speak with the Hotel Manager in the morning when I check out and hopefully they will do something to fix this situation before I give up on this facility going forward.
