As a loyal customer who has stayed at this hotel every year for my birthday, I’ve always had great experiences in the past. However, this recent stay has left me extremely disappointed.
After checkout, I was charged $29 for a missing bottle of body wash. The hotel claims their housekeeping team saw it was missing and assures me it wasn’t moved to the kitchen, but there’s no evidence provided to back up this claim.
