I didn't like the fact that the operator would not take the American Express Card ( I know retailers pay more to honor this card)..I had to give a $100.00 fee for a refundable guarantee in cash..Fortunately, I booked from Expedia who DID honor my card..Expedia nor the hotel did not publish any advance notice of this deposit..It was however, a very pleasant stay which I will book again in the future.
