Everything was perfect the first time we stayed…this time around I gave only 4 stars. Although the scenery itself stands out…the room and some fees are the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5. The bathroom corners on the floor of room 204 has some mold otherwise room was good. We were charged 466$ on our check in.on the day of check out we were charged a separate 366$ Which one of our a dent in the funds we were going to use for the day. It was a horrible inconvenience and when we spoke with the front desk staff we were told they couldn’t see that charge at their end. I had to dispute it. As I’ve said before, we had a wonderful stay the first time around, the second could have been better.
