Very upset
I booked 2 nights at this property and because of reasons beyond my control, I was not able to make the trip. I phoned the hotel to cancel my reservation. I was told that I was too late to cancel for a full refund and they would retain one nights cost. I had fully intended to make the trip. The booking agent I dealt with has kindly refunded one nights cost and contacted this property to cover the other night of which they refused. In addition to our room for two nights, our group booked 3 more rooms. The whole experience has been very stressful where it needn't have been.
