The hotel IS an attractive venue for a nice, even romantic getaway -- and for a bargain! We live within 60 miles of the locale, so that's what I had in mind. There seems to be a recurring complaint about a certain manager, however; and sadly, I'm going to have to add to that list. Printed brochures available in the lobby, as well as the website information listed the room price at $79.00 per night. I booked online, and every webpage reflected this price right up until I submitted the charge authorization. The price suddenly jumped up to $90.00 with no explanation. Upon checking in, I asked why the discrepancy in pricing. BE ADVISED THAT BY BOOKING ONLINE, YOU WILL PAY A SURCHARGE TO THE AGENCY THAT HANDLES THEIR BOOKING (thus, you'll pay $90.00). IF YOU PHONE THE HOTEL DIRECTLY TO BOOK, THE PRICE IS AS LISTED ($79.00). THIS IS NOT STATED ANYWHERE ON THE WEBSITE OR ON THEIR BROCHURES. This revelation at the desk was a bit surprising, but the unpleasant part was when the manager essentially called me a liar for telling him that the website quotes the $79.00 price throughout the booking process. He became somewhat belligerent in his denial, and wouldn't acquiese to checking the website while we were standing there, even though I told him we were staying anyway (after all, it's only $11.00). Funny thing, at check-out, he was all smiles, and when we reviewed the bill in the car, he had knocked off $10.00. Oh,and the website now quotes the $90.00/night price.
