The hotel incorrectly billed the customer twice and failed to release holds.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thorough review, Shaun. While we are glad you found our location convenient for exploring Midtown and were pleased with your room, we are sorry that the credit card process was a source of frustration during your stay. The experience you described with duplicate charges and unresolved holds does not reflect the service our Guest Relations team strives to provide. We will be sure to review what happened so we can prevent this occurring for future guests. Your observations about the neighborhood and elevator waits are also important for us to consider as we work to improve the overall experience. We appreciate you sharing your perspective.
