Disappointing

To sum it up, we arrived at the hotel after 3;30am due to flight delays and my room was cancelled (although I had been in contact with the hotel during each delay, I had my reservation guaranteed with my card and the hotel had preauthorized one night’s stay on my card).

We were originally put in a room in which the air had not worked since May. Maintenence came up to look at it and said we needed to change rooms. He said he would tell the front desk. I went down to switch rooms and we were accommodated right away.

It was too difficult to find good food at a late hour which is strange considering it’s a casino.
