"Did not like the fact they have very early check out at 9 am while they only allow check in at 4 pm - did not notice this when I reserved - this is preposterous Might as well have booked a hotel. When I called they wanted to charge 60$ for late check out and said it needs to be 5 days prior to the trip and did not even allow to pay for it"
