The pictures of the hotel and amenities are AI generated so don't base your stay on the photos and make sure you look at the information below where you book your room because on top of the price of the room you have a deposit you have to pay before you can check in and you should pay that in cash if you want it back anytime soon I mean it only takes them a min. to pull it off your card
