Made reservation Apr 30, 2025. Change/cancel info says charge for cancellation made after 6:00pm local time on June 6, 2025 are subject to property fee equal to first night’s rate plus taxes and fees. When I cancelled on June 7, 2025 I was told rate, taxes, and fees for full stay were non-refundable. Had you told me that on April 30, 2025 there would have been no reservation. Please refund the excess payment charged to my credit card.
