Hotel Abrego

Hotel Abrego

8/10 Good
"Everything was wonderful. Beautiful, clean place. Had a luxurious feel to it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that if you booked through a 3rd party like Expedia, you will be charged an additional 20.00 for the amenities, which is specifically for the breakfast, parking and the free wine you get (even if they clearly advertise that these are "included" in your booking). Be careful too, because Hotels.com or Expedia will charge a "property fee" of 20.00. If you ask what that is for, they will say it is for the breakfast, parking and the free wine BUT you will get charged an additional 20.00 by the hotel again. I disputed this, and I still haven't received my refund. The hotel itself was a wonderful experience. I am just very very upset with the deception and extra charges, when the ad clearly states the amenities are free. I chose this place over another because of the free breakfast, which is your typical continental breakfast. Little did I know, after checking in I would be charged for it."
