The first day the staff were very helpful. On checkout day our vehicle was list and it took 2 hours for the staff to find resulting in us being late for our Statue of Liberty experience. Also even though we paid all taxes & fees with Expedia, the hotel charged us an additional $350 for their taxes too.
