We've Been Upgraded to a higher end hotel!

Hello! I just got a call from our travel company and the hotel has been overbooked and they are upgrading our group to a nicer hotel across the parking lot from our original hotel. I will be emailing the details and posting them to the website when I have the details, but they have agreed to upgrade any of our family members who also booked at the Beuna Vista Hotel! If you are not traveling with our group but booked a room at our hotel, please email me and I will arrange to have your hotel upgraded. Please email me the name that the reservation was under and the number of rooms ASAP. Thanks!
