They overbooked the hotel and still ran my card and told me it's hotels.com's problem now. Saw one of the rooms and it was absolutely disgusting. Had to walk to a different hotel down the interstate. Staff was incredibly rude and had half a dozen reservations behind us that were also ignored. Stay away.

They were overbooked, and the other couple we were with were able to get their room. Theirs was so disgusting that that asked us to get another hotel. We however could not get our room... There was somebody od'ing in the lobby, and after we left an ambulance showed up. 0/10 would not recommend. They didn't even help us find another hotel. Hotels.com has not refunded us.

Be aware that indoor pool doesnt mean that the water is warm enough for swimming until summer. Part is uncovered and the water flows between the 2. Pool property was not maintained and trash was by all the chairs. Water was tracked thruout the hallways. Breakfast consisted of limited choices, including wet scrambled eggs and no butter for toast.

I don't understand why they would offer a shuttle service at 4:00 AM when it still hadn't arrived by 4:20 AM. I had to call an Uber just to make sure I didn't miss my flight. I even called multiple hotels beforehand to confirm shuttle schedules since my flight was at 5:20 AM.
