Arrived to check in only to be told they didn’t have a room for me because the hotel was “overbooked”. Keep in mind I had made a reservation weeks ago and had a card on file to “guarantee “ the room. There are many other options in the area I strongly recommend trying any of them before wasting your time with this business .
