"We arrived after 10 hours of driving to find they had cancelled all reservations without notifying me or the company I booked through. They had a supposed construction problem. The driveway and parking area was cracked and broken. The overall look was extremely run down. In the long run we were glad not to stay there except for the 90 minute call to get another hotel and then being charged for the new and old room that took a week to resolve."
