I couldn’t stay there. They didn’t accept pets after I prepaid drove all night. Had to work in the morning arrived at midnight to a disappointing sign on the office window at the property, saying no pets after the filter that I always put when I’m looking for hotel on Hotels.com is animal, friendly pet friendly Wi-Fi and parking. I want my money back. I need a refund. I never stayed there. I got screwed again.
