This property tried to steal my $100 "deposit". After nearly 2 weeks, they still had not credited the $100 back, despite no damages(I took photos and video). I called the property and a rude, nasty worker who refused to give her name said "someone forgot" and now says I "may" get a credit in "10 business days". I also saw evidence of fraudulent use of my card in other ways. This property is managed by rude, entitled people who think they can treat guests however they want. I actually LEFT this hotel after 1 night and stayed across the street at the wonderful Holiday Inn where the employees respect the clients. Beware of VERY shady staff at this location
