This hotel discriminates and refused to allow my son to stay there despite having paid in full and given a debit card for any other charges. They refused to let my son check in after charging his card and left my son stranded on the July 4th weekend with nowhere to go. Horrific experience and horrible staff. The GM and front desk GM were rude and unprofessional and refused to give my son his paid for room based on their inaccurate understanding of the law. Overpriced to begin with and horrible customer service that discrimantes. Worst experience ever with a hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!
