After reserving a room for 4 nights, I was not allowed to reserve a hotel room for August 25th-August 29th, 2025. Not sure why. When I go to hotels, I mind my own business and I stay to myself unless this is a Fraud or ID Theft situation. I asked the front desk what did I do wrong? What brought on that decision? Am I being confused with someone else? This is frightening. The front desk clerk said that I was being excluded from both the Super 8 Motel and the English Inn (where I've never reserved a room). Something is definitely wrong. What is going on?to reserve

It was a pretty convenient stay in terms of location to food spots and landmarks, especially the hibachi place next door which was pretty good. The beds were comfortable and the space was clean. The only issue we had was with one of our keycards not unlocking the room, leading us to be locked out. Luckily the other half of our group was in the room and could open the door to let us back in. Besides that, it was a great value for the quality we received.
