SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! Do not reserve here

This listing is probably a scam. hotels.com better take care of it. The directions to the hotel led me to the middle of the street. There was a stadium of some sort on the odd Number side of the street. On the even numbered side, the street there was no such an address. So it was a scam.
