Don’t stay there
Well, for the money I paid I’m requiring a refund. It was nasty horrible part of the leak in the ceiling in the bathroom. They knew all this and it was very unhealthy for my grandchildren. I had no money to go anywhere else and that was a lot of money to pay and I expect compensation ASAP from Hotels.com I have been bragging on y’all because if we’ve had problems in your past, always made sure it was fixed and returned to me so I’m not very happy camper and I do not wanna give you. This was disgustingly, horrible, and unsafe animals that were frequently coming around.
