"They were launching their new booking system. It was a mess. It took us 1 hour to check in. The person next to us checked in and later returned to the front desk because the room they were assigned was already occupied. A huge mess and very little help. I recommend calling ahead or expect delays if you are traveling in the coming days, as they're still getting settled with their new system."
