"Went to check in. Lobby closed and was supposed to check in across the road at motel 6. Got over there and according to her system the reservation was canceled. I didn’t cancel my stay. I had to redo my stay. It was late so it wouldn’t let me do the Friday night. Ended up having to stay at the motel 6 instead and it was disgusting"
