They overbooked the hotel and still ran my card and told me it's hotels.com's problem now. Saw one of the rooms and it was absolutely disgusting. Had to walk to a different hotel down the interstate. Staff was incredibly rude and had half a dozen reservations behind us that were also ignored. Stay away.

There was somebody od'ing in the lobby, and after we left an ambulance showed up. 0/10 would not recommend. They didn't even help us find another hotel. Hotels.com has not refunded us.
