The Internet was down entire time We could not conduct business we needed After 5 days ...we asked to check out early because we needed to conduct necessary business The owner declined our request to do this Will NEVER go back! An employee there did their best to assist us The owner "on vacation" declined to allow us to check out ...so we left...had to pay the room fee there AND ANOTHER HOTEL!
