The room we got was very different from the room we saw on Hotels.com. The room we were given was in a separate building from the main building and was much smaller, very basic and run down.

We stayed in the motel section of this hotel. And it was seedy to say the least. Very old room. The sink was outside of the bathroom in the bedroom area. The room was clean, but very old and musty. For $300 this was a pitiful room.
