The hotel denied check in. Room was booked for an employee. Hotel was asking physical credit card for check in the guy didn’t have it. Hotel should have charged security on the credit card that was used for booking. Guest chose to walk away instead. Terrible experience. Seeking refund for the booking

The lady at the front stayed back and put in a double shift because the night shift called in sick. That says a lot about how much they care about their customers. She was super friendly and was very helpful.
