The room was excellent. But I was never told that I was going to get charged a deposit on my card, and it be returned in 1 to 10 business days. Without my authorization. That's wrong to me

This is a loud and busy hotel. They dont do anything about other quests running up and down the halls or making alot noise. I checked into the hotel and I was told they placed a hold on my credit card for $75. I asked when would that be back on my card lady said 5 business days Its been almost.2 weeks and nothing. Its gonna take 30 days before I get my money back.

Overnight stop to break up the trip

Overall the hotel was clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the room was nice. It included a kitchen and a recliner. The only cleanliness issue was the track of the shower door was full of pink and black mold, which was much more noticeable when you are inside the shower. Only other complaint was the staff. At check in, there was a sign that said I’ll be right back. I waited 5 min before anyone showed up, and she walked up and didn’t smile or greet me. Just said “name”. Then muttered something about it being a stressful night. She was not courteous or friendly at all. When my bill was much more than I had booked for and I questioned it, she rudely said, “that’s with the deposit!”. Other than that, the hotel was nice and a convenient stop on our way to North Carolina.
