I went to check in and I waited to be told they were waiting for housekeeping and to come back later. I couldn't come back later because I was playing in a tournament and didn't finish till midnight. To drive there to find it closed and I had no place to stay. I had to sleep in my vehicle. This was not acceptable. Terrible service
