When checking in, after getting my CREDIT card information, the clerk wanted $100 (cash only) deposit to spend the night. He had nothing in writing, no prewarning, just demanded the cash before he would give me the room key. I refused to pay this extortion, and canceled the booking, at which point it was an arguement for me to get a paper printed that said it was canceled. The motel is nice enough, but the help wanted to shake me down $100 more to get to use it. Never spent the night. How do you give negative stars?
