Funny enough, I walked by the hotel a couple of weeks ago and thought to myself, I would not want to stay there. This thread gives me solid reason to tell people to avoid it if this GM remains here. Sad part is, he probably turned quite a few people away and they were given no alternates or even knew they were being screwed!
BTW, the hotel is showing availability for tonite - $379.
