You can pay in full for the room through Expedia, but when you check in, they “require” a $100 reimbursable security deposit. There were several groups of people sitting around outside, and others were sitting in their cars, I suppose because it's a smoke-free hotel. However, our room smelled of stale cigar smoke when we entered. Plus, there was the rowdiness of kids running in the hallway late in the evening. But the water was hot, the air conditioning was cool, and the bed was clean.
