My senior mom showed up with my two children and immediately called me saying that she didnt feel safe being there with the kids and that she was going to go find somewhere else to stay. I told her that the hotel was non-refundable, and she said that that didn't matter because it wasn't worth the risk. I tried and tried to get a refund but no one would give one. So, my mom was out that money, but they found a nicer stay at Red Roof in Gainesville.
