Stopped there this morning before a flight to Mexico. They were not open at 7am as stated on website. The woman was extremely rude to us. When we got to our hotel I Mexico my husband checked his bank acct and the women charged him 5 times, and drained his bank acct. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS!!!!! BEWARE.
