- CGCarrie GravesNov 1, 20251.0I booked a room here through IHG and spent 96,000 rewards points for one night. When I arrived, I was unable to check in because they would not accept either of my 2 bank cards for the security deposit! I even offered to put up cash for the security, but that was also not accepted! We ended up having to find a different hotel because we were unable to check in for our pre-paid reservation... Would not recommend!!
