When I saw all the glowing reviews of this place, I thought they must have hacked the review process, I was wrong. Dinosaur Inn is as nice as everyone says. Great place to stay.

When I checked in, I found out that their system couldn't use my info, and they were going to cancel my reservation unless I could find an alternative. I only have one payment method. I had to call my father-in-law and ask him to help out. (Description is a bit vague because my review was not submitted. Trying to rewrite without using terms I suspect were flagged on the initial review)
