We were pulling into the lot to pick up our rental and someone called saying there was no car available for us. However, there were tons of care in the lot. When asked about the cars, the person at the desk stated they were reserved for other customers, yet, we also had a reservation and no car was given to us. Disappointed is an understatement.
