It was the weirdest thing. When I checked in, there’s a little booth and everything was done via video conference. I did not like the fact that I was using all my information with this machine communicating with somebody in India if I’m not mistaken. I just never experienced this in my entire life. I’m sure it’s secure. Maybe it’s not. I don’t know. But it was strange not having someone on site to deal with you. The other odd part was the location where I parked. I didn’t realize it until the next morning that it seemed like people could be hiding out on the edge of the property where the grounds dipped down to what seemed to be an irrigation or water runoff ditch. It looked like people had been camping out back there at one point.

It is essentially a spartan prison cell for cheap. Seriously. Rust colored water pours out of pipes so don’t plan on taking a shower or brushing teeth.
