The car air conditioner did not work. It got to 92 that day. In addition the oil showed 0% life on oil. We called 10-15 times and no answer. The next day we went back to return. The manager said they never answer the phone, too busy. Put us in a smaller car that had been used by a smoker. I will NOT be using this spot in the future.
