The room was filthy, had roaches and ants. Looked to have had water damage so there is likely mold present as well. I spoke to the person at the desk and stayed at a different hotel. Had to wait until the next day to speak to a manager about refunding my stay, who told me I had to contact Orbitz. I tried to make the request on Orbitz, but the refund options and chat didn’t get me any progress. So the following day, I called Orbitz and the representative was extremely understanding and fortunately I got a refund. I originally tried to request the refund online through chat, but that feature did not work and I wasted a lot of time trying. I wish they would make it easier to do so I didn’t waste so much time. The hotel approved the refund and I hope they are able to make changes and correct their issues.

The Rooms were filthy, the first room had no air that worked, and the drapes were hanging off the window. Then they put us on the first floor, which, by the way, to let you know, the elevator did not work . The second room had no light bulbs and was filthy, plus we had to pay an extra $20.00 in cash as a security deposit
This was the air conditioning
The bed and dirty head board and only pillows for one
The light fixture
the vent in bath room
