Hotel sucks they almost killed me

Experience at this hotel was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life. I was barged into my room by a stranger. This hotel clerk gave a stranger access to my room barged in while I was minding my business and they have not repaid me yet I am going to sue this place

The staff downstairs was nice. The rooms smelled wet and musty. I switched rooms twice and it was a little better but still not the best. We was suppose to get daily house cleaning.. fresh towels and beds made and I had to call twice as well as my coworkers. Besides that it was good. Nice selection at breakfast.
