Worst experience ever

This has been the worst hotel and booking experience in my entire life. I have basically been robbed. My money is gone, and there has been no hotel stay. An adjustment to my reservation was requested 4 days before original booking but was denied by the property. Clearly before the deadline on their policy. I work in the hospitality industry and never would have expected this treatment.

Had worse, had better.

Hotel needs a deep cleaning, some updates and replacement of broken/worn out furniture. The cooked to order breakfast cost way too much and was the same basic self serve every other hotel has for free. I may have been confused on what cooked to order means.

Room did not have the beds as listed on booking

We booked a room that said it had a king size bed and a sofa bed. We got to the room at 2am and it was only a king size bed in the room. The front desk told us that all we booked was a king size bed. When I showed him my reservation he told me that there were no other rooms to move us to and that it was “probably because we booked through a 3rd party site because all he sees on his side is a king size bed. He offered no help until I got upset because my kids had no where to sleep. He then said he “might could find me a roll away bed” but kept blaming it on the fact that we booked through hotels.com
